If your marketing communications team was streamlined by the unique challenges of COVID, and continues to be exhausted by the continual push to achieve more with less, team motivation and time management is critical for rebuilding and retaining your competitive edge.
Work that drains energy also drains time and motivation.
I've worked in design and marketing communications for nearly 20 years and I've observed how energy drainers - often simple but repetitive projects and tasks - can begin to unravel a harmonious team dynamic, and impede strategic progress. And I know only too well how untouched projects that get pushed down the to-do list can add to the burden of stress.
Outsourcing repetitive or 'important-not-urgent' work is a good way to invigorate you and your team, freeing you up to focus on the work that not only energises and motivates you, but moves you collectively towards strategic goals.
I excel at the tasks that drain other people:
Presentation design and re-working (Powerpoint and Prezi)
Internal newsletters and documents
Desktop publishing - reports, datasheets, booklets, pamphlets, newsletters (internal and external)
Document formatting (eg. post-rebrand) - and, it's a bit niche, but taking menu designs and setting them up in an editable Word document for onsite teams to access and update
Eshot prep
Resizing ads and assets (properly)
But I can also support with:
Standalone marketing project management - campaigns, content packages
Event coordination, logistics and materials
Webinar/podcast coordination and deliverables
General graphic design - large format, digital, logo and brand design
Typesetting
