About the client

The West Group Australia is a full-service marketing agency that came to Mavlers on behalf of one of their key clients, a large hospitality and entertainment platform operating across sports, fitness, hotels, and signature venue experiences.

The platform runs marketing across multiple business units, each with its own subscriber segments, campaign cadences, and audience expectations.

The challenge - the platform's campaign volume was growing, but internal bandwidth wasn't.

The platform was managing a complex multi-BU SFMC environment, including weekly e-newsletters, solo EDMs, re-engagement journeys, SMS campaigns, and more.

Their internal teams were capable, but increasingly stretched thin. Day-to-day campaign execution was consuming time and attention that should have been going toward strategy, stakeholder relationships, and growth. They needed a reliable resource who could own the execution layer completely, without hand-holding.

Multi-BU complexity

Campaigns across Sports, Fitness, Hotels, Wests, and Signature BUs, each with distinct segments and requirements.

Tight delivery timelines

Error-free execution was non-negotiable, but campaign cadences left little room for rework or delays.

Overloaded internal teams

Internal team was drawn into day-to-day SFMC operations, leaving limited capacity for strategy and high-value initiatives.

Governance & consistency gaps

Maintaining naming conventions, platform best practices, and automation standards across BUs was increasingly difficult at scale.

Our solution - an embedded SFMC execution team that runs campaigns end-to-end

Mavlers stepped in to provide an embedded dedicated resource for SFMC support, owning campaign execution across all business units while the client's internal team focused on strategy and stakeholder relationships.

The scope covered everything from email development and automation design to audience segmentation, SMS execution, and platform governance - operating under SLA-aligned timelines.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud campaign execution
  • End-to-end email development, QA, testing, and deployment across all business units
  • Creation and management of Data Extensions and Lists from client-provided data
  • Automation design, scheduling, and troubleshooting in Automation Studio
  • Audience segmentation and personalization via SQL queries and AMPscript
  • SMS campaign execution across all BUs
  • Standardized naming conventions and platform best practices across templates, journeys, and automations
  • Cross-functional stakeholder support - from list imports to journey deployments

The unique approach taken

Rather than reacting to briefs, Mavlers introduced a structured execution framework designed to eliminate bottlenecks and prevent errors before they happen.

Standardized execution framework

Consistent processes for every campaign type, from brief intake to deployment, across all BUs.

Structured QA at every stage

Multi-checkpoint quality assurance for every email build, automation, and send, reducing rework to near zero.

SLA-driven delivery model

Timelines anchored to the client's campaign calendar to ensure timeliness and avoid a last-minute scramble.

Close stakeholder alignment

Regular touchpoints with the POCs and stakeholders to stay aligned with evolving business priorities.

Hands-on execution across every SFMC module

Mavlers operated across Email Studio, Content Builder, Journey Builder, Automation Studio, and Intelligence Reporting, covering the full breadth of the client's SFMC environment.

Email campaigns

Template-based emails, Content Blocks, Dynamic Content Blocks, weekly eNewsletters, and solo EDMs - built, QA'd, and deployed on schedule across all business units.

Data management & segmentation

CSV imports, Data Extension creation, SQL-based audience segmentation, and AMPscript personalization to ensure the right message reached the right subscriber every time.

Automations & journeys

Re-engagement programs, "We Miss You" campaigns, and scheduled automations to keep subscriber data fresh and journeys flowing + ongoing troubleshooting and optimization.

SMS campaigns

End-to-end SMS execution across all business units, built and deployed with the same rigor as email campaigns.

Our partnership with Mavlers over the last four years has been incredibly successful, enabling us to leverage Salesforce across all our business units. Their team's expertise and professionalism have been instrumental in driving results, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration in the years ahead.

Going beyond the brief - a proactive enhancement the client didn't ask for, but loved

When a transactional email was needed to notify members of updated seating following stadium renovations, basic personalization would have done the job.

Instead, Mavlers proactively developed a custom HTML content block - structured, responsive, brand-consistent, and device-compatible - that turned a routine notification into a polished member experience.

The enhancement was delivered without a specific client request and received strong appreciation from the team. This is how we work: always looking for opportunities to raise the bar.

Result: faster campaigns, fewer errors, and a team that could finally focus on strategy

With Mavlers handling day-to-day SFMC operations, the outcomes were immediate and sustained across the engagement.

  • Accelerated campaign delivery with consistent, on-time execution across all BUs

  • Internal teams redirected to strategy and high-value initiatives, no more execution overload

  • Minimized platform errors and rework through a structured, multi-checkpoint QA framework

  • Strengthened agency partnership - a trusted, reliable extension of the marketing team
