Basic questions. Explanation of structure. This was done in a group environment setting so whatever you thought you were applying for doesn't really matter. There are no skills specific questions and the presentation make pretty clear the job is bleak.
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Incline Marketing (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2010
Interview
After submitting a cover letter and a resume, I received an e-mail to schedule a phone interview on a Friday. I appreciated the digital notification, as many employers simply call and give impromptu interviews. After answering a series of questions on my experience and the standard marketing internship interview questions, I was invited for a 1:1 interview.
At the 1:1 interview, it was a bit more difficult. It was a different interviewer (the other half of the small company) and he asked a series of questions to gain familiarity on my background. Then, he said we were going to do a case test around the idea of starting a new business. I was excited because I had done a lot of case competitions. However, it was a bit difficult to figure out what information he was seeking, so I didn't do well and the interview essentially ended after that portion.
While that piece was difficult, he offered great advice for my future interviews, which I appreciated a lot. Additionally, he offered advice on one way I could grow my marketing career, which I always value since I'm young and still trying to figure out where to take my marketing degree. You could tell that he and the internship would've been a great mentoring experience.

Please describe the information that you would need to know if you were starting a new business.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Incline Marketing in May 2010
Interview
Be prepared for vague case style interview. First interview was a phone interview, followed by an office interview, then two 1 on 1s, then a final more relaxed interview over happy hour. There was a lot of emphasis on team cohesion and work ethic.
