Marketing with Mia – Planning Ahead – Part 1

There Was So Much Paperwork

Mia gave her overflowing desk a once over glace and tried to will the workload away. The caffeine from her morning coffee had worn off, giving Mia a whole new feeling of exhaustion. How did this pile up so quickly? Just as Mia stood to go get a refill of her coffee, her saving grace of an intern Sophia glided through the door.

Sophia had been working under Mia for the summer and was a driven and productive worker. Her goal, much like Mia when she interned at this company, was to become a marketing professional once she graduated.

Mia welcomed the distraction from the Mount Everest of paperwork piling on her desk. Her smile grew as Sophia set a fresh cup of coffee on the only open corner of the desk.

“Tough morning?” Sophia asked, noticing Mia’s tired disposition and the stacks of papers covering the desk.

“Nothing a caffeine boost can’t fix.” Mia replied. “Was there something you needed?”

“Well, I know it’s still quite early in the summer, but fall is approaching and so is the new term, meaning my time here is limited. I wanted to address this early with you and plan my work schedule around my class schedule.” Sophia explained thoroughly.

Mia had completely forgotten about the fall term, and the thought of not having her stellar intern gave her a jolt of anxiety. This conversation brought Mia back to when she was an intern, standing in this very office, facing her mentor who had a very similar workload.

At the time, Mia thought it would be easy to avoid a desk as messy as that, and the solution was to simply plan out times to do get each task done.

Mia finally understood; the more she organized and planned for these projects, the less she’d have to worry about having this problem. Smiling up at Sophia, Mia explained how she understood the dilemma of college courses and an internship, and how balancing them both can be stressful.

Working under the stress of a finite amount of time and an increasing workload can overwhelm even the most productive employees. Proper planning and prioritizing for tasks can be a reasonable solution to get through a mountain of work and create an efficient workflow.  Work will inevitably pile up at some point, but the more you plan ahead, the less stress you will have in the long run.

Planning doesn’t have to be a monumental task. If planning is made a priority, over time it will become a routine. In the next part of this blog series, we will dive further into the process of planning out days, weeks, and months ahead, along with prioritizing tasks to maximize productivity throughout the day.

Cutwing Marketing is a top-notch marketing agency that truly understands and cares abouts its clients’ and their needs! They’re collaboration, responsiveness, drive and overall deliverability has helped my organization continue to set and achieve our business goals and results! We have partnered with this agency for several years now and can say, without a doubt, that the growth observed through our efforts in SEO, PPC, CPC, Email and Social Media campaigns, overall website traffic and lead generation, trade show appearances, and publications is due in part thanks to their efforts.Being able to routinely sit down, both in-person and virtually, with the team at Cutwing is great. Collaborating and bouncing ideas off of their subject matter experts, coupled with their willingness and transparency to share real-world marketing strategies and tactics is really what sets them apart from the competition.

Cutwing Marketing is a breath of fresh air in the world of marketing agencies. We vetted out six agencies when we selected Cutwing Marketing. We selected one other and fired them within three months. Most of Cutwing's competitors had more revenue, fancier offices, and lots of sales overhead. Cutwing Marketing was exactly what we were looking for - smart, strategic-minded people who are great and quick at executing the work. We are a fast-changing software company with extremely high expectation of our vendors. Cutwing Marketing doesn't over promise and so far, they always over deliver. They have done a wide range of work for us including but not limited to: advising on our Hubspot website, rebuilding our Hubspot website on Wordpress, crafting strong press releases, building out campaigns, and supporting all our social media strategy. Partner with Cutwing Marketing, and you will not be disappointed!

Carl and Andrea are amazing! They designed a unique, eye catching, flyer that I was proud to display! I would absolutely work with them again, and have found myself looking for excuses to do so.
