🌟 It’s hard to believe my placement year at Unilever has come to an end! Time really does fly when you’re having fun. 🌟 Working with the Dirt Is Good digital, design, and social team over the past year has been such a rewarding experience. I’ve had the opportunity to manage million-euro budgets, lead the Brand DNAi video, organise internal events, host influencers and press in the DIG Arsenal box, attend campaign shoots, and so much more. Contributing to our It Starts Outside campaign, which earned a Bronze and Silver at Cannes Lions, was such a special way to round off the year. 🦁 I’m so lucky to have worked with such an amazing team over this past year: Saffron Inkster, Ricardo Zampol, Grace Zhiamin, Ritika Jalota, Isabelle Bowe, Millie Cooper, Charlie Megson, and Asim Ahmed, as well as the wider DIG team. A special thank you to Holly Hetherington for always believing in me. Thank you for your endless support, trust in me, and everything you’ve taught me along the way. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunities you’ve given me to grow and challenge myself this year. I’d also like to thank all the talented agencies and colleagues across functions at Unilever I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the year. 🎓 Whilst it’s the end of an unforgettable year, it’s also the beginning of an exciting new chapter. I’m looking forward to returning to Newcastle University for my final year, bringing with me the skills, experiences and memories that will stay with me.
