# Digital Marketing Agency Workflow and Project Management

## Digital Marketing Agency Workflow and Project Management

Reliable agency delivery requires a visible process from sales handover to final reporting. A consistent workflow reduces missed approvals, scope confusion and avoidable rework.

### Core workflow

1. **Sales handover:** Transfer the agreed objectives, scope, price, exclusions and commitments.
2. **Onboarding:** Collect necessary access, brand assets, audience information, existing data and approval contacts securely.
3. **Discovery and baseline:** Confirm goals, current performance, constraints and measurement definitions.
4. **Planning:** Break the work into tasks, owners, due dates, dependencies and review points.
5. **Production:** Create campaigns, content, audits or assets using agreed standards.
6. **Quality assurance:** Check facts, links, mobile layout, tracking, budgets, permissions and client requirements before release.
7. **Approval and launch:** Record approval and confirm who is authorised to publish or change spend.
8. **Monitoring and reporting:** Check performance, document changes and communicate risks promptly.
9. **Review and handover:** Capture lessons, deliver final assets and revoke access when appropriate.

### Project management essentials

- Maintain one source of truth for tasks and decisions.
- Use clear task owners and acceptance criteria.
- Define turnaround times for client approvals.
- Track scope changes and obtain agreement before extra work.
- Use naming conventions and version control for assets.
- Protect credentials and grant only necessary access.

### Useful operating metrics

Track on-time delivery, revision cycles, overdue approvals, scope changes, hours against estimate, unresolved issues and client satisfaction. These metrics help identify process bottlenecks; they should be interpreted alongside quality, not used to reward speed at any cost.

### Weekly operating review

Review priorities, blockers, deadlines, campaign risks, upcoming approvals and capacity. End with named actions and due dates so issues do not remain buried in chat threads.
