About the role
A brand assistant supports the detail behind campaigns, packaging, research and performance updates. Interviewers are looking for an organised early-career marketer who understands brand consistency, asks useful consumer questions and can coordinate feedback without losing deadlines or accuracy.
How to prepare
- Choose a familiar FMCG brand and explain its consumer, promise, pack and communication style.
- Review how a campaign brief moves through creative development, approval, production and launch.
- Prepare an example of organising a project with several contributors or deadlines.
- Practise separating consumer evidence from your personal taste when discussing creative work.
- Visit stores and compare the chosen brand with alternatives on pack, price and shelf presence.
Common mistakes
- Judging creative work only by whether you personally like it.
- Forgetting approvals, product claims and production details when discussing campaigns.
- Using broad consumer statements without explaining what evidence would support them.
