Marketing Intern
Johannesburg

Summary

My name is Vuyo Mbatha. I’ve been doing a Marketing internship at Famous Brands for 11 months. I am interested in becoming a Marketing Intern because I want to serve and add value in any way I can. I love to assist with conducting competitor reviews, assisting with writing digital newsletters, assisting with email campaigns, assisting with Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and so on. Anything that I may lack, I can make up for it through hard work, perseverance, and the best that I can be as a Marketing Intern. I am an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. My objective is to pursue full-time role that presents professional challenges and leverages interpersonal skills, effective time management, and problem-solving expertise.
