But don’t just take our word for it, here’s a message from last year’s Placement student…

The 12-month placement with TopCashback in the Partnerships team gives you a great insight into the affiliate marketing industry from the publisher perspective, allowing you to develop your presentation skills, data analytical skills and explore new creative campaigns. My daily tasks within the team varied from presenting our media deck to clients or agencies/networks, negotiating cashback rates and exposure packages, analysis and monitoring brand performance, and presenting back these key metrics to clients. This is a great opportunity for someone interested in developing their communication, time management and networking skills. You receive full training from the partnerships team, and the chance to take on full responsibility for key tasks. I would really recommend joining the TopCashback Team!
