How to prepare for Brand Management / Product Management / Category Head types of roles in FMCG and FMCD?

I appeared for a few such interviews in FMCD firms and haven't yet managed to crack them.

Trying to figure out what exactly can be done to prepare from an interview speaking point of view.

A brand managers role encompasses everything from ensuring the brand health, profitability, and day to day activities. You must be well versed with understanding your consumers, in andnout of your offerings, and sales and distribution of your brand.

Start by learning about NPD, Launch plans, increasing market share, etc.
And ofcourse media.
