Challenge — Paid social, paid search, and email were each planned by a different person, with three separate offer calendars that occasionally contradicted each other during the client's busiest eight weeks.

Objective — One coordinated plan for peak season instead of three teams improvising in parallel.

Strategy — A single offer calendar was built six weeks out, with budget able to move between channels weekly based on real-time performance rather than being fixed at the start of the season.

  • Consolidated three separate offer calendars into one, reviewed and signed off by every channel owner
  • Built channel-specific creative from one shared strategy and asset library instead of three separate briefs
  • Reallocated budget between search, social, and email weekly against real-time efficiency data

“We stopped finding out about a channel's offer from the customer complaints. Everyone worked from the same calendar for the first time.” Marketing Lead, Marlow & Bick
