This is the interviewer's way of finding out if you are a micromanager or not. Oftentimes in the marketing world, resources are limited, so you may need to roll up your sleeves from time to time. Most likely, the interviewer is looking for someone who is comfortable delegating tasks to others for the most part. You want to show that despite your willingness to do a little bit of the nitty-gritty, you are still the leader and your focus is to rally the team and achieve goals.

"Honestly, I have no problem filling in for tasks, especially when working with very small teams. However, I know what my role is, and that is to be the captain of the team. For example, if we have a significant deliverable and we're behind in the timeline because we only have so many people in the team, I'm happy to lend a hand if my bandwidth allows it. There are many ways to avoid this through risk management, but there are a lot of factors we can't predict. Team members or other resources could be missing or unavailable. Before I volunteer myself, though, I'll look for other ways to solve an issue first."
