Client Projects: Signature Image Website

  • Current status: Website content is heavy; site seems formatable, but there are many pages and a page-limit issue.
  • Page-limit issue:
    • The site has many pages that are hidden; concern about deleting content.
    • Available capacity allows editing about three pages at once.
  • Front-end visibility:
    • Edits appear to be visible to some users but not all; Wix platform complexity means edits may not show up on the live view for all collaborators.
    • Some edits are visible in authoring mode but not in the published view.
  • Proposed workflow to publish content:
    • Take screenshots of pages to share with the client for content and visual review.
    • Obtain client approval on each page before publishing.
    • Publish pages one at a time as they are approved to keep momentum.
  • Action items for the team:
    • Screen and share pages with the client (or Lorenzo) to confirm visibility.
    • Ensure the client reviews content and visuals before publishing.
    • Notify the client about the publishing plan and status.
  • Photos and blog feed:
    • Ongoing content: photos are being collected; blog updates are in progress.
    • Mailer and content strategy: emphasis on storytelling plus a strong call-to-action (CTA).
    • Donation messaging: include donor calls to action and links; discuss payment methods (PayPal and other options).
  • Donations and payment methods:
    • Discussion about how donations should be directed (e.g., PayPal, Clover, or other platforms).
    • Action: send a separate follow-up email to the client about donation setup and preferred payment channel.
  • Plan to collaborate with Kezia or other content leads:
    • Confirm donation workflow and payment gateway details with the client or internal leads.
  • Planning and tracking:
    • If a task isn’t progressing, confirm whether it’s still in planner; update statuses and assign urgent tags when deadlines are at risk.
  • Roles and accountability:
    • AE (Account Executive) role: monitor tasks and ensure deadlines are met; report blockers.
    • Hannah’s role: weekly reviews and reminders to team; escalate if behind schedule.
    • Jasmine’s research report: due Friday; need visibility on status and potential extensions; if extended, mark as urgent.
  • Momentum and safety nets:
    • Emphasis on maintaining momentum in a student-led setting; use of a planner as a safety net to track progress across schedules and experience levels.

TLC and Content Approvals: Reading/Verbal Announcement Video

  • Status: Working on reading/announcement video and related content; progress appears to be on track.
  • Content approval for October campaign (National Dyslexic Month):
    • October is two weeks away; plan to push forward without delay.
    • Question: what is the approval process before posting/publishing content?
    • Recommendation: consolidate all client-facing content into a single deck (e.g., a slide deck) for client review to present the full scope, timelines, and assets rather than sharing pieces piecemeal.
    • Alternative: share a Word document with all components so the client can review and provide consolidated feedback; then forward to web team.
  • Client-facing bundle: Eventbrite, Sponsorship packet, and campaign pieces
    • Use a consolidated deck or Word doc to present to Stratcom and the client for approval.
    • For web updates, keep header and site navigation in alignment with the Eventbrite and sponsorship pages.
    • Strategy: have a cohesive overview of what was done last year and what’s planned this year; aim to present a complete picture rather than scattered elements.
  • Sponsorship and career fair planning: November timeline
    • Budget constraints: small budget; propose website development and strategy planning for this semester; offer a monthly retainer for ongoing work.
    • Sponsorships and competition planning: ongoing discussions; if sponsors are not secured yet, plan for alternative programming (e.g., speaker or showcase).
    • Promotional strategy: create posters; coordinate with volunteers (Daisy involved) and sign-ups; early bird vs. standard pricing.
    • Early bird pricing: propose discount structure; historically, students paid 55 with preregistration and a code; external students and professionals may be charged differently; ensure the code works for KSU students.
  • Roles in sponsorship planning:
    • Daisy quoted as a partner for promotions; her continued involvement expected.
    • Review of the process for updating Stratcom materials and the sponsorship packet; ensure quick turnaround and online accessibility (e.g., update online sponsorship packet link instead of distributing attachments).
  • Deliverables and next steps:
    • Update Stratcom with initial plan and content; ensure the initial campaign is up, with room to expand later.
    • Gather career fair sponsors and add them to the online assets as they come in.
    • Develop social media posts for upcoming sign-ups and participation (e.g., early bird promotions).
  • Timeline and contingency:
    • November timeline approaching; content and sponsorships require alignment; ensure transparent communication with clients about potential changes.
    • If there is a lack of sponsorship by a certain date, adjust the plan accordingly and communicate to stakeholders.
  • Administrative notes:
    • Do not rely solely on last year’s materials; update to reflect this year’s plans and sponsors.
    • Coordination with Stratcom is necessary for quick updates; approval process should be streamlined with a single consolidated package.

Final notes: Roles, deadlines, and next actions

  • Roles recap:
    • AE: monitor task completion, push for deadlines, escalate blockers.
    • Hannah: weekly reminders to the team about status and deadlines.
    • Wendy: review website work; new tasks assigned to Lisa; ensure visibility of tasks in planner.
    • Lisa: handle website content updates and publishing workflow; coordinate with client for sign-offs.

    • Confirm donation method with the client (PayPal vs Clover or other); follow up with a separate email.
    • Finalize Eventbrite details and sponsorship packet; share with Stratcom for online publication; update header and web assets accordingly.

    • What is the final plan for November sponsorships and competition if funding is not secured in time?
