Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

Behavioral

Tell me about a school project or past job where you had to jump into a tool or platform you'd never used before and figure it out fast. What did you do?

whether the candidate can self-teach quickly given the range of unfamiliar platforms listed, like DAM, PIM, and marketing automation

Have you ever done a competitive analysis or benchmarking exercise, even for a class assignment? What did you compare and what did you conclude?

actual exposure to structured competitor research versus casual browsing

Tell me about a time you had to gather information or assets from several different people or departments to finish something. How did you keep it moving?

ability to chase down inputs from busy stakeholders without direct authority over them

What draws you to marine or outdoor recreation marketing specifically, versus any other consumer brand?

genuine interest in the industry versus applying to any internship available

Tell me about a time you got feedback on written or visual work that you didn't agree with. What did you do?

coachability and how they handle direction from people with more experience

Technical

What do you know about SEO, and can you give an example of how you'd apply it to a product page for something like an outboard engine?

baseline technical knowledge of SEO and whether they can connect it to a real product context rather than recite definitions

What's your comfort level with Excel and PowerPoint, and can you describe something you've built in each?

concrete proof of stated software skills rather than a checkbox answer

Have you used a CRM, a website content management system, or scheduled posts on a social platform before? Which ones, and what did you do with them?

how much hands-on digital marketing tool experience exists versus classroom-only exposure

Situational

Walk me through how you'd approach auditing a brand's social media accounts if I handed you five channels and said clean them up.

whether they understand what a content audit actually involves, not just that they've heard the term

Say marketing, product, and sales teams all ask you for different assets by end of day and you can't finish everything. How do you decide what gets done first?

prioritization skills and comfort pushing back or communicating trade-offs in a fast-paced environment

If you found an outdated or off-brand post on one of Mercury's social accounts, what would you do about it?

judgment about brand consistency and whether they'd escalate or fix without approval

How would you go about researching best practices for something you know nothing about, say influencer content vetting, before making a recommendation to your team?

research instincts and whether they'd guess versus investigate before advising
