Marketing systems audit
See exactly what's slowing your marketing team down.
An audit of your team's operating system — the layer where work gets planned, decided, and shipped.
A fixed-scope, 4-week audit for teams drowning in chaos and unsure where to start. $5,000 flat. No retainer. No open-ended consulting.

04 Teams coordinating across departments with no shared operating picture
What you’ll know by the end of four weeks
What your team is actually doing — vs what leadership thinks it's doing
Where decisions are getting made, delayed, or dropped
Which systems are working, which create friction, and which don't exist
The three highest-leverage changes to make in the next 90 days

About
Laura Siebert.
I'm a Business Systems Architect with 15+ years across marketing, creative operations, product management, and founder roles. My work is built around one principle: you cannot fix what you cannot see.
Most recently, I was Director of Marketing at Meow Wolf Houston, where I built the campaign planning and coordination system that aligned creative, operations, retail, and guest experience teams across a high-volume, high-complexity environment. Before that, I led project management and art direction at Padrón & Co. I also founded and scaled a direct-to-consumer business from $80K to $500K in eight months.
The tools and audits I build come from the same place: a belief that most problems aren't effort problems — they're structure problems. The goal is always the same. Give you a clear picture of what's actually happening so you can make a better decision about what to do next.

Methodology
Seeing the system beneath the story.
A methodology example from experiential entertainment.
situation
A creative team at a large experiential entertainment brand was producing high volumes of campaigns, activations, and partnerships. Each was good on its own. None were connected. Leadership couldn't tell whether the work was adding up. Audiences encountered the brand differently depending on which touchpoint they hit first, eroding the clarity needed to drive attendance and conversion.
the lens
Instead of auditing outputs — campaign-by-campaign, channel-by-channel — I mapped how the work was being planned, decided, and shipped. The question shifted from "are these campaigns working?" to "what coherent story are they telling, and where does the system drop the thread?"
What the lens surfaced
→ Campaigns, activations, and partnerships were being generated in parallel, not sequenced
→ There was no shared narrative spine, so each touchpoint started cold
→ Teams were making decisions without a common operating picture
→ Upper-funnel gaps were being masked by strong lower-funnel ROI
What was built
A single narrative framework — the creative system — that gave every campaign, activation, and partnership a shared entry point. The individual outputs didn't have to change. What changed was how they connected.
The learnings
A well-designed system and an adopted system are two different outcomes. The first is a deliverable. The second is an organizational decision. This engagement clarified — and shapes how the Marketing Systems Audit is scoped today — that visibility has to come first. Without a clear operating picture, teams relitigate the same decisions. With one, they have something to act on. What happens next is the organization's to own, not the auditor's to promise.
You don't need better campaigns. You need to see the operating system those campaigns are running on. That's what the MSA delivers — a structured read on how your team actually works, not a critique of what it produces.
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
-
Description text goes hereNo. The value comes from seeing the full operating picture. Partial scope means partial clarity.
-
No. The audit gives you a sequenced plan your team can execute. If you need implementation support, I can point you toward people who do that work.
-
Larger engagements can be quoted as an Extended Audit. Mention your team size in the intake form.
-
I'd recommend waiting. An audit taken during transition captures the transition, not the operating pattern. The intake form asks about this directly.
-
The intake form filters for fit. If it's not a match, I'll tell you directly — and may be able to refer you to someone better suited.
-
Yes, a mutual NDA can be provided on request.
