The process of getting hired at this company is very lengthy. You have to speak to their talent person, film video replies to several of their questions, create a task that involves filming yourself again, then have another interview with another person, and more. The task was a bit confusing, as they tell you to only spend an hour on it, but at the same time advise you that the person who will be reviewing the task likes it when people do extensive research. It is a lot of effort, and in the end, their rejection felt quite casual rather than professional.
1st stage: Had to record some video questions, they were not so positive in nature more around 'what's a time you've had to push back and say no', 'what's a time you had to pivot a campaign that didn't work out'
2nd stage: Screening call with the founder: I really enjoyed the questions asked and although I didn't get an offer, really felt valued by Lottie and was given feedback when promised, so gave me an even better perception of the company that I already liked before!
They also pay you for your time if you get to the final stage, so kudos to them!
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Brand Hackers (London, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
There are 4 rounds, see below:
1. Interview with manager.
2. Task and present loom video to send to the manger.
3. Meet with manager again to discuss task and additional questions.
4. In person half day working. (2 tasks and 3 meetings, plus a call with HR) - they do pay for the day, but not for the travel into the London office, even though they originally stated they would pay for travel.
They asked a lot about technical experience and strategy questions. It felt a bit too high level for an executive level, felt more suited to either a senior or manager.
There was also an additional interview with HR on the in person day which felt a bit strange as they pressed on why I wanted the roll and saying people join to leave 6 months later, that was a concern for me and turned me off the role a little. Even double checking LinkedIn, everyone does seem pretty new and a couple of months in, so maybe it has high turn over.
They are also strongly wanting someone with D2C experience, which made my interview process feel a little meaningless as I stated from the beginning I had some but little experience in this area of marketing. I still had B2B and B2C experience, but this was not enough for the Executive level.
