Context
A national franchise network needs one brand but dozens of local launches. My job at HQ was to turn central marketing strategy into launch plans that worked in Bhubaneswar, Delhi, Bengaluru and Guwahati.
Strategy
A repeatable launch playbook: local Meta lead-gen campaigns to build a list, content that speaks to parents in that city, then offline events and invitations that turn leads into trial sign-ups.
What I owned
- Launch marketing coordination for 6+ franchise openings.
- Meta ads and lead generation, with an external agency — I managed them and executed parts myself.
- Offline events, parent/child invitations and sign-up drives.
- Marketing boot camps for new franchise owners.
- The franchisee newsletter and day-to-day marketing support.
Results
150+ leads generated across launch campaigns, with a ₹10 lakh+ activation budget managed.
What I learned
Enablement is marketing. The launches that went best were the ones where the franchise owner understood the plan as well as HQ did — which is why the boot camps mattered.
