I had a the best opportunity on the 18th of June 2011 to be part of the (Direct Marketing Department) team for 45 days.
My job as the first task when I just came in was to read about Chartis and insurance to have a clear image.
My second task was to collect and analyze some data for the marketing project their been working on and I was part of that project and I worked productively, I specifically searched the other insurance companies in UAE and did some competitive analysis such as analyzing the companies by their products and services in tables and charts, I also did a customer analysis for some data they already had and rearrange it on excel which gave me a good information how data has been analyzed.
The third unforgettable task I ever did during that period was given to me by my manager he told me if I can handle a project that would be the first product ever done in Chartis, it was totally new good idea and I was very excited to take this opportunity, the task was about making a (discount coupons) for some restaurants, stores and kids places, this coupon will be given to the client with his first payment.
The Entertainer Company:
The coupon is a company specialist called ( The Entertainer) :The Entertainer is a boutique publishing company that was started in 2001 by Donna Benton, now Managing Director of the Entertainer. During the last 11 years, the Entertainer brand has stayed true to its simple buy one get one free philosophy, taking the brand from strength to strength, now boasting a portfolio of 14 books across 8 countries in the GCC and Cyprus. Each book contains hundreds of buy one get one free vouchers for restaurants, spas, leisure attractions and much more.
I specifically handle this project from the beginning, I sat up a meeting with Product manager at Entertainer with one of our team member Mr. Danish and I had the chance to go all the way with him to the meeting. Before the meeting date I prepared the presentation for the meeting explaining what Chartis exactly wants from Entertainer, we had a great meeting and the manager was very happy and pleased about what I did, when we came back from the meeting I also did in house presentation explaining the whole idea to the rest of the team about the project I’ve been working on but unfortunately things happened and the whole company was busy and by then it was time for us to leave Dubai. But they told me I should be proud about what I did because it is hard to get a meeting that fast with the right person to deal with, it has been a good work and I should mention this in my CV and share this experience with everyone.
At the end working at this company especially in the marketing department made me enrich my marketing skills, communication skills and made love to be active and improve myself within one team one family!
Thank You Chartis Thank You LoYAC.
