The Challenge
Susan, the driving force behind Ascon, was wrestling with a challenge that most business owners know all too well. With endless demands on her time, she found herself buried in operational admin that kept the wheels turning but left little room for what really mattered: driving sales, supporting staff, and focusing on the projects that make her business thrive.
And it didn’t stop there. Susan had a vision to regularly connect with the wider Ascon whānau but wasn’t sure where to begin. While she’d sent out newsletters in the past, they were inconsistent and didn’t quite hit the mark. That’s when she tapped our team to step in and help her turn the tide.
The Solution
We partnered with Ascon for the long haul, delivering tailored solutions across two core areas of business pain points: operations and marketing.
Operational Support That Delivered Results
We rolled up our sleeves, jumped into the trenches, and did a deep-dive into their processes. Here’s how we made life easier for Susan and her team:
- Attended leadership meetings and took minutes
- Tracked internal communications for clarity and continuity
- Scheduled regular WIP (work-in-progress) check-ins
- Created internal documentation and streamlined processes
- Set up project management workflows
- Trained team members on process creation and usage
Every week, we worked closely with the leadership team to understand priorities, tackle urgent tasks, and ensure operations ran smoothly. Unexpected hurdles? We handled those, too. Our support helped skill up their internal operations crew, leaving the team better equipped for the future.
Consistency was the game-changer when it came to marketing. We stepped in and gave their communications a much-needed glow-up:
- Crafted stunning newsletters with updates from their projects and teams
- Built and executed smart email marketing strategies
- Handled list segmentation and management seamlessly
- Created engaging LinkedIn content for their brand visibility
- Tracked the data and reported back with insights
No more flying blind! Our newsletters hit inboxes monthly, packed with fresh, engaging content that informed, inspired, and connected the wider Ascon whānau.
The Result
By the end, Susan’s burning to-do list seemed far less daunting, operational bottlenecks were smoothed out, and marketing landed centre stage with tools and strategies that actually delivered results. It wasn’t just problem-solving; it was a bottom-line boost.
When the mahi matters, we get it done. No fluff. No BS. Just solutions.
