Client Success Stories & Operational Case Studies

Operations & Workflow Engineering for Digital Agencies

Client: The MVC Agency

Platform Ecosystem: Brevo

The Challenge

As a startup, the agency faced specific operational obstacles:

  • Workflow Errors: The owner tried building the workflows independently but encountered broken triggers, dynamic syntax issues (such as parameter errors in Brevo), and unaligned steps that caused automations to stall.

  • Lack of Scalable Systems: Wanting to avoid building bad manual habits, the agency needed a reliable, set-it-and-forget-it system before taking on high client volumes.

  • Missing Nurture Funnel: The agency lacked an automated nurture pathway to engage and convert warm prospects gathered from events, direct networking, or general inquiries.

  • Manual Hiring Bottleneck: Without a dedicated HR team, vetting, interviewing, and onboarding external specialists manually threatened to drain the owner's time. 

The Solution

Erin Mitchell Consulting engineered three streamlined Brevo automation engines backed by clear SOPs and standardized syntax

  • Client Acquisition & Onboarding: Automates intake forms, discovery scheduling with 24-hr email/SMS nudges, Xero invoicing triggers, Google Drive workspace setup tasks, and review requests upon project sign-off.

  • Warm Lead Nurture Engine: Automatically introduces the agency to event/networking contacts, positions core digital growth services, and drives high-intent leads back to the primary inquiry form.

  • Specialist Recruitment Funnel:Vets candidates at the application level based on compensation requirements, automatically fast-tracking qualified applicants with Google Meet interview links while filtering out non-matches, then delivers onboarding emails with portal access and compliance testing to accepted candidates.

  • Technical Standardization: Corrected broken personalization tags across all workflow actions and built list-movement logic (New Lead Kick-off Ready Warm Leads, etc.) to trigger precise sequences while stopping redundant follow-ups

Results & Key Deliverables

  • Centralized Operational Hub: Fixed all workflow errors into a single, scalable Brevo ecosystem.

  • Zero Manual Follow-ups: 24/48-hr automated nudges eliminated admin oversight for unbooked calls and incomplete onboarding forms.

  • Automated Contractor Hiring: Screening, interview scheduling, rejections, and onboarding now run on autopilot.

  • Complete SOP Playbook & Support: Delivered step-by-step process documentation, full video training, and 30 days of proactive monitoring.

Business Impact

  • Eliminated early technical friction and administrative drag.

  • Fully automated talent acquisition and candidate screening without manual HR oversight.

  • Enabled leadership to focus entirely on business development, lead conversion, and client fulfillment.

Conclusion

By replacing early technical friction with a clean, automated infrastructure, The MVC Agency established a reliable foundation built to support long-term agency growth.
