I’m excited to announce a brand new marketing interview cheat sheet. It’s based on my #1 selling marketing interview prep book on Amazon.com: The Marketing Interview (previous titled as Rise Above the Noise).  

The cheat sheet covers indispensable frameworks for the most popular marketing case questions including:

• Marketing plans
• Go-to-market strategy
• ROI calculations
• Advertising critiques
• Dealing with PR disasters

It’s ideal for both traditional CPG / brand management roles  (think: Starbucks ☕, General Mills 🥐, Hershey 🍬) as well as tech marketing interviews (think: Google, Amazon, Facebook).  It’s also appropriate for general and product management candidates, who often get blind-sided with go-to-market questions.

Why Marketing Case Interview Prep Should Not Be Overlooked

Surprisingly, many candidates overlook marketing case interview prep. They assume that marketing interviews will not have case questions.  

That’s a dangerous assumption.  

Product management candidates make a similar mistake: assuming that marketing questions will not appear during the PM interview.  

Bad call.

Here’s why:

Over the last year, many Google PM candidates have howled how interviewers have “invented a new question type.” That supposedly new question type is nothing more than a go-to-market case interview question, covered in The Marketing Interview.

If I had a CPG or tech marketing interview, and I could only bring one cheat sheet…this one would be it.
