The 'why build it' part felt almost too easy and I think I rushed through it to get to metrics, which was probably the wrong call.
Start by articulating Meta's mission and strategic priorities, then explain how Facebook Events aligns with them and addresses user needs. Define success through a balanced set of metrics that capture user engagement, ecosystem health, and business impact, and propose a measurement plan.
Pro tip: Tie your answer to Meta's 'social graph' and 'meaningful connections' narrative, and acknowledge potential trade-offs like privacy or event fatigue to show strategic maturity.
Explain how Facebook Events supports Meta's mission to bring people together and its focus on community and meaningful interactions.
Identify the core user needs (e.g., discovering, organizing, and coordinating events) and the market opportunity for Meta.
Describe the ideal product experience and key features that would differentiate Facebook Events from competitors.
Define a hierarchy of metrics: engagement (e.g., events created, RSVPs), ecosystem (e.g., connections formed), and business (e.g., ad revenue, local business partnerships).
Outline how to track metrics over time, set targets, and use A/B testing to refine the product.
