Being young at Sony means a lot of opportunities and positive challenges. For me, working with Internal Communications provides an endless variety of tasks to develop my skills.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT SONY? I am in my second year of the Sony European Graduate Programme, working in the Category Business Management team. This is part of the product marketing department in Sony Mobile, based in London. WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE ASPIRATIONS? I have a hope that one day I can make a change to the world, even a tiny one. And I hope Sony could be the platform where I can make this change; like it has done with WALKMAN, PlayStation and plenty of other successful products, along with the amazing experiences and moments it has delivered to people. THE ONE THING I’VE LEARNT FROM SONY IS… Don’t settle for good, demand great!

WHAT DO YOU DO AT SONY? In summary, my job is to support sell-through and create marketing ROI and efficiencies across the CU. It’s quite a complex, diverse role with a broad variety of responsibilities. This includes product lifecycle management, customisation and exclusives, as well as product positioning.   WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT AT SONY SO FAR? In terms of numbers, it’s the three-fold increase of accessory sales in the aftermarket within one year. In terms of personal development, I received a permanent position as an Account Executive for one of the main accounts in the UK after being part of the EGP programme for only 15 months.   THE ONE THING I’VE LEARNT IS… Never accept “No” as the first answer, combined with a solution-oriented mindset.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT SONY? I'm a software developer in the Multimedia Create section. My daily work involves fixing bugs in the multimedia framework. I've also been involved in the research for a new feature, which included creating demo material in the form of Android applications to prove a concept. WHAT IS THE VIEW LIKE FROM YOUR DESK?

Sony’s Lund office is in the most northern part of the town. I work in an office landscape close to a window overlooking the highway and the construction of Lund’s new research facility MAX IV.

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT AT SONY SO FAR? I'm proud of the work I've done researching for the new feature. It’s been a lot of hard work but I’ve learnt several new skills.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT SONY? I am currently working in Sony Mobile as Account Executive for the Vodafone UK team.  My team and I are responsible for all Sales and Marketing activity with Vodafone, with the objective of driving Sony business with our key partner. One of my specific projects includes establishing the new Sony SmartWear portfolio within Vodafone and together developing compelling propositions for consumers. DESCRIBE WHAT A TYPICAL WORKING DAY AT SONY MOBILE IS LIKE. A typical week at Sony is varied and fast moving. Within the Sales and Marketing account teams the majority of your time is spent visiting partners to ensure the successful implementation of the next product and marketing executions. When you are not away delivering presentations and hosting key events your time is spent meeting with internal teams to plan and develop upcoming opportunities.
