Marketing Campaigns 

InterviewBit does not have any particular marketing campaigns.

According to Saurabh Saxena (Chief Operating Officer (COO), InterviewBit), There is no need for a separate Strategy Team rather, the GTM (Go-to-Market) teams are the ones that also act as Marketing and Sales Teams. Saurabh Saxena also says that the Marketing Strategies come up with the joint efforts of the Chief Medical Officer, Rahul Karthikeyan and the Head of Sales Mr Nitin Solanki.

InterviewBit gets around 70 Thousand students per day through their YouTube ads, Facebook ads, Google ads and also by influencer campaigns. The Chief Operating Officer, Saurabh Saxena elaborates that they look into what would influence their targetted audience and goes by it. And as a matter of fact, the target audience of InterviewBit is mainly influenced by influencer marketing.

SEO strategy has no other alternative and InterviewBit uses it to the fullest extent. According to SEO ranking, below 500 keywords are considered bad, above 1000 are considered good, and 10,000+ is considered amazing. As we can see interviewbit.com has 492,614 organic keywords and it is considered amazing. That means the digital marketing of InterviewBit is gaining a great number of insights.

Also, the traffic per month is around 4.6M which is considered a large amount. Hence, InterviewBit has a great SEO strategy. This proves that InterviewBit is fueled by a foolproof SEO strategy along with working hard enough to keep the brand soaring in the Google organic SERP results.

Influencer Marketing 

The Chief Operating Officer, Saurabh Saxena says in an interview that they have collaborated with a lot of influencers but haven’t given any precise details about their marketing strategies. 

E-commerce Strategies

InterviewBit has an e-commerce portal through which you can use all the services that they offer through their online website that too for free. They offer various mock assessments and interviews which help you to become interview ready.

Mobile Apps

For the record, the company has not yet launched any mobile apps but maybe in the near future, it might launch one.

Content Marketing Strategies

Content marketing is also an important element in a successful marketing strategy. True and transparent content helps the audience to know about the brand and gives them an idea if they should trust the brand or not. Therefore it is very vital for a company to provide enough content to the audience for their better understanding. 

InterviewBit provides content through social media but along with that they also post various blogs and articles that help the audience to solve their doubts.

This ends the detailed marketing strategy of InterviewBit.
