Case Study: How Marquee Project Streamlined a Major Healthcare Company’s Email Marketing Operations.

Sector: Medical

Marquee Project offers the following services: process optimization, email campaign management, and marketing operations consulting.

Challenge

The healthcare organization experienced serious problems with its email marketing campaigns. Their email campaigns were frequently delayed, which resulted in missed deadlines, disorganized email launches, and a lack of structure in the way the campaigns were carried out. The marketing and sales teams felt frustrated by this inefficiency, since internal resources were overworked and unable to cope with the volume of assets and campaigns.

Because the company’s email process lacked established protocols, the following happened:

  • Campaigns that were started late: Emails were regularly started late, which resulted in missed chances to communicate with patients, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders on time.
  • Ineffective asset management: Email templates, photos, and content were all managed in an inefficient manner because there was no standardized procedure in place. Teams frequently struggled to find authorized assets, which further delayed the start of campaigns.
  • Breakdowns in communication: Misalignments and misunderstandings arose in the absence of an organized system for department-to-department communication, resulting in last-minute modifications and quality problems.
  • Low return on investment (ROI) from email initiatives: The healthcare company’s email marketing initiatives were not achieving their full potential due to disorganized launches and poor communication.

The healthcare company need a way to increase communication, expedite email marketing processes, and regularly meet campaign deadlines.

Solution

To solve the inefficiencies and help the healthcare organization in taking back control of their email marketing operations, Marquee Project, a top provider of marketing operations, was brought in. Process optimization, organized workflows, and improved communication protocols were all part of the solution. Marquee Project addressed the task in three primary phases:

1. Implementing Workflow and Process Overhaul

The healthcare company’s present email marketing process was audited by Marquee Project in order to pinpoint major bottlenecks and potential improvement areas. They established a streamlined, end-to-end workflow for email campaign management after realizing the difficulties. Among them were:

  • Standardized email campaign process: Establishing a methodical procedure for drafting, approving, and launching emails guaranteed that all members of the team were on the same page and cognizant of their roles.
  • Asset management system: By creating a centralized location for approved photos, content assets, and email templates, the healthcare marketing team can find materials more quickly and efficiently, cutting down on delays brought on by asset confusion.
  • Automation technologies: Using marketing automation technologies to handle recurring duties, like setting up email campaigns, reminding recipients of approvals, and monitoring their progress.

2. Improved Channels of Communication

Marquee Project implemented new tools and communication methods to guarantee improved teamwork:

  • Cross-team communication: Holding weekly meetings to talk about future campaigns, resolve any issues, and make sure everyone was aware of deadlines was established between the creative, marketing, and healthcare service departments.
  • Real-time collaboration tools: Including communication systems like Microsoft Teams or Slack to facilitate updates and real-time communication, making sure that no one is left out of critical information or changes.
  • Clear ownership and responsibility: By clearly defining roles and duties for every stage of the campaign—from content generation to email design, testing, and launch— ownership and responsibility was achieved, significantly reducing delays.

3. Quality and Deadlines

With the procedures and communication plans in place, Marquee Project placed a high priority on completing projects on time without sacrificing quality:

  • Creating thorough project schedules with well-defined deadlines and milestones for every email campaign can help to guarantee that no stages are overlooked.
  • Ensuring error-free and superior email campaigns by putting in place a quality assurance procedure that involved extensive testing of email designs, links, and content prior to launch.
  • Monitoring and Reporting: By implementing a reporting system, the healthcare organization was able to monitor the effectiveness of campaigns and spot any inefficiencies in the process in real time.

Results

Marquee Project successfully changed the healthcare company’s email marketing processes by the end of the engagement. The results that followed were significant:

1. Decreased Email Backlog and Timely Releases

The healthcare organization changed from routinely missing deadlines to always launching email campaigns on schedule. Within the first three months, the backlog of email campaigns was totally cleared, enabling the marketing team to maintain a lead time instead of rushing to fulfill deadlines.

2. Asset Management That Is Organized and Simplified

The healthcare organization was able to effectively arrange all of its marketing assets thanks to the new unified asset management system. Delays in the campaign creation process were minimized as a result of the substantial reduction in the amount of time spent looking for approved content.

3. Enhanced Interaction and Teamwork

Teams become more aligned after organized lines of communication were established. Everyone participating in the email campaigns—whether in marketing, creative, or healthcare services—was kept informed and collaborated effectively thanks to the weekly meetings and real-time technologies. As a result, there were less problems with communication and email campaigns were started without any last-minute confusion.

4. Improved Email Campaign Quality

The healthcare organization experienced a significant improvement in the quality of their email messages after using an established process and a specialized quality assurance system. Not only were emails launched on schedule, but they also had no errors and had unified branding, messaging, and functionality.

The healthcare company’s email marketing operations were inefficient and unorganized before Marquee Project’s help. Today, they are extremely structured and effective. The healthcare organization regained control of their email marketing and saw major improvements in performance and return on investment by implementing a standardized workflow, enhancing communication, and emphasizing quality and deadlines.

The successful completion of this case study emphasizes how important it is to collaborate with a specialist in marketing operations, such as Marquee Project, in order to improve communication, expedite procedures, and produce timely, effective marketing campaigns.
