⚑ Crisis Management
πŸ“ˆ $117K Campaign Success

The Challenge

When the company faced urgent revenue targets requiring $100K in sales within 90 days to maintain operational stability, the marketing team needed to coordinate a comprehensive campaign while continuing all regular business operations.

Crisis Context: The company required this revenue to survive as an organization. The marketing team was given 90 days to generate results that would determine whether the business could continue operating. This wasn't just a growth targetβ€”it was a survival requirement.

The challenge involved managing a distributed team across four countries and multiple time zones, coordinating both internal team members and external vendors, and executing a complex multi-phase campaign under extreme time pressure. Team members had varying comfort levels with collaboration tools, from seasoned executives who preferred traditional communication methods to contractors who needed training on systematic workflow adoption.

Distributed Team Complexity: Contractors across the United States from coast to coast, media coordinator in Canada, web and marketing consultant in Australia, plus external creative vendors through the Flocksy platform.

Strategic Solution

Building on previously established coordination systems, I adapted our workflows to meet crisis timeline demands while maintaining team cohesion across multiple time zones and platforms.

πŸ” Strategic Market Research Coordination

  • Coordinated multi-source intelligence gathering across 20K member community analysis
  • Systematically analyzed historical content performance data
  • Collaborated with copywriter and CEO to synthesize research into revised messaging
  • Targeted messaging refinement for beginner contractor audience

🎯 Multi-Platform Campaign Management

  • Built cause marketing campaign around virtual workshop series
  • Designed tiered pricing structure ($15/$50/$500) for prospect segmentation
  • Coordinated content creation across email, social, sales pages, and video ads
  • All proceeds donated to Wounded Warrior Project for audience resonance

⚑ Rapid Content Production Coordination

  • Pivoted existing podcast schedule to create supporting 5-day series
  • Coordinated St. Louis video team with Colorado-based founder
  • Utilized established "one-click" studio setup for emergency content
  • Managed slide deck production through external Flocksy designers

🌐 International Team Communication

  • Shifted from formal Trello workflows to rapid Slack huddles
  • Maintained standard Tuesday marketing huddles for Australia team member
  • Used Google Docs collaboration for crisis-speed execution
  • Ensured clear communication across all time zones

Campaign Implementation

The campaign required adaptation of established systematic processes to meet compressed timelines while maintaining quality standards. I coordinated the team through a strategic 32-day timeline:

Phase 1: Research & Messaging

April 28-May 11
Market research and messaging optimization based on community analysis and historical performance data.

Phase 2: Content Production

May 12-19
Podcast series coordination and production using established studio setup and distributed team.

Phase 3: Workshop Execution

May 20-22
Live workshop execution with 90% attendance rate among 279 registrants.

Phase 4: Sales Conversion

May 22-30
Sales conversion and enrollment coordination following workshop series completion.

Operational Excellence: Throughout all phases, I maintained regular operational responsibilities including audio podcast production, guest vetting and selection, social media posting, and community engagement, ensuring business-as-usual operations continued seamlessly alongside crisis campaign execution.
