Marketing project managers are expected to have top-shelf communication skills, versatile enough to cater to a variety of audiences. With this question, the interviewer wants to learn that you are comfortable representing your team or your agency's interests when speaking with senior leadership stakeholders, or clients of the highest positions. A successful answer shows the interviewer that you can hold your own when speaking to such people, and that you are able to do your job and not be intimidated.

"Over the last few years, I've really leveled up in terms of communication and facilitation skills. I've had the opportunity to interact with owners and decision-makers from small businesses and enterprise-level organizations. The key to effectively relate to them is to understand their needs and address them. For example, when speaking with presidents or CEOs of large corporations, I find that they always look at the bottom line for their business. So I always present metrics, or anything that's very data-driven. When talking to them, I usually have a high-level approach and am more concise because they don't like to hear about the nitty-gritty. For small business entrepreneurs, I find that they respond well when I talk more openly. They want value for money and need assurance that you are working with them as a partner and are looking out for their business."
