Commercial traineeship

A lot of different marketing departments come together within the Commercial traineeship. You can think of assignments like Shopper Marketing, Business Development or Brand Management. As a commercial trainee you will work with both, international and national clients. FrieslandCampina does not only have iconic B2C brands such as Campina and Chocomel, a big part of our business is in the B2B market. In our Commercial traineeship our aim is to give you the opportunity to experience both a B2B and B2C assignment. This way you get to experience both sides of the FrieslandCampina business in just two years!

Examples of assignments

Content

Shopper Marketing- Drinks category
If you get an assignment as shopper marketeer in the drinks category, your responsibility is to ensure that the drinks category grows at Dutch retailers by influencing consumers on the shop floor. You could think of organising sales promotions or coordinating the creation of new POS materials. In this assignment you work together with internal marketing and sales departments of FrieslandCampina and external advertising- and artwork agencies.

Distributor Excellence
In this assignment you could be working on a digital project in the Sales department (B2B). Besides selling our products to direct customers, we also sell to distributors across the world. Distributors buy many FrieslandCampina products and sell these to their end-customers locally. Over the last 3 years, a digital platform called “Distributor Connect” has been built to improve our way of working with distributors. Distributors can log in to the platform and get direct access to a lot of important information they can directly download and use, which is very efficient for them as well as for FrieslandCampina. In addition to that, we also require the distributor to provide us with relevant information to get useful insights in the business and to have continuous dialogues, in order to improve the business together.
