The questions to expect
Walk me through a digital strategy you built — how you chose channels, and what happened.
Start from the business goal, show the channel logic, end on results vs target. Strong answers include what you chose NOT to do.
Tell me about a time the numbers told you a campaign wasn't working. What did you change?
Name the metric, the threshold that triggered action, and the specific change. Speed of diagnosis is the impressive part.
Tell me about developing someone in your team — or getting genuinely better work out of an agency.
Managers are hired to multiply others. One person, what you spotted, what you did, and where they are now.
Describe a time you reallocated budget mid-quarter. What triggered it and what was the result?
Show the maths: what was underperforming by how much, where the money went, and the blended result. Own the trade-off out loud.
How do you approach attribution now that cookies and last-click are unreliable? What do you actually trust?
Honest answers win: triangulate platform data, GA4, and incrementality tests; hold conclusions loosely. Pretending attribution is solved reads as junior.
Which GA4 reports do you live in, and what's one insight they gave you recently?
Be concrete: a named report, a real observation, an action taken. This question exists to separate doers from delegators.
We give you £20k and 90 days to grow qualified leads. Where does it go, starting week one?
Ask about the audience and sales cycle first. Then: quick wins, a test budget, one bet — with numbers and a measurement plan.
Digital marketing reinvents itself every couple of years. What keeps you in it?
Tie the constant change to how you like to work — learning, testing, measurable wins. Name the last thing you taught yourself.
Which parts of your digital workflow have you automated or handed to AI — and where did it go wrong?2026
A specific workflow you built, iterated and QA'd beats a tool list. Including a failure you caught shows exactly the judgement they want.
How are you adapting search strategy for AI Overviews and generative engines?2026
Show you're tracking citations and brand visibility in AI answers, not mourning lost clicks. One experiment you've run makes it real.
Walk me through a campaign you ran end to end — objective, audience, channels, and what the results were.
One campaign, told tight: the goal as a number, your specific role, and the result against target. Have the follow-up detail ready — they will dig.
How would you describe our current marketing — and what would you change first?
Do the homework: their socials, ads, emails, site. Praise something specific, then one respectful, concrete improvement with a reason.
