This question looks at the candidate's logic as well as their experience with branded keywords. Some good answers I have heard include:

"Depends on the aggregate ROAS for both the organic and paid campaign. If we have a better return overall when Adwords is running, then go for it."

"I would probably run a paid campaign because it is a brand keyword. Some studies I have read showed that running a paid campaign for brands acts a double reinforcement of the brand."
