1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am currently on placement in Media Planning. My main jobs are scheduling pre-rolls (trailers that you see at the start of shows on BBC iPlayer) and making footers (basically ads on the BBC website that send you to different areas such as BBC Sounds). I am also involved in the marketing plan for an upcoming BBC Three show and BBC Three + BBC Radio paid social media marketing.
