    My main project was to review and produce ideas to rejuvenate the company website. I produced an extensive report outlining the shortcomings of the current website and solutions to these, as well as a new website layout and content ideas. This was based on comprehensive market research and collaborating with other team members and departments. Alongside this, I aided with the creation of presentations for key events, such as the AGM, and I was responsible for keeping track of press releases within the pharmaceutical industry after key events.
