Sample interview questions
I would first clarify the commercial objective, target audience, products, timing, budget, and measurement framework. I would then select the appropriate channels and ad formats, establish KPIs and benchmarks, build a budget and bidding plan, and set a reporting cadence that links campaign metrics to the client's business outcome.
I start by validating tracking, campaign setup, inventory availability, and the intended KPI. I segment results by channel, audience, product, creative, placement, search term, and device to identify the constraint, then test targeted changes to bids, budgets, targeting, creatives, and product selection. I document results and communicate both actions and expected trade-offs to the client.
I would assess delivery and efficiency metrics such as spend pacing, impressions, click-through rate, conversion rate, CPC, CPA, ROAS, and revenue, alongside share of voice or search coverage where available. I would also examine incrementality, new-to-brand performance, product availability, attribution limitations, and trends over time to provide a complete view of channel health.
I prioritize work based on client impact, spend risk, deadlines, and the opportunity to improve performance. I maintain account plans and recurring optimization routines, automate repeatable reporting where appropriate, and clearly communicate dependencies and timelines with internal partners and clients. This creates room for proactive strategic work without missing urgent execution needs.
I use AI to accelerate tasks such as performance-data summarization, insight ideation, reporting drafts, and quality checks, while validating outputs against source data and platform policies. I avoid entering sensitive client information into unapproved tools and retain human ownership over recommendations, budget decisions, and client-facing conclusions.
