  • Partner with media agencies to brief pre-sale strategy and ensure campaigns go live on time.
  • Walk franchisees through media strategy and budget expectations before launch.
  • Monitor pre-sale performance daily and weekly: leads, CPL, conversion rates, and membership counts against targets.
  • Communicate results to franchisees and translate data into clear, actionable guidance.
  • Work with agencies and Franchise Business Coaches to intervene quickly when locations underperform, adjusting creative, spend, or strategy as needed.
  • Manage the transition from pre-sale offer to grand opening, coordinating messaging and channel priorities for momentum at open.
