Diagnosis

Diagnosis

A 6-person Santiago agency wanting to expand internationally was running on three tools: WhatsApp for client communication, fragmented Notion with no shared structure, and in-person meetings as the primary coordination mechanism. The result was duplicated effort, inconsistent client delivery and zero documentation β€” meaning every new project started from scratch and every new hire required weeks of informal onboarding. Scaling that system internationally wasn't a growth problem. It was an infrastructure problem.

Design

Design

The solution was a phased digital transformation roadmap built around four user stories with acceptance criteria, two sprints and OKRs with measurable Key Results. The MVP focused on one goal: centralize everything into a single collaborative workspace. Notion became the operating system β€” with a client tracker, campaign dashboard, content calendar, briefing templates and a project management flow that moved work from brief to delivery without a single WhatsApp message.

Roadmap

Roadmap

Sprint 1 delivered the Notion workspace and automated client briefing forms β€” eliminating the initial meeting required to start every project. Sprint 2 covered international website accessibility and a standardized onboarding kit for new clients and team members. Q4 milestones added auto-generated weekly campaign reports, removing the manual reporting cycle that was consuming an estimated 3–4 hours per week per account manager.

Results

Results

Projected outcomes: 80% reduction in coordination messages via WhatsApp. 70% reduction in initial client meetings through automated briefing. Weekly reports generated automatically β€” 0 manual hours. Full international-ready operation achievable within one quarter of implementation, without hiring additional staff.

Repicability

Repicability

The system was designed to be replicable. Every template, workflow and dashboard was documented with enough clarity that a new team member could onboard in one day instead of two weeks. The agile structure β€” sprints, backlog, OKRs β€” means the agency can continue iterating the system independently, adding new workflows as the team grows without rebuilding from scratch. That's the difference between a consulting project and an operating system: one ends when you leave, the other keeps running.
