Additional Considerations

Certain projects may require extended timelines due to their complexity or external dependencies. Several notable areas are highlighted below.

  • Vendors: Initiatives involving external vendors may require additional time for procurement, contracting, legal and IT processes and reviews.
  • Printing: Large-scale printing projects typically need three to six additional weeks to produce after work is completed based on printing complexity and vendor production capacity.
  • New marketing campaigns: Strategic campaigns requiring new messaging, creative assets, multi-channel promotions, and/or 
    technical infrastructure to deliver a cohesive audience experience often need six months or more for effective deployment after project agreement and goal setting.
