Happy National Unicorn Day! While actual unicorns might be elusive, the phenomenon of a small business blossoming into a thriving, high-growth “unicorn” company is very real. It’s a story of innovation, agility, and a deep understanding of how to leverage technology to overcome challenges.
At Bloom & Branch, a boutique marketing agency, the team initially struggled with managing client projects and internal communication. Emails overflowed, deadlines slipped, and collaboration felt fragmented. Amelia, a junior project manager, recognized this as a critical bottleneck. She championed the adoption of a new project management tool that integrated with their internal communication platform.
“It wasn’t just about using a tool,” Amelia explains. “It was about changing how we worked. We started using visual boards to track progress, assigning tasks with clear deadlines, and using automated notifications to keep everyone informed.”
The impact was immediate. Project delivery times shortened, client satisfaction soared, and the team found they had more time for strategic thinking and creative work. Bloom & Branch saw a 30% increase in revenue within six months.
The key takeaway? It's not about the tool itself, but how employees like Amelia embrace technology to streamline workflows, foster collaboration, and deliver exceptional results. Smaller companies that are willing to act quickly and adapt are often best suited to take advantage of opportunities.
