My background is in digital media buying at a large holding company where planning and buying are separate. I’m now interviewing at a boutique agency where roles are more integrated. Any tips for how to position myself in the interview when I have less experience in planning (e.g. strategy, R/F tools, channel selection) but want to show I’m ready to grow in that area?

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
