Sample Answer
Situation: For a 6-week product launch, disparate teams risked inconsistent messaging and missed deadlines. Task: Align account leads, digital, and creative to deliver an integrated PR tactic that drove earned and owned reach. Action: I initiated a kickoff workshop, established a RACI matrix and a shared Asana calendar, and led weekly 30-minute syncs via Slack/Google Drive. I contributed a data-driven PR angle: packaged user-behavior insights from Google Analytics and qualitative quotes into a media-ready narrative and two A/B test creative briefs for digital ads. Result: Earned media impressions rose 60%, social engagement grew 45%, we secured 3 top-tier placements, and the launch completed 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
