I was placed in the Trade Marketing Team within the Advertising and Online (A&O) department. My primary focus was as a sales resource to present to clients and advertising agencies around Microsoft’s advertising story across their different platforms. I became Microsoft’s UK Windows 8 specialist while the product was in beta presenting to ad and creative agencies, customers such as O2, Barclays, Nationwide, Volkswagen, BBC, ESPN and Groupon and eventually to some of Microsoft’s major clients including MDs and CEOs at the Cannes Advertising Festival in June 2012, including Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO of WPP, Lindsay Pattison, CEO of Maxus, Daren Rubins, CEO of PHD, Stuart Bowden, MD of MEC, Paul Wright, Chief Digital Officer of Omnicom and David Wheldon, Head of Brand at Barclays.I also was a prime tweeter for the social engagement plan, blogged for Microsoft product launches, designed an ad agency engagement programme which was taken on as a best practise across the company, ran multiple evening events for customers and agency evenings including Microsoft’s Imagine conference for over 500 delegates and the MSN relaunch at One Mayfair for 750 people.

My placement in Summer 2008 was with CC group, a broad-based marketing communications agency that delivers PR, advertising and integrated communications, specialising in the telecoms, mobile, consumer technology and consumer lifestyle sectors.As well as the ‘office junior’ tasks, I undertook a wide range of responsibilities producing marketing boards for new business presentations and exhibitions. I liaised with printers and designers and delivered a number of ‘last minute’ projects. On the marketing side, I liaised with the sales departments of newspapers, placing advertisements and organising delivery of copy. I sat in on strategy setting meetings and contributed to brain-storming sessions – with some of my suggestions being accepted. Again, I attended client meetings as an observer.

I worked at Green Issues Communications, at that time one of the top 50 public relations companies in the UK. My duties were varied and as well as ‘tea making’ and ‘mail opening’, the company gave me meaningful responsibilities. As the firm specialised in local government political liaison, I researched – using the web - local councils and their composition, community and action groups and produced initial reports. I also scanned newspapers for client-related stories and looked for new business opportunities producing reports on these. I became familiar with database management and learned at first hand all Microsoft Office software. I had some first-hand dealings with clients and sat in on a number of meetings as an observer.
