Before and during an engagement, these are the things that make projects succeed. Please confirm you can provide:
A named project owner with authority to make decisions
Access to relevant stakeholders (buying, technical, finance, marketing)
Honest context on constraints — budget, timeline, internal politics
Existing data where available (sales, EPOS, media inventory, rate cards)
Weekly availability for a 30–60 minute check-in during active work
Responsiveness on approvals — delays here delay everything
Clarity on what success looks like, agreed upfront
Willingness to implement recommendations, not just receive them
