Customer Challenges:
The marketing operations at the company were becoming increasingly complex. The Marketing Planning team faced significant challenges. Coordinating 400 individuals across 40 departments, they managed various campaigns, brand activations, and partnerships. However, the team struggled with siloed processes, inefficient communication, and difficulties in tracking and reporting.
Their outdated tools, such as Google Docs and Sheets, were outdated and made collaboration difficult. Teams were constantly chasing updates and dealing with last-minute changes, which resulted in time-consuming processes. The manual calendar setup was also inefficient, further complicating project management.
Solutions:
We implemented a unified platform to address these challenges and improve team efficiency. After thorough research, we selected monday.com as their solution. This marked a significant shift in their approach to adopting new tools. Instead of rolling out new software without proper planning, We implemented a structured rollout for monday.com, ensuring the success of its adoption.
Key steps in the rollout plan included:
- A customized rollout to guide the transition
- A base structure to showcase potential workflows
- Continuous intra and inter-support through resources
The first major initiative on monday.com was the development of a master content calendar. This calendar integrated key dates and milestones, making collaboration easier for different departments. The content calendar, linked with a content production board, ensured that any changes were automatically updated, streamlining communication and reducing manual errors. We also integrated monday.com with Slack to automate quality assurance notifications, further enhancing operational efficiency.
