Sample Answers

Do you like seeing advertisements on TV or online? Honestly, I'm not a big fan of seeing ads on TV, but I think online ads are a bit more tolerable. I mean, at least online, I can skip them or close the tab if I'm not interested. But on TV, you're kind of stuck watching them. Plus, I feel like online ads are more targeted to my interests, so I'm more likely to actually care about what they're promoting.

What kind of advertisements do you like? I actually really enjoy watching funny ads, you know, the ones that are more like mini-commercials with a storyline. They're entertaining and make me laugh, so I don't mind watching them. I also like ads that are visually appealing, with really cool graphics or animation. It's like a little piece of art, you know?

Do you share advertisements with others? Yeah, I do share ads with my friends and family if I think they're really funny or relevant to them. I'll send them a link or a screenshot and say 'Hey, check this out!' It's a great way to share a laugh or get someone's opinion on a product. Plus, it's a good way to spread the word about something I really like.

Do you want to work in advertising in the future? Actually, I've always been interested in the creative side of advertising, like coming up with ideas for campaigns and designing the visuals. I think it would be a really cool job, but I'm not sure if I'm cut out for the business side of things. Maybe someday I'll consider it, but for now, I'm happy to just appreciate ads as a consumer.
