STUDENT STORY

MEET SNEHA

Sneha secured a paid placement with Self Storage Tameside as part of her MSc Digital Marketing programme.

The Salford Experience

My course is covered over five modules, Digital Marketing and Data Analytics, Online and Offline Consumer Behaviour, Integrated Marketing Communication, Search and Social Media Management and the final module which makes the University of Salford stand apart from its competitors is the Industry Collaboration Project. The Industry Collaboration Project allows you to complete a paid placement as part of your final module. This course doesn’t focus on just one area of the business and hence I will have exposure to all the segments of Digital Marketing.

My Placement Experience

I am placed with Self Storage Tameside as a Digital Marketing Intern managing two of their important websites. Having found a paid placement during a pandemic and in my area of interest is more than what I could ask for and it is the University of Salford’s careers team that I have to thank. Right from reviewing my CV to sending it to prospective employers, setting up interviews, taking feedback, to all the guidance and help that the careers team has provided is commendable.

Placement Highlights

I get to use the best in class Digital Marketing tools. I have a daily meeting with the owner of the company where we go through the tasks of the day, look at what revenue we have made and tweak the strategies we have for the next day. My usual day at work is busy with writing blog posts, creating new webpages, managing the website content, PPC and more. I enjoy going to work and taking on new challenges. There are plenty of people out there who absolutely love their careers, and today, I can proudly say I am one of them!

Moulded for the Job Market

Writing assignments, working in groups, writing blog posts, researching on topics have all helped me develop my skills. The course has helped me enhance and apply my skills such as time - management, decision - making, planning and organising projects and group work, which is an essential part of being an extraordinary employee in today’s competitive job market. After having this placement and gaining the knowledge and experience with the help of my supervisors, I’m sure life after university is going to be a fun ride. I would encourage and recommend the University of Salford to any and everybody who truly values being a part of a splendid community and would love to experience togetherness. The university is my home and could be yours too!
