How The Social Bungalow Enhanced Their White-Glove Student Experience With ClickUp
Wednesday Jan 25, 2023
Wednesday Jan 25, 2023
Shannon Matson is devoted to helping others structure and market their businesses for exceptional growth. With comprehensive experience in marketing and advertising, her goal is to educate business owners on entrepreneurship, content creation, and fostering community so that they can structure ingenious online businesses and step into their unique role as CEO. With her ever-growing client base and chaotic internal management systems, Shannon invested in us to help her build systems to take the chaos out of managing their programs and team projects.
Our goal in building out ClickUp for Shannon was to systemize her internal business management operations, with a highlighted focus on two major pain points: their team and program management processes. We focused on optimizing her program management and team management systems so that both systems could run smoothly on the backend without consistent monitoring; allowing Shannon and her team to focus on high-priority projects and goals.
