Stay calm: Panicking won't solve problems. Assess the impact: Understand how changes affect deadlines, budget, and strategy. Communicate clearly: Update stakeholders promptly and honestly. Be flexible: Adapt plans while maintaining core campaign goals. Prioritize tasks: Focus on the most critical elements. Leverage resources: Seek help from team members or external experts if needed. Learn from changes: Use this experience to improve future planning.

It happens. First, confirm that the client is absolutely certain of the shift and whether it's the right thing to do. If so, salvage what you can from existing work and see what work may be adaptable. Then move on. See if working as a group is more or less efficient at that point. Proceed accordingly. Order good food. You're all in this together.

In the heat of an urgent campaign, sudden client requests can be tricky, but they’re a chance to show adaptability. Prioritize tasks to align with new goals, communicate these shifts clearly to your team, and stay flexible while setting boundaries to keep expectations realistic. Balancing client needs with campaign momentum is key to success.

Just don't panic... Quickly evaluate how the new demands will affect the campaign’s timeline, resources, and overall goals. Determine if adjustments are feasible without compromising the campaign's success.

Reiterate the deviation in timing and schedule with your client to prospect for a commonly accepted timeline for the new changes in project tasks. Work with your operations or project manager to figure out the internal implications of your external team as a vendor and figure out what solutions will be within the current scope of service commitments. Communicate such project changes in change of scope of services to manage client expectations as a service vendor. Be flexible with your client requests as long as the resources expended are within your service budget scope. Pause all activities until an approval or mutual agreement is made in the changing course of actions with your client otherwise.
