Employer Exchanges

 

Documented here are the exchanges I had with Rosie Attell, Martin Bellinghama and Megan Morris discussing my two-week work experience with AXA UK. For privacy the emails have been cut out of the following screenshots to support my emails.

 

Deciding on a team

The first thing I inquired about was what teams were a part of the marketing team. Once I received a reply I was able to decide which team I thought best suited my interests and I could get the most benefit out of working with.

The Insight and Brand teams were the ones who stood out the most to me. I really enjoy doing audience research. I like hearing about people’s opinions and enjoy researching market trends and what this could mean. That’s why I liked Insight. I also liked brand, because it’s an important to alter the brand image to order to fit the target audience.

Confirming placement

After explaining which teams I would like to spend my work experience observing, I received a confirmation email from Rosie. This also allowed me to be introduced to the people I would be working with during the placement. A slight modification was made a few days later, which was that I would be speaking to Megan Morris instead of Karen Robson.

Contacting the people I would be working for each week

After recieving confirmation I decided I should get in contact with the people I would be working with. I recieved an email from Martin before I could contact him.

 

Following this email we discussed the best locations for me to work in, and what I’d be doing on my placement. These details can be found in another blog post under the title Placement Information.

I did email Megan after responding to this email.

We had a phone call in December to discuss the team and what I’d like to do during the work experience. Again the final details can be found under Placement Information.
