Shepherd Boy Farms
The Next 90 Days — A new operating cadence
April 2026
Where we're going
Starting this week, Shepherd Boy Farms moves to a new operating cadence built around fast, consistent shipping.
The first 14 days lock the brand foundation, take all eleven lifecycle flows live, and put the first paid creative batch in market against the agreed direction. From week three onward, the cadence is 4–5 net-new paid creative concepts shipping per week and 2–3 email blasts per week, with a standing weekly call as the set time to align on outstanding decisions, approvals, and broader strategy.
Everything below describes how that runs.
Where we are
The shipping state of the account today.
7–10 Net-new paid creative concepts shipped over the last 90 days
0 Email blasts sent
0 Lifecycle flows live in Klaviyo
The first thing we lock:
A brand foundation. Every prior creative cycle without one produced revisions; every approval cycle stretched. Locking the foundation in week 1 unblocks shipping cadence for everything downstream.
The new operating system
Four mechanics. Steady-state going forward.
- Standing weekly client call. A set time to align on outstanding decisions, approvals, and broader strategy reviews.
- Weekly written update. Paid creatives shipped this week, blasts sent this week, flow status, what's queued, what needs your eyes. Sent every Monday morning.
- Approved-assets folder. Every creative — paid, email, social — pulls from a single shared library. Nothing ships from elsewhere.
- Decision/feedback log. Every call, every email, every direction-setting message gets captured in a shared log within 24 hours, so context never walks out the door.
Week 1 — Brand foundation
The first deliverable.
Locking the brand foundation this week is the gating unlock for everything downstream — every creative cycle gets faster, every approval gets shorter, and the team stops re-litigating direction with every new piece of work.
We come into this week with a working hypothesis built from prior input the SBF team has already shared. The alignment session this week confirms or corrects, and the output governs every creative cycle from there forward.
Outputs by end of week 1
- Locked brand foundation document
- Approved-assets folder live and populated
- Decision/feedback log live in the shared workspace
- First paid creative batch in flight against the locked foundation
- Email flow creatives finalized, ready for Klaviyo build in week 2
