Be ready to demonstrate your knowledge on what are the things that make great content and why they work. Content is a bit of a different animal than brand advertising but hey at the end of the day it’s about a story that’s meaningful and makes someone give a shit.

Have some examples ready of cool, smart content that you think is great. Once I was crushing an interview and blanked a little on an example so doing a little research on awesome campaigns with content will pay off. It’s also a great way of demonstrating your knowledge and experience breaking down something great vs. just saying you know how to do it.
