Simulation Scenario: “The Project Deadline Dilemma”
Setting: A mid-sized marketing agency, “InnovateAds,” in Nairobi, Kenya. It’s late May 2025.
Characters:
- Aisha (30s): Senior Marketing Strategist. Organized, detail-oriented, but can be perceived as rigid. Has been with InnovateAds for 5 years.
- David (20s): Junior Graphic Designer. Creative, enthusiastic, but sometimes struggles with time management and communication regarding progress. Joined InnovateAds 10 months ago.
- Mwangi (40s): Head of Creative Department (Aisha and David’s direct supervisor). A seasoned professional who values team harmony but is under pressure from upper management.
The Conflict:
InnovateAds has secured a major campaign for “EcoFoods,” a new organic food brand, with a tight deadline for the initial pitch presentation: June 10th, 2025. Aisha is leading the strategy, and David is responsible for designing the key visual assets and presentation slides.
