Sample answer
“In my internship at a local advertising agency, I worked on a campaign for a new product launch. My role was to create visuals while collaborating with the copywriter and marketing team. We held daily check-ins to discuss progress and share feedback. Initially, we had differing opinions on the color palette, but through open discussions, we found a compromise that aligned with the brand's identity. The campaign was successful, increasing engagement by 30%. This experience taught me the value of clear communication in teamwork.”
