Your practice track for Social & Influence Manager
at Unilever
What this interview covers
Interviewers for Social & Influence Manager roles at Unilever typically test across 3 areas:
Philippine-specific tips for this role
- ▸ Do not say 'I'll just tell the influencer to put #ad na lang' as if it's a simple fix. Acknowledge legal exposure and the need for documentation. Also avoid saying 'sana hindi ako mapagalitan' - instead demonstrate ownership and a systematic fix.
- ▸ Many Filipino candidates say 'I will just divide it equally' or 'I will focus only on paid ads' without explaining why. Instead, show your logic by linking each allocation to a specific goal like awareness, engagement, or conversion.
- ▸ Common Filipino mistake: saying 'I just posted consistently' or 'it went viral' without showing process. Instead, be specific about your analysis, partnerships, and metrics. Show you made decisions not just guesses.

Unilever faces serious regulatory scrutiny in the Philippines through the Advertising Standards Council and consumer protection laws, so they need to know you can handle compliance breaches swiftly and professionally without escalating to public backlash.
