The questions to expect
Tell me about a campaign or event you helped deliver from start to finish. What was your part?
Uni society, placement or side project all count at this level. Be precise about YOUR tasks and put one number in the result.
Describe a piece of content you created that you're proud of. How did you know it worked?
Bring the piece if you can. Name the audience it was for and the metric that proved it landed — views, sign-ups, replies.
Tell me about a time you used data to improve a campaign or a piece of content.
Small is fine: an email subject line test, a post timing change. Show the before/after numbers and what you did because of them.
Tell me about coordinating several people — designers, agencies, managers — to hit a marketing deadline.
Show the mechanics: the checklist, the chasing, the status updates. Reliable coordination is most of this job — prove you enjoy it.
Which marketing channels have you worked with hands-on, and which tools did you use day to day?
Be honest about depth: 'ran' vs 'assisted with'. Name real tools (Canva, Mailchimp, GA4, Meta Ads) and one thing you can do unsupervised.
How do marketing and sales relate to each other, and how would you support the sales team in this role?
Marketing creates demand and qualifies interest; sales converts it. Mention practical support: leads, collateral, case studies, event follow-up.
If we asked you to help launch a new product next month, what would your plan look like?
Structure beats brilliance: audience, message, channels, timeline, measurement. Ask one clarifying question before you begin — it reads as senior.
Why marketing — and which part of it do you want to build your career in?
Name a genuine pull (creativity plus measurability is a good one) and a direction — content, digital, brand — that this role plausibly feeds.
How do you use AI tools in your marketing work — drafting, research, reporting — and how do you check the output?2026
Name tools and one real task they speed up, then the check you always run. Fluency with judgement beats either alone.
Walk me through a campaign you ran end to end — objective, audience, channels, and what the results were.
One campaign, told tight: the goal as a number, your specific role, and the result against target. Have the follow-up detail ready — they will dig.
How would you describe our current marketing — and what would you change first?
Do the homework: their socials, ads, emails, site. Praise something specific, then one respectful, concrete improvement with a reason.
How do you judge whether marketing activity is actually working? Which metrics do you ignore?
Tie metrics to business outcomes — leads, revenue, retention — and name a vanity metric you deliberately don't chase. That's the judgement they're buying.
