The sun's finally out, which means the summer season has officially commenced. Busy week with some work things finally going out the door, whilst outside of work struck a nice balance of wholesome and making the most of the 30 degrees temps.
Work
Time in meetings: 19.7hrs
- Consultation project: A building consultation project that I'd been single-handedly managing and delivering went live mid week, seeing some positive feedback and results already coming in.
- Good people wins: After what feels like forever, finally seeing some good HR wins for the surrounding team, managing the subsequent processes for these.
- Yet another confidential partnership: Managing the delivery for an upcoming partnership announcement, and our digital committments as part of that.
- Long-range planning: Updated and took the team through our next 6 months, and ensuring we're setup to deliver.
- Email evaluation: Having recently taken on the email team and responsibilities, spent a fair bit of time looking under the hood of Salesforce Marketing Cloud and our following strategy. Starting to pull together a bit of a crib sheet and following recommendations for optimising our email marketing approach.
