Marketing is a nuanced practice, and what works for one or project will not necessarily be the same fit for another, even for similar clients or within the same industry. The interviewer is not looking for a specific methodology. Instead, they are wanting to learn what factors you would consider when deciding which methodology to follow. A successful answer will discuss a few of them, along with the different types of campaigns you think each one fits best.

"There are quite a few methodologies that I've followed for marketing campaigns and I don't think one size fits all. If I'm handling an inbound digital marketing campaign with incremental targets, then I'm likely going to use a general Agile approach. That's because I'm going to be providing information such as site visitor numbers or engagement rates or back into the team and allow us some time to adjust our strategy moving forward. This way, we can improve our chances of success as we move along.
Branding projects work best with the waterfall method because the goals are concrete and the process is usually a template with a few adjustments here and there, depending on the client's needs or budget. I also like to use Scrum methodology when managing one brand's social media ad campaigns simultaneously. With Scrum, I'm able to assign individual sprint owners and delegate to them."
