Sample answer
“At Coca-Cola Mexico, I led a summer campaign focused on promoting our new beverage line. We targeted millennials through social media and influencer partnerships. The campaign generated a 150% increase in social media engagement and led to a 30% rise in sales during the season. Reflecting on this, I learned the importance of real-time engagement with our audience, which we implemented in subsequent campaigns.”
