Hey everyone!
The first of many… So you’ve got this far, now let’s see if I can hold your attention! My name is Dawn Woodhouse. I work as a Product Specialist in Advertising & Online, in London. I’ll be blogging with Jenny Stevens as a two-team, so I’ll take the floor with a quick introduction and then hand it over to Jenny.
Basically, I support my team in identifying advertising opportunities on MSN UK. I work as a go-between with trade marketing, research team, display operation managers, the editorial 
team… the list goes on! A lot of what we do as a team is about creating a positioning and telling a story, being strategic and striking a sales and product balance. Having been here since September 2011, my role is starting to pick up momentum and will be changing in some capacity, so watch this space for upcoming updates!
What do I love about working here? What don’t I love is more the question. The atmosphere, the people (and I honestly believe that people make a place), the autonomy in my work and the trust that your team and manager have in you to do your job and to do it well. You get as much out of it as you’re ready to put into it, and if you really want to achieve your full potential and become more than just a number, be ready to stand out and work hard.
But we know how to have fun as well, and whether you’re in London or Reading, there is plenty to get involved in at work, with your colleagues or being a tourist in your own city! And not forgetting our global cousins as well.
What excites me the most about being at Microsoft – It is dynamic, creative, innovative, sociable and fun! Everything you would want to be a part of.
Outside of work, I have an unhealthy penchant for video games, Fancie cupcakes (these cupcakes are the business) and travelling (so that’s where all my money goes…).
Be Your Future
