This is a group interview. Begin by introducing the brand and asking participants if they have any knowledge about it. Then, divide the participants into pairs (2-on-2 groups). Each participant should introduce themselves to their group member, followed by introducing their group member in front of everyone. Afterward, randomly select scenario-based role-play topics, assign them to groups, and let the participants act them out.
