Covid Cope Marketing Campaign

Multi-Channel Integrated Marketing Campaign initiated in response to Covid-19. Campaign objective: grow digital presence and target new customers. Campaign strategy centered on complementary services and phrased as COVID Cope. I was responsible for the project initiation which involved defining the project and conducting a risk analysis and environmental scan of competitor and industry marketing strategies to determine project feasibility and potential constraints. I also lead the project planning to establish the flow of project tasks and created a WBS to use as a framework for project tasks. I was also responsible for determining appropriate marketing channels, setting the project budget, and determining the best external marketing tools to leverage to ensure project success. The project was monitored and controlled daily, and necessary adjustments were made to ensure cost and time constraints were met. The project was successfully closed and lessons learned archived for future projects.

The Mini Marketing Campaign 

Led a team of 25 workers across 13 locations on a targeted marketing campaign centered on executing 8 "Mini" workout sessions per employee per day. The campaign objectives were to increase lead generation and sales conversions. I was responsible for the planning of the sequence of events in the campaign and also created employee schedules and assigned required "stations" for employees to work in. As a part of the planning, I trained the workers in the "best practices" to use to achieve project objectives and favorable outcomes. I monitored and controlled the campaign thru consistent

PT on 1 Marketing Campaign

A multi-department marketing campaign in which I directly lead over 40 employees. The campaign objective was to increase employee engagement with front end member traffic thru high-level member interaction timed at member check-in. In addition to planning, executing, monitoring, and controlling, one of my primary roles during this project was Integration Management due to the high level of departmental integration required. I acted as a liaison between the three departments of operations, PT, and membership sales to synchronize the flow of tasks required to successfully execute the project. This required the use of effective interpersonal skills due to the prevailing silo that existed between departments. In addition to this, I was directly responsible for schedules and assigning front in work stations to employees. Additionally, I reported the project results to key stakeholders and upper/management and implemented the suggested modifications to the program when required.

IVP (Interactive Virtual Presentation)

This was an interactive virtual presentation (IVP) created by the company to replace the existing paper-based presentation. As a VP, I had direct involvement in the initiating of the product district-wide and created the verbiage to be used by staff. I was also responsible for training all staff on its proper use and ensuring it was launched correctly. This was achieved by motivating staff to use the new product by educating them on its benefits. I was also directly responsible for monitoring the results achieved as a result of the training, launch, and use of the module and reporting them back to key stakeholders on a regular basis.

20/10 Marketing Campaign

This marketing project was a broad attempt of the company to improve staff image and perception held by the member base. The project required high-level interfacing between gym-goers and staff at designated times of the day - 20 minutes after the hour and 10 minutes before each hour. As a VP, I was directly involved in the initiating of the project and helped to establish its need and feasibility. This was achieved thru meeting with stakeholders and providing feedback obtained thru member questionnaires and phone calls. I was also in charge of planning such as scheduling and proper staffing during project work hours. Staff was directly trained by me in the proper execution of the project and the project was monitored and controlled daily thru visual inspection, member feedback, and employee appraisal. The project was successfully closed by soliciting member feedback on employee and staff image and lessons learned used as inputs for future projects.
