How to use this page

Don't memorise answers. For each question, read what the interviewer is looking for, then practise answering out loud in your own words with a real example. The notes describe strong answers and common red flags — they are for your prep, not a script.

Data Analysis

3 questions

  1. A campaign's conversions dropped this week. Walk me through how you find out why.

    Advanced

    What the interviewer is looking for: Strong answers check tracking first, then segment by channel, device, and audience to isolate the drop before concluding. Reporting the drop as real without validating tracking is a red flag.

  2. How would you present a recommendation to cut a channel that a senior marketer champions?

    Advanced

    What the interviewer is looking for: Look for evidence-led framing, acknowledging their perspective, and proposing a test rather than a blunt kill. Presenting data with no recommendation, or ignoring politics entirely, are red flags.

  3. How do you handle conflicting numbers between two reporting tools?

    Intermediate

    What the interviewer is looking for: Strong candidates reconcile definitions, timezones, and filters before trusting either, and document the source of truth. Picking whichever number tells the nicer story is a red flag.

Google Analytics

1 question

  1. Which Google Analytics metrics do you trust for judging campaign quality, and which do you distrust?

    Intermediate

    What the interviewer is looking for: Look for valuing conversions and engaged sessions over raw traffic and bounce rate in isolation, plus awareness of attribution limits. Treating sessions as success is a red flag.

Attribution Modeling

1 question

  1. How do you decide on an attribution model, and what are the trade-offs?

    Advanced

    What the interviewer is looking for: Strong candidates explain last-touch versus multi-touch, and that no model is perfect, choosing based on the buying journey. Believing any single model is 'the truth' is a red flag.

SQL

1 question

  1. Write a query to pull spend and conversions by channel for last month. What would you check?

    Intermediate

    What the interviewer is looking for: Look for correct joins and aggregation, handling the date range, and validating totals against a source. Not being able to write a basic aggregation is a red flag for an analyst.

Data Visualization

1 question

  1. How do you turn a messy multi-channel dataset into a clear picture for marketers?

    Intermediate

    What the interviewer is looking for: Strong answers pick visuals that match the decision, keep it clean, and lead with the insight. Dense dashboards with no clear takeaway are a red flag.

A/B Testing

1 question

  1. Design an A/B test for an email subject line. How do you know the winner is real?

    Advanced

    What the interviewer is looking for: Look for one variable, adequate sample size, and statistical significance before calling it. Declaring a winner after a few hours is a red flag.

Statistical Analysis

1 question

  1. A stakeholder says 'the average customer spends X.' Why might that mislead the strategy?

    Intermediate

    What the interviewer is looking for: Strong candidates raise skew and segments, preferring medians or cohort views. Trusting a single average without checking the distribution is a red flag.

Campaign Management

1 question

  1. How do you connect campaign performance data back to actual business revenue?

    Advanced

    What the interviewer is looking for: Look for tying spend to pipeline and revenue, ROAS/CAC thinking, and honest caveats. Reporting only top-of-funnel metrics with no revenue link is a red flag.

Market Research

1 question

  1. How do you use market research to inform where the marketing budget should go?

    Intermediate

    What the interviewer is looking for: Strong answers combine quantitative and qualitative signals about the audience and competitors to guide allocation. Ignoring research in favour of internal opinions is a red flag.

Power BI

1 question

  1. How would you use Power BI or Tableau to build a marketing dashboard people actually use?

    Intermediate

    What the interviewer is looking for: Strong answers design around the decisions the audience makes, keep it focused, and make it self-serve. A cluttered dashboard with every metric is a red flag.

Conversion Rate Optimization

1 question

  1. How do you approach conversion rate optimisation on a key page?

    Advanced

    What the interviewer is looking for: Look for finding friction with data and user behaviour, hypothesising, and testing rather than guessing at redesigns. Redesigning on opinion with no testing is a red flag.

Behavioural & role-general

2 questions

  1. Tell me about an analysis that changed a marketing decision. What was the impact?

    Basic

    What the interviewer is looking for: Look for a concrete decision changed and a measurable result, with clear ownership. Vague contributions with no outcome are a red flag.

  2. How do you make sure the marketing team actually acts on your insights?

    Basic

    What the interviewer is looking for: Strong answers translate data into clear recommendations, tailor communication, and follow up on decisions. Delivering reports nobody uses is a red flag.
