Sample answer
“During my internship at a local marketing agency, I analyzed the performance of a social media campaign aimed at promoting a new product. By using Google Analytics and Excel, I tracked engagement metrics and found that posts made during peak hours had a 30% higher engagement rate. I presented these findings to the team, leading to a revised posting schedule that increased overall campaign engagement by 25%. This experience taught me the value of data-driven decision-making in marketing.”
