What marketing strategy do you think should take priority.
I recently interviewed for an Account Executive role with Dentsu. The process included an initial interview focused on my background, communication skills and interest in media. I was then invited to a second stage interview where I completed and presented a campaign brief. The interviewers were professional, welcoming and engaged throughout. They asked thoughtful follow up questions around strategy, budgeting, client management and performance measurement. Overall, the process felt organised, fair and gave a clear understanding of the role and expectations.
