Strategic Priorities

Friendzy sought a strategic partner to refine and enhance its business development and marketing strategies to drive growth and engagement. A key priority was to evaluate and optimize the current email marketing approach, developing a data-driven strategy to improve outcomes through segmentation and a more targeted, thoughtful outreach plan. Additionally, Friendzy needed a comprehensive content strategy for 2025, aligning monthly themes with marketing efforts to maximize impact.

To strengthen its industry presence, Friendzy aimed to refine its approach to conferences and in-person events, ensuring a more strategic, ROI-driven participation. The organization also required expert guidance on partnership strategies, both in leadership and execution, to expand its network and increase visibility. By implementing a more intentional and structured business development framework, Friendzy positioned itself for sustainable growth and deeper engagement with schools and educators.
