The brief

Plan a launch budget

We launch in Germany next month with €50k. Using our positioning, last year’s UK campaign results and three competitor sites, decide where the money goes, in five lines for the CMO, and write the launch email.

Then do the same for France with €30k.

Questions about testing marketers’ AI skills

Is this for growth marketers or product marketers?

Both. The task mixes where the budget goes and the launch email, which one person does at most growing companies.

Do candidates need ad platform access?

No. Everything they need is in the files: the positioning, last year’s results and the competitor pages.

Can we use our own launch?

Yes. Bring your own task and we set it up with you, with the places where AI tends to go wrong and the scoring sheet.
