  Tell me about a time when you achieved a goal that you initially thought was out of reach?

  Situation: In my previous digital marketing role, my company made the decision to focus primarily on email marketing and was looking to increase their list of email subscribers pretty aggressively.

  Task: As the email marketing manager, my target was to increase our email list by at least 50% in just one quarter.

  Action: I started by going back through our old blog posts and adding in content upgrades that incentivized email subscriptionswhich immediately gave our list a boost. Next, I worked with the rest of the marketing team to plan and host a webinar that required an email address to register, which funneled more interested users into our list.

  Result: As a result of those additions to our email strategy, I was able to increase our subscriber list from 25,000 subscribers to 40,000 subscribers in three monthswhich exceeded our goal by 20%.
