I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Postcode Lottery (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Apr 2023
Interview
I was contacted by a recruitment consultant and had an initial chat with her before being asked to attend a meeting with the MD at their office in Edinburgh. The chat was fairly relaxed and I thought very balanced in terms of information provided by the MD about PPL and its future strategy. I was invited back for a second meeting this time with the MD, head of marketing and another marketing lead, this involved a task/presentation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
TASK:
Review the focus group outputs attached and using these consumer insights create a Campaign Brief to:
“Increase PPL brand consideration amongst these non-players”
to share and discuss with us at our in-person meeting.
In addition to the campaign brief please also choose one of the following to accompany it: either a Creative Brief OR a Media Brief.
Please come prepared to present the thinking which has fed into your Campaign Brief and how that in turn has informed either your Creative or Media brief.
In addition, please come prepared to discuss either an in or out of category example of a campaign or piece of comms that you think is strategically and/or creatively brilliant and why.
