My internship period was all about learning the strategic planning for brands, some of them were giant brands like Coca-Cola, sprite, Airtel, Pepsodent etc.
Firstly I saw whatever they were doing with those brands, then I started helping them, last phase in my internship I started making my own planning for brands, of course my supervisors helped me to perfection or close to perfection of the planning.
