Associate Account Planner at Digitas
No Offer – Interviewed in Boston, MA Mar 2013 – Reviewed Apr 20, 2013
Interview Details –
I applied through my campus online portal, had an initial phone interview and then had 4 separate 30 min. interviews with different account planners in the Boston office.
Everyone was very nice and friendly but 2 of them barely read my resume beforehand and were not at all prepared to interview me.
In general they asked a little bit about my background/resume etc. and also asked questions to better understand how I think and approach problems.
Interview Question – I had lengthy discussion about a brand that I liked and then had to chose a brand in the same category that I believed was weak and why. From there I had to give recommendations on how I would change this brand's current strategy. The question was completely fair as it was trying to reveal how I think. That being said, since I don't spend a lot of time thinking about brands I don't like, I had trouble articulating why I didn't like this certain brand (especially because the category was so narrow).
