Work experience at RB Kew Gardens summer 2023

Daisy is funded by Techne DTP for her research on the craft of content creation and as part of her funding, she can undertake paid work placements to develop her career as part of a career enhancement programme.

Daisy reached out to Kew Gardens and a custom placement was made between the Economic Botany Collection and their Social Media Team, in the Digital Experience department.

Over three months, Daisy supported the making of content for Kew. She did a competitor analysis on collections content, developed a Kew collections strategy and delivered some collections content across X, Facebook, and Instagram. She then reviewed the content before leaving the placement. The time with Kew was short but life changing.
