When you’re busy, marketing is often the first thing to fall apart. But that’s usually a systems problem—not a time problem.
Great marketing systems are designed for chaos. They don’t just scale up—they hold steady when resources are down.
Elements of a Resilient System
- Evergreen content libraries: Build assets that can be used and reused across touchpoints.
- Automated flows: Set it and check it, rather than set it and forget it.
- Decision trees for humans: When someone steps in, give them simple, documented playbooks.
- Centralized planning dashboards: Use Airtable, Notion, or Trello for visibility.
Real Example
An agency client preloaded 3 months of modular content—sorted by season, CTA, and funnel stage. During a team member’s parental leave, they had zero content drop-off.
