3/3

 Hi everyone!

I have now had my last day on my internship and its been an amazing experience and I have learned so much during these past weeks. Since i last wrote i was in the newsletter team and took part in meetings regarding the automatic newsletter that the customer will get once they sign up. I have also done an external analysis to see how other competitors are presenting their newsletter on site and how they are structured. Then I also did an external analysis of customer loyalty which i thought was super interesting to deep dive in. Other things that have happened since last time i wrote is that its been a summerparty at the office with flowers as a theme. Sweden as always lived up to its reputation and the rain was pouring, but the party was fun anyway. The last weeks i spent with the growth team where i have gathered information about facebook ads and found statistics on different search words for example. 

Hope you'll have a great summer and I will see you again in the fall :D

IFS_ Blog-post_ FT Alliance (3/3)

 Hey Everyone

Here is my last blog on very last day of field study. Hope, you guys enjoyed your last few days of field studies. I was really busy for last couple of weeks for having interviews for my project. 

As you know, my topic was traceability for circularity of textiles, at the end of the project, I must say, it is a matter of concern regarding in what extent fashion brands are realizing the importance of traceability for recycling textiles. Even though, some brands already started practicing, but this is all for consumer perspective, ignoring the requirement on further stages of product life cycle.

Anyway, I have been writing my report and working on presentation as well.

Hope to see you guys on next period.

RAI - FTA Internship (3/3)

Hey guys !

This is already my last Blogspot entry for the field study. Although the last weeks were a little hectic and busy, it went by even quicker. We have further strengthen and extended the research. By analysing the gathered dataset of related tweets from Twitter with a LDA topic model analysis and a following semantic analysis, I could make up prevailing topics in the dataset and analyse these based on their semantic. This showed interesting results, which sometime are very much in contrast to current literature.

I have to say besides the unfortunate change of research methodology throughout the project, I have learned a lot about working and analysing large datasets in Python and I am very thankful to Vijay who helped me a lot on the entire project, even with the stupidest questions.

We will be presenting the outcome of our research in the next week in Stockholm and will participate in a research conference hosted by the FT Alliance in September this year.

Now I am doing my finishing touches for the report and presentation and are looking much forward to the Summer break.

I hope you all had a great last period of your field study and enjoy your summer !

See you in fall for the third term.

All the best,

Fabian

The last week of my internship (post 3/3)

 Dear Classmates,


The internship is coming to an end and this will be my final post here. In my last post, I mentioned that I was working on creating a sustainability page for the company. This has been very fun and interesting, as I have gained a lot of knowledge about how a company can work with sustainability in the textile industry. From a creative perspective, it has been a lot of fun because I have been able to freely design and come up with ideas of how the page should look graphically. In addition to this, I was able to use knowledge that I have gained from the program to write the content on the page. The sustainability page is now finished and is scheduled to be uploaded on the website of Newbody Family at the end of this week. If you wish to see the final results, you can visit the company website!


Lastly, I would like to mention that I have truly enjoyed my internship at Newbody Family. My internship position allowed me to experience and understand the tasks and activities of different departments as well as how the departments work together. I believe that this will be my biggest takeaway from my time here, as it provided me with a broad understanding of how a company in the textile industry operates instead of just understanding one department.


Wish you all a great summer and I hope to see you in autumn!


All the best,


Andrea
