When you know the operational problem and just need it fixed. Workflow rebuilds, team restructures, production system implementations, post-acquisition integration. A defined deliverable, a defined timeline and a fee agreed upfront.
Every project starts with a brief scoping call to confirm the problem, define the deliverable, and agree the fee before any work begins.
Map your end-to-end content or production workflow, identify the bottlenecks and failure points, and rebuild it with clear ownership, handoff points, and review windows. Delivered as a documented, implemented system — not a slide deck.
Restructure how your team is organised: who reports to whom, who owns what decisions, and how work gets allocated and prioritised. Includes role definition, accountability frameworks, and — where needed — a hiring brief for the gaps.
Design and implement a single operating system for your team: project management tooling, editorial calendars, production trackers, and the working norms to run them. Includes team training and a documented handoff.
