Sample Answer

At my last company, I led the creative direction for a nationwide launch campaign for a new subscription feature. The brief was clear on business goals: increase trial starts by 25% and reduce CAC by 15% over the prior quarter. I started by reframing the brief into a simple creative promise: “try it in 5 minutes, feel the value in 5 days.” That became the thread across paid social, email, landing pages, in‑product banners, and partner placements. I ran a cross-functional pod of about 12 people (design, copy, performance, product marketing, lifecycle). We built modular assets with consistent visual language but channel-specific hooks and CTAs. For example, TikTok and Reels focused on use-cases; email and in‑product emphasized urgency and social proof. Post-launch, I set up a weekly dashboard: CTR, trial starts, CAC, and creative-level ROAS. After six weeks, we’d lifted trial starts by 32%, cut CAC by 18%, and identified three top-performing creative angles that we rolled into BAU always-on campaigns.
