Example: "I approach market research by first identifying the key questions we need answers to, which helps in selecting the appropriate research methods. I use a combination of qualitative methods like focus groups and interviews, and quantitative methods like surveys and data analysis tools such as SPSS or Tableau. For instance, in my previous role, I conducted a comprehensive market analysis that revealed a growing trend towards eco-friendly products. Using these insights, I spearheaded a rebranding initiative that positioned our brand as environmentally conscious, which resulted in a 20% increase in market share over the next year. I continuously monitor the impact of our branding strategies through KPIs and adjust them as needed to ensure they align with consumer expectations and market dynamics."
