IntermediateLEADERSHIP
Think of a recent campaign or content series you owned that performed noticeably better than your usual benchmarks. How did you set goals, coordinate with designers or other collaborators, and use performance results to inform what you or the team did next?

Sample Answer

Last year I led a three‑month content series around a new product line that ended up outperforming our usual benchmarks by a wide margin. Our average campaign CTR was about 1.8%; for this one, I set a clear goal of hitting 3% CTR and a 20% lift in demo requests. I started by pulling 12 months of content data to see which angles and formats had historically driven the most conversions, then built a weekly content calendar around those insights. I met with our designer and lifecycle marketer twice a week to align copy, visuals, and email timing. We used a shared brief for each asset so everyone understood the audience, key message, and KPI. Mid‑campaign, I noticed carousels on LinkedIn were driving 2.5x more demos than single images, so we quickly shifted more budget and creative toward that format. By the end, we hit a 3.6% CTR and a 28% increase in demo requests, and we rolled those learnings into our next two launches.
