01 / Challenge
Four brands. Four audiences. Four growth teams operating in parallel, and quadruple the cost of running four separate growth programs. The portfolio needed a unified architecture that respected each brand's distinct audience and positioning while sharing the technical, content, and analytics infrastructure underneath.
02 / Approach
We delivered a 28-week phased growth and implementation plan as a board-grade document: portfolio-level KPI framework, three shared infrastructure layers (technical, content, analytics), brand-distinct positioning maintained on top, week-by-week implementation roadmap with milestones, and a portfolio-level reporting cadence. The plan was designed to be executed by the existing internal teams with our oversight, not re-handed to an outside vendor.

The portfolio now operates with one growth architecture instead of four. Shared infrastructure removed redundancy without forcing brand convergence. The 28-week milestone document is the operating cadence the leadership team now runs against.
- Four brands on one shared growth architecture
- 28-week phased implementation plan with weekly milestones
- 12-metric portfolio KPI framework
- Three infrastructure layers shared across all brands
- Plan executable by internal teams; no vendor handoff required
