About the role
A junior brand strategist helps teams understand the market, audience and problem before creative work begins. The interview explores how you research, challenge assumptions and shape a focused proposition. Strong answers connect evidence to a practical direction instead of filling slides with trends and terminology.
How to prepare
- Choose two campaigns and identify the audience tension, brand role and response each appears designed to create.
- Practise separating a fact, an observation and a consumer insight.
- Review simple methods for competitor analysis, desk research, interviews and surveys.
- Prepare an example of finding a pattern in messy information and explaining its importance.
- Build a short argument from business problem to audience insight to strategic proposition.
Common mistakes
- Calling a broad demographic fact a consumer insight.
- Starting with a campaign idea before defining the business and audience problem.
- Using trends as proof without checking the quality or relevance of the source.
- Presenting a long analysis with no clear strategic choice.
