My colleague has been arguing that case interviews are completely useless. I'm pretty sure that they must have failed a case interview lately or something, considering how passionately they're going on and on about this. But does he have a point? Are case interviews still useful?

The thought process they want you to exhibit is disconnected from the real world politics and dynamics. Is it an indicator of a structured and logical brain, yes? Does it speak to the real issues that need to be navigated, f no.

Its like a driving test. A performance. Once you're licensed, you get laughed at if you're still performing.

Now watch all the butt-hurt MBB fanboys come at me for exposing them

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.
