Meet Emily Palmer: New Marketing Intern

Undergraduate student Emily Palmer began her journey at TMPR this February, becoming our newest Marketing Intern to join the team. Emily is currently in her final year of a BA Media and Communications Degree at Cardiff University and is looking to develop marketing skills to kick start her career.

Alongside her keen interest in marketing, Emily enjoys a variety of sports, including netball, cycling, swimming, and spends time organising social events for the Cardiff University JOMEC Netball Society. Sports aside, she’s a budding photographer too, developing creative and technical skills in her free time.

Enthusiastic to begin her internship with TMPR, we asked Emily about her aspirations within the industry and what she’s hoping to gain from this internship.

Here’s what she had to say…

“My A Level studies in Media piqued my interest early on, and from my time at Cardiff University, I’m now certain I would thrive within a marketing role. That’s why this programme seemed like the perfect fit for me. It allows me to learn more about working in this industry alongside my degree.

“The team here are all really welcoming and friendly, I felt very comfortable from the get-go. It’s really important for me to gain an insight into working in this industry before graduating – which is exactly what this internship is offering me! 

“It’s impressive how much the team at TMPR do. I find many aspects of their work both inspiring and interesting and I’m eager to learn from the experts at this agency. From this internship, I’d love to develop my writing skills, particularly around blog writing and press releases. Having previous experience in digital and social media marketing, I’m keen to delve into other aspects of marketing and PR too, such as print advertising and campaign analytics.

“My motivation to work in marketing came from my mum, who always spoke highly of her time working in the industry. Growing up hearing about the excitement of this profession encouraged me to pursue a career in this sector. This summer when I graduate, I hope to be able to secure a full-time role in marketing. 

“I cannot wait to get involved, to learn and grow from this experience – thank you so much to the team for giving me this opportunity.”
