I started my work experience week on the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> August, and I was welcomed into the Mzuri family straight away. Katherine and Zoe made me feel comfortable and at home in their office, as did the whole team, and gave me a list of some interesting and enjoyable tasks that I could complete throughout the week. I got the opportunity to write a few potential blog entries for the Mzuri Design Blog, as well as being able to do some research on various aspects of marketing and design, such as typography. I was also able to sit in on a meeting that Katherine and Zoe had with their clients from Butserfest. At which point I was able to see how a real business meeting is carried out, which allowed me to see whether I would enjoy a career in marketing. Through this meeting, I have become more involved with Butserfest and am proud to say that I am the very first Busterfest Champion. I am very excited to attend and maybe even help out at the festival.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I enjoyed my work experience so much I even came back for more! I did just one more day on the 21<sup>st<\/sup> August at Mzuri. Before coming to Mzuri, I knew I wanted to go into business, but I did not know what branch I would be suited to. I had thought marketing may be a good fit for me and had also dabbled with the idea of accounting. Work experience at Mzuri has taught me that I definitely want a career in marketing. I may even return in five or so years\u2019 time asking for a job after university!<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for all your hard work Lucy.\u00a0We&#8217;re happy we&#8217;ve\u00a0inspired you and wish you lots of luck on your path to a career in marketing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our work experience placement describes her
