The challenge
Arcstone was ready to invest more in marketing, but the team was running too many initiatives at once. No one could say which channels drove new clients, and every new idea was added to the list.
- Too many initiatives competed for one budget.
- Channel results were not compared on the same basis.
- Agencies worked without clear targets.
- Leadership lacked a shared growth plan.
