Problem

Our client, a mutual insurance company that provides financial services, urgently required a specialized studio team to lead their rebranding execution efforts consolidating 16 brands into one.

Solution

We were selected as the agency of choice to establish an embedded studio with 30 team members within 2-weeks including Graphic Designers (Sr. and Mid-level), Project Managers, Copywriters, Production Designers and a Producer.

Key Processes Implemented:

  • Project Managers implemented workflows in Workfront.
  • Utilized Workfront reports for time approval and invoicing.
  • Bi-weekly leadership meetings were held to ensure the studio team met critical milestones consistently.

Result

  • 3,000+ assets delivered.
  • Aggressive rebrand deadline met.
  • Efficiently managed and delivered work at scale via Workfront.
  • Client paid only for billable hours (not a standard 40-hr/week).

Due to the success of this engagement, the client requested we establish a smaller version of the same model and team six months later to further extend the rebrand.

Problem

A leading real estate company faced the challenge of elevating their visual content to accurately reflect the luxurious nature of their properties.

Their existing photo and video assets lacked the consistency and sophistication needed to represent their high-end brand, which affected their market positioning and customer perception.

Solution

  • Ensuring each asset was meticulously QA’d to align with the brand’s upscale image and the specific look and feel of each property.
  • Properly tagging, organizing, and integrating all approved imagery and video assets into their Digital Asset Management (DAM) system for streamlined access and use.

Despite having project managers, the lack of a centralized Project Management Office (PMO) led to disorganization, inconsistent processes, and inadequate oversight.

Problem

Our client, a large healthcare system, was struggling with fragmented project management across seven marketing departments.

Despite having project managers, the lack of a centralized Project Management Office (PMO) led to disorganization, inconsistent processes, and inadequate oversight.

This resulted in projects frequently exceeding budgets, missing deadlines, and generating numerous client change requests which disrupted workflow and hindered overall effectiveness of the marketing teams.

Solution

Our consultant team conducted a thorough discovery phase with the marketing operations team and key stakeholders from all seven departments.

Using our learnings, we developed and executed a plan to establish a new PMO within six months, which included creating standards and best practices, documenting procedures, integrating Fusion with Adobe Workfront, and providing comprehensive training to all marketing team members.

Result

The new PMO brought structure and consistency to project management, reducing budget overruns and improving deadline adherence across the marketing departments.

The integration of Fusion into Adobe Workfront enhanced project visibility and collaboration, resulting in more efficient project execution and better alignment with strategic goals.
