Key learnings from this experience include: -The importance of pricing strategies in consumer decision-making. -Effective product placement and promotional tactics in driving sales. -The value of direct retailer feedback in shaping sales strategies. A special thank you to my mentor and the entire Mondelez team for their guidance and support. This experience has significantly enriched my understanding of the sales and marketing domain and has prepared me for future challenges in my career. #Internship #Sales #Learning #MondelezInternational #Retail #MarketAnalysis

🚀 Upon reflecting on my past year of experiences, I wanted to highlight a recent project I had the privilege of working on through PepsiCo’s One Chicago Learnship! (An opportunity to take part in an internal internship, alongside your current role, on a live project from different disciplines across PepsiCo). Over a 5 month period, I worked under Molly George on the Sam’s Club E-commerce Marketing team. I contributed to developing a comprehensive .com playbookfor new brand launches, leveraging effective tactics to drive member awareness and engagement on site. This experience has been instrumental in sharpening my skills in digital marketing and e-commerce. 💡 Key Takeaways: - Gained a strong foundation in digital marketing fundamentals, exploring strategies to engage and convert consumers. - Learned to apply various site marketing tactics to encourage purchases and build meaningful customer connections. - Strengthened my ability to measure marketing performance through analytics and insights, ensuring continuous optimization. It was incredibly rewarding to see how impactful a well-executed strategy can be in building awareness and driving measurable results. Looking forward to applying these skills to future projects! 🌟 #DigitalMarketing #ECommerce #Analytics #MarketingStrategy

Firsthand Revelations and Thoughts during the second week of my Internship: 1. Knowing how to ask questions is an art. There's a lot of difference between asking "Do you like our product?" and "How do you like our product?" Unless we have established it to a certain degree that the respondent likes our product to some extent, we might not get an accurate answer to the latter as it might create a pressure of answering even if there's nothing they like about it. 2. I used to think, "Why should I smile looking at someone I don't know?" No. Smile always works. A "Hello" smile. ALWAYS. 3. I wonder if we are all associating purple color with chocolate. What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you see a purple color packet? If that's Dairy Milk by Cadbury UK then imagine how successfully they have positioned their products in our minds (like it happens to me! Also because I love eating chocolates). 4. Retail stores are an important part of our grocery shopping routine. So much that, when we think of "buying", we think of the scenario of asking for the product in the retail store in our minds. How long until there's change in this 'autopilot' thought? 5. I spoke to few people who belong to the 'Millennials' category who described the below package as 'Clumsy-ish' which, the 'Gen Z' referred to as 'Attractive'. So, is Millenial's 'Clumsy' attractive to Gen Z? If you have anything to share about what I am thinking, you are welcome! #Thoughts #MyLearnings #SummerInternship #ConsumerBehavior #SalesAndMarketing

🚨 Why did I work in the Food Industry? Let's set the record straight: Working in the food industry wasn't initially on my career radar. 🤷♀️ Here's the backstory: ⬇ To fulfill the requirements of my business school in France, I needed to complete a minimum 6-month marketing internship. Initially, I aimed for roles in the sports or luxury sectors. But life had other plans, leading me to an internship in the food industry. And you know what? I LOVED IT! 🙌 As a self-proclaimed foodie, I've always been intrigued by the intricacies of food production. There's something exhilarating about witnessing the journey of the food we consume daily. From bustling innovation labs to bustling factories, packaging facilities to raw material suppliers. I've experienced it all! And that's how my journey in the food industry began. 🤘 What was it like for you? Did you do what you thought you would?

P&G Summer Internship - 10 weeks of learning about BRAND BUILDING Last Friday was my last day at Procter & Gamble as a Brand Management Intern for PANTENE. This wasn’t my first internship, but it was my first in Brand Management—a field I've always been passionate about. So, this internship is a pretty big milestone for me. The amount I’ve learned in these 10 weeks is something I couldn’t have found anywhere else. Here are some key takeaways: 1. Start with the WHO, not the HOW: It's all about understanding our consumers. Everything we do should be grounded in their needs, wants, and behaviors. 2. Category analysis isn't the ultimate guide: Sustainable growth comes from driving category growth based on consumer insights, not just following what the market is doing. 3. Be smart with data: Use impactful, actionable data points instead of overwhelming stakeholders with too much information. Beyond the learning, what makes me want to come back here someday are the amazing people I got to work with. Huge thanks to my line manager Jarred Wong, my buddy Nutchaya Kootiratrakarn, and the supportive HR team Siew Ying Yeo, Ming Yi Gui, and Kai En Teoh. #fmcg #brandmanagement #beauty
