I reiterate my previous statement:
I would not recommend anyone undertake work that requires more than 3 hours to complete. I’ve noticed that companies that require these types of extremely complex tasks tend to engage in extensive recruitment. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but it appears that they view LinkedIn as an untapped source of free resources, exploiting the eagerness and desperation of applicants to secure employment. Which is highly unethical.
So, in conclusion, if you have a stellar CV and a wonderful portfolio, there is no need to prove yourself more by working tirelessly for free.

I am not the typical job seeker; I sometimes apply for (part-time) positions to gain insight into a certain field of interest to me and to help my students, whom I train, to render stellar performance in job interviews. 

One time, I applied because I loved the field and didn’t mind the extra work. I am an overachiever.
They requested a fully developed marketing strategy and an editorial plan for social media, which comprised articles and posts for one month. 
This entailed a full week of work and extensive research. I did this because I loved the job. And to my surprise, I received no feedback. Later, I saw my ideas shared on their website and social media accounts. Their claims of being ethical and respecting their employees astonished me, as I do not believe they treat their employees better than applicants. 

Within two months, I have noticed a new job posting for this role in this company. 

Conclusion
Focus on all activities that can enhance and validate your experience and skills.
Rewrite your CV and Cover letter
Rework your LinkedIn profile
Update your Portfolio.
If that is possible, ask for referrals and move on.

If you need help, I am here.
