For many marketing leaders—whether you’re the director, VP of marketing, or a creative lead—the real challenge isn’t just choosing a better marketing model; it’s implementing it smoothly. Questions arise: How complicated will onboarding be? How will this fit into our existing workflows? How soon before we start seeing results?
Savage Global Marketing’s hour-based subscription plans are designed to be straightforward and frictionless. By following a clear, step-by-step roadmap, you’ll find that integrating the subscription model and Lionshare.app into your ecosystem is not only easy, but also accelerates your path to measurable ROI. Let’s walk through the process, so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 1: Initial Kick-Off Call and Goal Setting
Your journey begins with a discovery call. You’ll meet with Savage Global Marketing’s sales team to clarify your marketing goals and understand your brand’s unique challenges. This conversation ensures that both sides share a clear vision from the start.
Step 2: Customizing Your Hour-Based Plan
Next, we’ll help you select a subscription tier that matches your scope and complexity. This might mean starting with a smaller hour block to test the waters or jumping right into a more robust plan if you have multiple campaigns running concurrently.
Hour-based models are inherently flexible, you’re never locked into a fixed set of deliverables. Instead, you get a set amount of hours every month that can be adjusted as your needs evolve. For example, you might allocate 40% of your initial hours to a paid media blitz and 60% to content creation. Over time, these percentages can shift based on performance data and changing priorities.
Step 3: Seamless Technical Integration with Lionshare.app
Lionshare.app is the engine that powers transparency, allowing you to see how where your marketing budget is being allocated. Integration is straightforward. Savage Global Marketing will provide you with login credentials and a brief tutorial on navigating the platform. Within minutes, you’ll have access to:
- Time tracking of hours estimated and used
- A dashboard summarizing project statuses, deliverables, and due dates
- Simple request forms for submitting new requests
There’s no need for complex software integrations or lengthy IT involvement. Lionshare.app is designed to be user-friendly, ensuring that even non-technical team members feel comfortable right away.
Step 4: Establishing Communication and Reporting Cadences
Open communication is key to a smooth onboarding experience. Early on, you’ll decide how often you’d like status updates, reports, and check-ins. For some clients, a weekly meeting suffices; others might prefer bi-weekly or monthly deep dives.
During these sessions, you can review hour allocation, project progress, and results. If something isn’t hitting the mark, it’s easy to pivot. If a new opportunity arises—like a seasonal campaign or responding to a trending topic—you can reassign hours accordingly. This communication loop keeps you informed and empowered at every stage.
Step 5: Getting Your Team On Board
Internally, you’ll want to brief your marketing team on how the hour-based subscription works. Explain that tasks are now requested via Lionshare.app’s multiple-choice Q&A forms, ensuring clarity and speed. Team members will appreciate the simplicity: instead of multiple emails and Slack messages, one standardized form request ensures details are captured upfront.
This step often leads to immediate efficiency gains. Projects start faster, approvals happen quicker, and everyone understands the strategic rationale behind hour allocations. Over time, this reduces rework, eliminates miscommunication, and frees your team to focus on strategic, high-value tasks.
Step 6: Measuring Early Wins
Implementation doesn’t need to mean a long waiting period before seeing results. Hour-based marketing enables rapid experimentation. Launch a small pilot campaign—maybe test a new ad creative or a niche influencer partnership—and track its performance.
Using Lionshare.app, you’ll see exactly how many hours were invested and what came of it. Maybe you discover that a one-hour tweak to your landing page raises conversions by 10%. These early wins prove the model’s effectiveness and help build confidence within your organization.
Step 7: Scaling and Refining Over Time
As you gather data and insights, scaling becomes a natural progression. Perhaps your initial focus was paid search, but the data shows organic content drives better-quality leads. Reallocate hours toward PPC and content creation. Or if a new market emerges as a promising segment, direct hours to region-specific marketing tactics without overhauling your entire plan.
This continuous optimization is one of the hour-based model’s greatest strengths. It prevents stagnation and ensures your marketing budget is always focused on areas with the highest impact.
Step 8: Long-Term Partnerships and Evolving Strategies
Ultimately, the onboarding process sets the stage for a long-term partnership built on trust, transparency, and flexibility. As you become accustomed to hour-based marketing, you’ll find it easier to launch new campaigns, integrate emerging channels, and respond to market shifts.
The simplicity of onboarding, combined with the ongoing support and adaptability, makes it likely you’ll view Savage Global Marketing not just as a vendor, but as a strategic partner. Together, you’ll refine your marketing approach, scale your successes, and consistently deliver measurable ROI—no matter how your business evolves over time.
