Getting Started

This guide outlines how we partner with you from discovery through to go-live, and what you can expect during onboarding. Our approach is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a clear path to success.

The Zitcha Onboarding Journey

1. Discovery & Scoping

We start by learning your business.

  • Deep-dive sessions to understand your business model, customer journeys, and media mix (onsite, offsite, in-store).
  • Mapping requirements across data, creative, governance, and reporting.
  • Identifying quick wins as well as long-term growth opportunities.

2. Scope of Work & Agreement

Next, we agree on the framework.

  • Define a tailored onboarding package aligned to your objectives.
  • Confirm timelines, responsibilities, and commercial terms.
  • Formal sign-off ensures clarity and commitment from all stakeholders.

3. Implementation Planning

Together we set the roadmap.

  • Develop a phased implementation plan (technical and commercial).
  • Align milestones with your marketing calendar.
  • Establish KPIs and success measures early.

4. Kick-Off & Enablement

We get everyone aligned.

  • Host a kickoff session with your project and marketing teams.
