Agency context

Built for agency work, not generic remote hiring.

Marketing agency project management sits between client promises, campaign production, approvals, reporting, and internal handoffs. The operator needs agency context before the board matters.

Working-call vetting
  • A live delivery scenario around an overdue campaign asset, unclear owners, and a client waiting for status.
  • Tool fluency across ClickUp, Asana, Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, and reporting docs.
  • Prompt judgment for converting messy delivery context into precise updates.
AI month one
  • Project-risk summaries from task boards, notes, and client asks.
  • Weekly status drafts with owners, dates, blockers, and next actions.
  • Workflow docs for recurring launches, reporting, approvals, and handoffs.

Every placement includes 4 live 1-on-1 AI instructor sessions in the first four weeks post-placement.
