Sample Answer
While launching a rebrand, marketing pushed back on removing a legacy mascot that they felt drove recall. I didn’t dig in defensively — I scheduled a 60-minute session with marketing, product, and analytics to surface the concern. We reviewed metrics: the mascot drove 8% of organic social mentions but correlated with 18% lower sign-up clarity on the landing page. I proposed a compromise: retire the mascot from conversion flows but keep it in awareness channels with refreshed art and a clear usage guideline. We measured results over eight weeks: landing conversion improved 14% and social engagement held steady at -1%, and the team appreciated the data-backed tradeoff and shared ownership of the outcome.
