Tempo is a social fitness-tracking app used by runners and cyclists to log workouts, share routes, and follow friends' activity. Tempo has 40 million registered users; 25% convert to a paid subscription at $12 per month. The board has set a target to grow annual subscription revenue 50% over the next two years. The CEO has asked you to build the growth plan: where should this growth come from, and how big does each lever need to move?
What happens when you run it live
Your interviewer holds answers to 5 clarifying questions candidates usually ask, so opening the case correctly gets rewarded. The case unfolds over 6 phases, with 3 exhibits handed to you at the right moments. You structure, do the math out loud, and close with a recommendation. Then you get a graded report across structure, quant, insight, synthesis, and communication, with the specific moments that cost you points. The exhibits, numbers, and answer key stay inside the live session, the way a real interviewer keeps the case packet on their side of the table.
How to approach a growth and strategy case
Growth cases hand you a target (grow revenue, fix a stalled business, monetize a product) and an open field of options. The test is structure under ambiguity: lay out the realistic levers (existing products to existing customers, new products, new segments, new channels, pricing), then prioritize by impact and feasibility rather than listing everything.
These cases often carry a curveball midway: a constraint changes, a competitor moves, or the data contradicts the obvious story. Interviewers are watching how you absorb new information without abandoning structure. A crisp final recommendation with a first move and a risk to watch scores far better than a balanced essay.
