1. Objective

To analyze and map the end-to-end workflows of SayPro’s digital marketing systems, identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks, assess integration with M&E and programmatic systems, and provide actionable recommendations for streamlining operations and increasing ROI of digital outreach.

---

2. Rationale

SayPro’s digital marketing efforts span a wide array of platforms—social media, email, SMS, website content, and CRM systems—but current workflows are often fragmented, with duplicated efforts, manual tasks, and limited feedback loops. A structured workflow analysis will:

• Improve coordination across marketing, program, and M&E teams
• Identify automation opportunities
• Reduce resource waste
• Strengthen data flow and impact alignment
• Inform future system upgrades and staff training

---

3. Scope of Analysis

The workflow analysis will cover the entire digital marketing lifecycle, from planning to performance reporting, across the following systems:

Platform / Tool	Included Functions
Social Media (Meta, X, LinkedIn, TikTok)	Content creation, scheduling, community management, analytics
Website (WordPress/CMS)	Content publishing, SEO, analytics, lead conversion
Email Marketing (Mailchimp)	Campaign setup, segmentation, automation, tracking
CRM (HubSpot)	Contact management, behavior tracking, campaign integration
Analytics Tools (GA4, Power BI)	Traffic analysis, performance dashboards, UTM link monitoring
SMS/WhatsApp (Twilio)	Blast messages, two-way feedback, engagement analytics
Design Tools (Canva, Adobe)	Asset production, branding, and internal sharing processes

---

4. Methodology

Step	Activity
Process Mapping	Document current digital marketing workflows using flowcharts and RACI matrices
Stakeholder Consultations	Conduct interviews and focus groups with marketing, M&E, and program teams

Gap & Redundancy Analysis	Identify manual tasks, duplicated steps, approval delays, or disjointed systems
Workflow Simulation & Testing	Test use cases to assess real-world execution across multiple teams

---

5. Key Focus Areas
