Scale Client Campaign Onboarding with Automated Methodology Collections
- Context & Challenge:
Maya oversees client onboarding at a rapidly expanding marketing agency that specializes in launching high-impact campaigns for fast-growing startups. With each new engagement, her team needed to align on brand guidelines, define target audiences, clarify messaging frameworks, and finalize creative assets—all within compressed timelines.
As demand surged, Maya’s team found themselves repeating similar alignment calls and re-explaining campaign briefs, which resulted in miscommunication, slow campaign rollouts, and inconsistent client expectations.
Key pain points included:
Complex Campaign Briefs: Clients often misunderstood what was needed to get campaigns off the ground, causing delays, misaligned expectations, and repeated clarifications.
Time-Consuming Onboarding: Multiple back-and-forth meetings and email threads were required just to gather the basic inputs needed for launch.
Inconsistent Kickoffs: The lack of a standardized process meant some clients skipped key steps, impacting creative quality and project flow.
Limited Capacity: With much of the team’s time tied up in repetitive onboarding activities, the agency couldn’t scale its client intake without risking delays in delivery.
- Transformation with Wizly
- To solve for growing inefficiencies and ensure a consistent, high-quality onboarding experience, Maya partnered with Wizly to digitize her agency’s onboarding framework into an interactive, AI-supported Methodology Collection. Her goal was to empower clients with self-service clarity while giving her team back time for strategic, creative work.
- Campaign Modules: Maya structured the onboarding into five focused modules—each designed to walk clients through a critical campaign planning step. These included: Brand Immersion (understanding tone, voice, and identity), Target Audience Deep Dive (refining personas and audience segments), Messaging Strategy (establishing positioning and core themes), Creative Brief (detailing deliverables and asset needs), and Campaign Timeline (outlining milestones and review cycles).
Interactive Content: Each module was designed to engage clients through rich, multi-format content—explainer videos for visual learners, editable templates to encourage hands-on participation, annotated slide decks for guided walkthroughs, and checklists to ensure nothing fell through the cracks.
AI Assistant: The AI assistant served as a 24/7 support resource, answering client questions like “Where do I upload brand assets?” or “What’s the ideal audience persona format?” with instant, tailored responses. It was trained on Maya’s agency workflows and campaign standards, enabling it to deliver advice that matched the team’s guidance while reducing back-and-forth with account managers.
Automated Workflows: Wizly’s backend was integrated with Maya’s project management tools, automatically triggering task assignments and checklist updates as clients completed modules. The system also flagged stalled progress and sent real-time alerts to account managers, allowing for timely intervention and keeping every campaign on track.
- Client Interaction & AI Engagement:
Clients gained a sense of autonomy and structure through the Methodology Collections. They appreciated being able to move through onboarding at their own pace, accessing resources when convenient and getting immediate support from the AI assistant. Maya’s team, in turn, used real-time engagement metrics to stay ahead of potential bottlenecks and guide clients strategically, ensuring smoother collaboration and better-prepared project kickoffs.
