How we test marketers

Everyone takes the same tests before a business sees them, and the scores stay on the profile. You judge the work, not the photo.
English
Read a client's email, answer five questions about it and write a reply of 80 to 150 words. AI grades the reply for grammar, clarity, tone and whether it answers the email. The result is a CEFR band from A2 to C2 with a score out of 100.
Typing
A 60-second passage written like a launch update. Scored on words per minute and accuracy, with 5 characters counted as a word. Only correct characters count.
Marketing quiz
Six situations from running campaigns, like judging whether ads work, an email with opens but no clicks and a blog post stuck on page two, plus a short written reply to a client who thinks their ads didn't work. Scored out of 100.
ID check
A person on our team checks a government ID against a selfie. The images are deleted after review.
