Tiny budget, big dream

Once when I worked in marketing an employer sent me a pre-interview test. It was a “hypothetical” scenario where a new fashion brand wanted to launch in Europe. I needed to put together a budget and proposal.

I budgeted to launch in Europe saying this brand would need to spend between £600k and £1m to get the kind of sales they wanted. Fashion is one of the most competitive environments.

In the interview the employer berated me for my budget estimates. It turns out this was a real client they had at the time, and the client only had £10k a month to spend on marketing.

Turns out that this company was promising this brand stupid levels of sales with a tiny budget.

I immediately got up and left. What this company was promising was impossible and I knew it. I didn’t want to work for a stupid, deluded company.
