Hi,

The interviews are less structured and you should expect anything. 

The overall approaches should be the same, but I recommend brushing up the key concepts important in marketing:

1) Analyzing the situation

  • Customers
  • Company
  • Collaborators
  • Competition
  • Context

2) Developing the marketing strategy

Product

  • Existing product - add / delete features
  • Product line - trade down / trade up / horizontal
  • New product - differentiation from competitors / new target customer
  • Creating the new market - build primary / secondary demand

Place

  • Go-to-market strategy
  • Demands & channel design/management
  • Balance of conflict & cooperation

Pricing

  • Price Sensitivity of Customers
  • Economic value / perceived value / willingness to pay
  • Competitors pricing
  • Costs + desired margins
  • Price Customization

Promotion

  • Target Market
  • Mission (objective of communication)
  • Message
  • Media
  • Money: Marketing spend
  • Measurement: Investment & ROI

Best!

It depends on the interviewer. If she's a former MBB/tier2 consultants it's likely she's going to assess you with a standard business case. Otherwise, a marketing case will be more likely.
