Question 1
It was a first round interview. Firstly, you have to pick an item from the store, later when you interduce yourself you have to tell the group why did you choose that particular item. Secondly, the group was divided into two smaller groups and the task was that: You have to help the marketing team to figure out what kind of items should be presented during the marketing champagne for males at the age of 25-35 who are into extreme sports and they don't have budget limitations. You have to come up with a plan, to figure out the items we should promote in the champagne. Later on, the groups have to present their ideas and the other group have to react to their ideas.
