13 titlesWhat the report looks like for Digital Marketing
- The situation in one sentence: where, what was short, and by how much.
- The decision that was yours rather than the team’s, and what you chose not to do.
- One number or one consequence that shows it worked.
Every competency is scored out of five with a line you actually said as evidence, and the weakest answers are rewritten as structure and specifics, never a script.
What Digital Marketing interviewers keep scoring
Paid media planning & optimisation
Plans, launches and optimises paid campaigns across search, social and programmatic: structures accounts, sets bids and budgets, tests creative and audiences and improves cost per result over time.
Analytics, tracking & attribution
Sets up and trusts measurement: tagging and conversion tracking, GA4 or equivalent, attribution models and their limits, and turns data into decisions rather than dashboards.
SEO & organic growth
Grows organic traffic and conversions: keyword and intent research, technical SEO fixes, content briefs, on-page optimisation and link or authority building, measured against rankings and traffic.
Conversion rate optimisation & experimentation
Improves the funnel after the click: analyses drop-off, forms hypotheses, runs A/B tests with valid design, and ships winners; understands statistical significance and sample size.
Email, CRM & lifecycle marketing
Builds automated lifecycle journeys (welcome, nurture, cart abandonment, retention) with segmentation, personalisation and consent compliance, measured on engagement and revenue.
Budget management & commercial accountability
Owns marketing spend as an investment: allocates across channels by return, forecasts results, reports honestly to finance and leadership, and cuts what does not work.
Campaign planning & cross-team collaboration
Plans integrated campaigns with clear objectives and audiences, briefs creative and content teams well, coordinates with sales and product, and delivers on time.
Research design & method selection
Translates a business or policy question into a research design with the right method (qualitative, quantitative, mixed, desk), sample and instruments, and can defend the choices.
Quantitative analysis & statistics
Analyses survey and market data rigorously: weighting, significance, segmentation and modelling, and avoids over-interpreting small or biased samples.
Qualitative research & insight extraction
Conducts interviews, focus groups or ethnography that surface real motivations, and synthesises findings into themes without cherry-picking quotes.
Market sizing & competitive intelligence
Builds defensible market estimates and competitive analyses from secondary sources, triangulation and expert input, stating assumptions and confidence explicitly.
Turning findings into actionable insight
Presents research as a clear story with implications and recommendations for the decision-maker, not a data dump, and handles challenge with evidence.
