I’ve never gotten that question in an interview. Am I the only one?
What a strange-sounding question. What are they trying to learn? If a client ever thought your idea was worth plowing a ton of cash into? Maybe just me but the budget is usually given in advance (yeah they wiggle and move stuff, but it’s not like you present an ad and the client is like hmmm I’ll give you $400k for that one).
It sounds like a roundabout way of asking how much you’ve been entrusted to manage. The bigger the better, I imagine. (Personally, I think it’s a stupid question. It’s not a question that gauges your skills as a creative.)
You don’t know how much you’ve spent on producing things? OR you don’t know how much clients have spent on media?
One of those you should definitely know ???
At the agency I was at, we were producing short UGC or Motion graphics for mobile advertising, They would tell us we need X number of ads for an account and we'd produce them. I was not working on big commercials with giant budgets.
