Heather Dyett

I supported the award-winning Agency for Change through meetings with clients, briefings and problem solving on the marketing team. My main tasks included contacting clients, arranging workshops, conducting market research and reporting to the Creative Director.

As part of the Startup Weekend Ghent 2014 committee, I worked within a team to plan, sponsor and advertise this entrepreneurial, educational event. My top responsibilities included designing and printing the advertising material for this weekend, acquiring sponsors and generally making sure the day was executed well. Through my endeavours, the event gained another well-qualified instructor for marketing and business modelling.

Three days’ work experience at this leading branding agency gave me a brief insight to the professional world of marketing and advertising. Here I discovered the art of multi-project-working and found that the diversity of challenges associated with the various tasks to be very rewarding. I also developed a particular interest towards experiential marketing.

For three weeks I worked in this supermarket as a cashier, shelf-stacker, and generally helping to set up the shop before opening hours. This also involved working together with colleagues to get things done quickly and dealing with customers. I learnt to keep my cool with and be polite to difficult customers.
