Overall it is great. I personally like different scenarios or work you have taken for different concepts. By this a learner can understand how different work runs like insurance, campaign for young people, Hospital etc. it's good rather than taking only one field work and keep it same on all concepts.

I liked that the simulation felt realistic and focused on the type of decisions marketers make every day, from understanding customers to testing ideas and using AI effectively. It helped show the importance of balancing creativity, data, and technology while keeping the customer’s needs at the center.
