Meet Mohammed Aizam! He is a student from Nanyang

Meet Mohammed Aizam! He is a student from Nanyang Polytechnic’s School of Business Management – Diploma in Business Management, specialising in International Business and E-Commerce & Retail Management. He is currently interning at 247 Group, a social-commerce company in Shanghai!

As a Marketing Generalist in the English Language Marketing & Data department, I have had the opportunity to work on countless different things. For example, I spearhead and run the day to day operations of over 1000 WeChat groups (that’s approximately 85,000 group chat members in total), implement new marketing strategies for our online store and also work behind the scenes to make it happen.

I report directly to my COO, who works very closely with me and gives me the flexibility to implement my thoughts, solutions, and ideas – which has given me the room to grow. This trust he has placed in me has also empowered me to want to do more, as I seek to experiment with new ideas and strategies based on the data we have to see how else we can increase member engagement and revenue.

I have a myriad of opportunities here at 247 – aside from being involved in the daily operations, my COO has also empowered me to mentor other interns in the Marketing department. We work closely together on various Marketing projects daily.

Honestly, a remote internship in an overseas start-up has been eye-opening. You get to work with a diverse group of people - my colleagues come from the UK, Canada, and all-around China. It initially felt overwhelming – but I’m thankful to have their support, along with the support from both my lecturers and mentors at both NYP and NP.
