Customer & Channel Marketing Undergraduate Placement - B2B & Pro Photographer Camera Imaging

Join us as an intern on a 12-month industrial placement in the B2B & Pro Photographer Imaging Customer & Channel Marketing team, and discover the world of Canon, where we use imaging to transform our world. Here at Canon UK, we believe in creating an environment where our interns really can learn by “doing”, and where they are given ownership of their own areas of responsibility right from the start of their time with us. That’s why you’ll be treated as part of the team from day one, encouraged to bring your own ideas to the table – and given the opportunity to really show what you can do.

You’ll be gaining real life marketing experience, assuming real responsibility and making an impact from the get-go. For this fast-paced placement we are looking for customer minded individuals with a self-motivated approach to work, used to working in a high pressure, time sensitive environment with the ability to manage multiple projects and timelines simultaneously.

• Working towards your own objectives, you will be assigned specific tasks as well as defined projects to deliver, which will be based upon immediate business needs and strategic activity to support longer term goals.
• You will use your analytical skills to monitor the performance of activities and take appropriate action to provide solutions to problems and escalate issues as appropriate.
• Working as part of a team, you will support the delivery of events and exhibitions targeting both the B2B & Pro Photographer Imaging markets, where you will be assigned a specific role before, during and after the event, and be focused on ensuring successful outcomes.
• You will work directly with the B2B & Pro Photographer Imaging Sales teams and related sales channel partners to deliver planned activities and provide ad-hoc support.
• Working in collaboration with the Product, and PR & Communications teams, you will provide additional support to the wider marketing activities.
• Examples of areas you will experience: campaign activation, liaising with design and print agencies, events and exhibitions, photography workshops, incentive schemes, merchandise management, web content, customer communications, social media and more…!
