Corporate Communications Specialist Interview Questions & Answers

In my current position I was appointed the lead of a project in which we were marketing a client’s newest product. Since it was a digital program, I thought it would be best to do heavy social media marketing. After brainstorming with my team, we came up with the marketing concept and tested it on a select online test group. The test was a success, so we then began the full scale marketing campaign. I designated the various aspects of the project to different team members according to their strengths and oversaw the full implementation of the campaign until the end. The product was well-received in the target market, and is still heavily utilized today.

I believe that organization is key, so first and foremost I make sure to keep each account separate and all paperwork in order. Second, each day I evaluate my workload and order it according to overall priority. I also understand the importance of utilizing my team, and I delegate work out to different members. However, I am also careful not to put my work off on others, but I make sure they are completely prepared to complete the work and help out whenever possible.

I have a few different skills that I utilize, but listening and communicating are the most critical. You not only need to be a good speaker, you also need to be able to listen to be able to fully understand an issue and to be able to properly articulate it to others. Problem solving is also an important skill I utilize in my efforts. I have found that when I am able to resolve smaller issues myself, it frees up the team to be able to focus on greater issues and ultimately helps to increase efficiency in completion of the project.

In today’s digital age I greatly enjoy social media marketing. It not only provides instant access to targeted audiences, it also provides a natural way to engage with those audiences. This helps to build trust, which is essential in effectively marketing a product. This particular platform also exposes you to various other audiences, which could become excellent target audiences. Such information is critical to the success of a campaign and proves to be quite invaluable. Social media is also great for its low cost and overall level of effectiveness and flexibility.

I am completely comfortable working with individuals with diverse backgrounds. Through my past positions I have worked with people of different cultures as well as different work experiences. Each individual is able to bring something unique to the table, which is a great help in creating new and dynamic campaigns. Also, people’s backgrounds help to develop their motives, and those motives help to drive the individual’s work performances. I have learned that when I understand and respect these factors, they can be used to advance the vision of the project.
