Maxus Global - Adam Miller

I just started my fourth week here at Maxus Global UK. The time has flown by while working on several projects. The fast pace of work in the agency keeps things exciting. I work on the Fiat Digital team which deals with advertising for Fiat, Jeep, and Maserati. My co-workers have kept me very involved in their work with Fiat. My team helps clients get their advertisements, specifically digital ones, online for the consumer to see. From there, the team creates reports on who’s clicking on them and whether they are actually in the market for a car through data analysis. I have mainly been working on these reports (using Excel more than I thought was possible) and analysing the results.

 

The agency does a good job of making sure employees are enjoying their work while still working hard. This week is ‘Battle of the sides’-a week long competition to see which half of the building is better at small games such as chubby bunny, eating contests, or putting competitions. The blue team consists of all the GLS interns and we are winning by a landslide. Shout out to Elizabeth for her winning cookies today!

 

Overall, I have learned a great deal in just four weeks of working at Maxus. One big thing I have learned about is cultural differences. On my team there are over nine countries represented including Australia, New Zealand, Greece, South Africa, France, and the UK. Working with these people everyday is a great opportunity to ask about their stories and hear how they ended up working in London. I have also had my BA242 (Excel) skills tested daily through many reports and cost records. While I’ve found it hard to sit down for eight hours a day, I couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity to learn about international business.
