Presentations:

From campaign frustration to world domination: You don't need an army to double your campaign output
Heleen Abegg - da Rosa Almeida, Banana Monkey LDA

With fewer dedicated MOPs headcount, many teams are finding themselves facing a move to a decentralized campaign operations model. Join Tracy, Val and Heleen to see how GE Vernova took a hybrid approach to a decentralized model, empowering their team while safeguarding their processes, resulting in a 100% increase in campaign output.

We will cover:

  • Making the transition to decentralization (and the lessons we learned along the way)
  • How to build out a robust but scrappy MOPs intake process when there's just no budget for more tools
  • Why having a dedicated Project Manager is the best money you'll ever spend

When Cupid missed the mark: How a Valentine’s mishap made our MOps triumph
Jackie Lenaghan, Kainos

Picture this: Valentine’s night, hearts aflutter, and a niche campaign is sent to our entire database. Love was certainly not in the air that night. The aftermath? A flurry of unsubscribes, puzzled replies from leaders, and the dreaded “where did you get my data?” enquiries.

Rather than wallow in heartache, our MOps team sprang into action and vowed to transform this mishap into a success story. Join us to hear how we tackled it with:

  • Marketo Workspaces and Partitions - carving out custom partitions for specific teams.
  • Data Hygiene - cleaning and decluttering our workspace
  • Incident Response Plans - to map out response strategies for high impact incidents
  • Sharpening Enablement - around digital skills and compliance processes

So, let’s embrace our blunders. They’re not just cringeworthy moments but opportunities to strengthen your MOps game.
