Here are six things we did to fix the client relationship:
At Vixen Digital, we turned to our core values—honesty, transparency, and respect— to try to mend the relationship. We reflected on where to adjust and grow to realign with the client.
Managing expectations is critical, and it starts during the discovery call. We strive to set realistic goals and communicate openly about what’s achievable. Unfortunately, managing expectations is difficult if the client doesn’t listen to your advice.
We deepened our collaboration with the client’s CRM agency to find common ground. By aligning our efforts, we enhanced first-party data integration into advertising platforms and developed several new recommendations for data accuracy and campaign optimization.
We introduced new data-driven tactics, including:
Setting up a cross-channel custom dashboard
Integrating more data into Looker Studio
Enhancing tracking across Ad platforms
Developed a new testing framework for paid services
These steps aimed to improve campaign performance despite the challenges of reduced data accuracy due to privacy regulations.
We remained proactive and motivated throughout the process, ensuring open communication with the client. Also, we implemented rigorous channel alignment, with weekly client meetings and regular internal check-ins to keep everyone on the same page.
Despite our efforts, communications with the client did not improve. After months of trying to fix the relationship, we faced a pivotal moment where we had to ask ourselves: Do we continue, or is it time to part ways?
