Case Interview Question for Deloitte Canada Customer and Marketing

Best answer
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.
Best,
Antonello
