Marketing Systems & Operations

How I run campaigns

I design repeatable operating models rather than campaign‑specific solutions. With Focus on designing measurement systems that support real operational choices - what to scale, what to stop, where to intervene, and when to hold steady.

I built structures that allow marketing systems to operate predictably - even as complexity increases, teams change, and priorities shift.

Growth, lifecycle & Performance

How I execute comms plans

Design systems that convert awareness into intent, intent into participation, and participation into retention. My work on systems that manage people before, during, and after engagement.

I built structures that allow marketing systems to operate predictably - even as complexity increases, teams change, and priorities shift.

Creative Direction & Change

How I lead behaviour and perception shift

Design systems that convert awareness into intent, intent into participation, and participation into retention. My work on systems that manage people before, during, and after engagement.

Creative Design

My work in Creative Systems focuses on designing the operational conditions that allow creative output to be produced at volume, at speed, and with consistency — without compromising brand integrity or overloading teams.

Focus on keeping marketing systems functional when conditions are not - during periods of organisational transition, shifting priorities, constrained capacity, and high scrutiny.

My day-to-day operational workflow (10 step)

I operate at:

  • operations level → how work flows

  • growth level → how results happen

  • strategic/brand level → how it shows up + changes behaviour

  • BRIEFING & PRODUCTION (MULTI‑STREAM, all running parallelly)

    PLAN → MULTI-CHANNEL PRODUCTION

    I track all requests via:

    • Microsoft Forms / Jira

    • Email

    • Slack / Teams

    • Verbal requests (captured into system)

    Requests come from:

    • Internal teams (projects, programmes, leadership)

    • External stakeholders (partners, schools)

    • CRM signals (drop-offs, churn)

    • Paid ads (intent signals)

    • Ad-hoc requests

    • Seasonal campaigns

  • INTAKE & TRIAGE

    REQUEST → VALIDATION → CLASSIFICATION → PRIORITY

    Next I:

    • Validate request scope

    • Reject incomplete requests

    • Assign priority tier (1–4)

    • Define:

      • campaign vs operational request

      • lead time

    Stakeholders:

    • You (Ops lead)

    • Marketing team

    • Requesting stakeholder

    Output:

    • Approved request → enters system

    • Rejected request → returned

  • PLANNING & PRIORITISATION

    APPROVED REQUEST → COMMS PLAN → TIMELINE → RESOURCE ALLOCATION

    My next actions are:

    • Place details into comms plan

    • Assign timeline (based on lead times):

      • Campaign: 1–2 months

      • Social: 4 weeks

      • Email: 7–10 days

      • Print: 1–3 weeks

    • Assign channels + stakeholders

    • Define deliverables

    Stakeholders:

    • Marketing team

    • Project leads

    • External teams (PR / CRM / design)

    Channels:

    • Comms plan (Excel / Notion)

    • Shared calendars

    • Planning trackers

  • BRIEFING & PRODUCTION (MULTI‑STREAM, all running parallelly)

    PLAN → MULTI-CHANNEL PRODUCTION
