The crisis.

Profitable Media’s largest client relationship (7-figure annual contract) was deteriorating rapidly. An 8-figure health and wellness company was experiencing critical delivery issues:

  • 01 Inconsistent work pace leaving audiences untested.
  • 02 QC failures that were difficult to reproduce and resolve.
  • 03 Communication breakdowns with the media buying partner.
  • 04 Sprint planning failing due to rapid hypothesis changes.
  • 05 Work abandoned mid-development, wasting resources.
// 02

The turnaround.

I took operational control of the entire account and implemented systematic improvements:

  • PRIORITY SYSTEM
    Abandoned failing sprint planning for a priority-based system with pipeline constraints.
  • QC AUTOMATION
    Built automated QC processes and root cause analysis frameworks.
  • CAPACITY MODEL
    Created complexity scoring system for capacity planning and resource allocation.
  • HIRING
    Hired and trained 6 developers specifically for this account.
  • ACCOUNT MGMT
    Trained 2 Account Managers for dedicated client communication.
  • VISIBILITY
    Implemented metrics dashboards for pipeline visibility and pace monitoring.

Operational innovation.

Developed a flexible priority system that allowed rapid pivoting based on test results while maintaining consistent output. Primary verticals now maintain continuous testing with 2 additional tests always ready to launch at any time.

// OUTCOME

What shipped, in numbers.

  • 01 7-figure annual contract preserved.
  • 02 6 developers hired and trained on the new operational playbook.
  • 03 Automated QC and root-cause-analysis frameworks running in production.
  • 04 Complexity scoring and metrics dashboards adopted across the agency.
