MARKET DOMINANCE

Outperforming Global.

Recent SEMrush data (Apr 15-22, 2026) reveals a massive achievement: PMI Memphis has significantly higher organic search visibility than PMI Global.

75.74% pmimemphis.org Local Chapter Visibility
47.43% pmi.org Global Domain Visibility

This level of local dominance is rare and highly valuable. The foundation we built is working.

Section 06 — The 360 Strategy

Four Pillars.
One Direction.

Each pillar serves a clear purpose and maps to a specific audience. Tap a pillar to explore.

Pillar 01
Certification Pipeline

Attract and convert PMP® and CAPM® candidates. The PMP exam changes July 2026 — a closing window for prospects and an opening for PMI Memphis to be the local authority.

Foundation90 Days
Drive traffic into the certification hub through organic search and AI search citations — already in motion and compounding weekly.
Publish two lead magnets: "The Memphis PM Certification Guide" and "The Memphis PM Salary Survey."
Launch a 3-email welcome sequence for every lead magnet download — same day, day 3, day 7 — routing prospects to Duvoll Education or Shelby.
Publish AI-focused blog content targeting search intent from project managers seeking certification guidance and AI tools — building on the organic traction already compounding.
Open the university conversation now — University of Memphis and Christian Brothers University. One outreach conversation per institution during the 90-day window.
GrowthMonths 4–9
Add a third lead magnet: "PMP Exam Changes July 2026: Preparation Checklist" — captures urgency-motivated prospects during the closing window.
Build dedicated landing pages for high-value non-branded keywords currently dominated by PMI.org.
Initiate a link-building effort targeting PMI.org directory listings, Memphis Business Journal, and the University of Memphis Fogelman College.
VisionYear 2+
Develop a signature course co-produced with Duvoll — strong candidate: Negotiation for Project Managers.
Establish formal partnerships with Mid-South universities to create a referral pipeline of graduating students into the certification path.
Publish an annual "State of Project Management in the Mid-South" report — the data source local media and AI engines reference.
Success at 90 Days

At least one lead magnet live, a functional welcome email sequence, the certification hub beginning to rank for 3–5 non-branded terms, and Shelby handling the majority of pre-enrollment questions without requiring a human.

Pillar 02
Sponsorship Revenue

Convert corporate interest into long-term partnerships. The funnel technology is in place. What remains is the hardest and most valuable part: convincing corporate decision-makers that the Chapter is a credible, ROI-generating partner.

Foundation90 Days
Distribute the Sponsorship Prospectus with three tiers: Bronze ($2,200/yr), Silver ($3,800/yr), Gold ($5,500/yr). Each tier also offers a single-event option.
Identify 10–15 highest-potential Memphis-area corporate targets from the 30 companies profiled during research: FedEx, St. Jude, Baptist, Methodist, AutoZone, International Paper.
Launch a monthly "Sponsor Spotlight" content series — one sponsor featured per month across website, LinkedIn, and newsletter with depth, not a logo wall.
Invite 2–3 senior leaders from target sponsor companies to speak at Chapter meetings or PDD — they experience the quality of the Chapter firsthand.
GrowthMonths 4–9
Develop a "Sponsor Value Benchmark" data set — measurable outcomes a Chapter sponsorship delivers — converting the conversation from "please support us" to "here is your ROI."
Launch a PMI Memphis Jobs Board on the website, with exclusive access for sponsoring companies to post open roles to Chapter members.
VisionYear 2+
Introduce an Enterprise Partnership tier (~$15,000–$25,000/yr) for 2–3 anchor corporate partners: FedEx, International Paper, St. Jude, Baptist, Methodist Le Bonheur, AutoZone.
Elevate the annual Professional Development Day into the Mid-South's signature PM conference — from ~$6,000 toward $10,000–$15,000 in sponsorship revenue.
Success at 90 Days

A professional sponsorship prospectus in circulation, an initial list of 8–12 target companies in active outreach, 1–3 qualified sponsor conversations scheduled, and a monthly Sponsor Spotlight cadence started.

Pillar 03
Member Engagement

Retain, activate, and grow the ~750-member base. Only 4–5% attend monthly meetings. The 95% who don't are the Chapter's largest untapped audience — and the most powerful proof point for sponsors.

Foundation90 Days
Rebuild the newsletter — shorter, storytelling-driven, three segments: one Chapter update, one Sponsor Spotlight, one piece of educational value.
Run a full-base survey in Month 1 — not just the 30–40 attendees, but every member on the roster. The data collected becomes the content calendar for the next 12 months.
Formalize a consistent social cadence: LinkedIn 2–3x/week, Instagram 2x/week, Facebook 1–2x/week. Quality over quantity.
Commit to at least one short-form vertical video asset per month — a 30–60 second clip of a Chapter meeting presenter, a "Meet Shelby" demo, or a PDD segment.
GrowthMonths 4–9
Launch "Project Management Pills" — 60–90 second educational videos using AI-generated avatars. Multiple videos per month without a studio or editing overhead.
Start a "First Tuesday" virtual networking session — 30 minutes, no pressure, first Tuesday of each month. Lower the commitment bar to raise the participation rate.
Activate Lifecycle Automation across the full 750-member base: renewal-anticipation flow, re-engagement flow for inactive members, quarterly NPS pulse survey via Shelby.
VisionYear 2+
Launch a monthly Chapter podcast — initially derived from recorded Chapter meetings, evolving into original conversations with Memphis PM leaders.
Implement engagement scoring in the CRM — track which members attend events, open newsletters, and engage with content, and automate outreach to members at risk of lapsing.
Success at 90 Days

Newsletter relaunched in a branded format, a full-base member survey launched, a consistent social cadence on LinkedIn and Instagram, and the first recorded Chapter meeting published as a public asset.

Pillar 04
AI-Forward Positioning

Own the "AI-Ready Chapter" narrative. This pillar serves all audiences simultaneously. The window to own this narrative is now — before other Chapters start building their own versions.

Foundation90 Days
Make AI the headline thread across all communications — Shelby introduced on website, social, newsletter, voicemail, and sponsorship prospectus.
Maintain and grow AI search visibility across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini through FAQ-style content, Event schema, and authority signals.
Publish 1 AI-focused blog article per month targeting search intent from project managers — topics like "Best AI Tools for PMs" and "How AI is Changing PMP Certification." The blog content already working is proof this strategy compounds.
Pitch a single media story to Memphis Business Journal or Daily Memphian: a local institution moving faster on AI than its national parent organization.
GrowthMonths 4–9
Expand Shelby's knowledge base regularly — every new FAQ, every new event detail, every new sponsor question. The more Shelby knows, the more autonomous the growth engine becomes.
Package the Chapter's AI transformation story for submission to PMI Global as a potential case study or Annual Conference presentation.
VisionYear 2+
Extend Shelby's capabilities into proactive member outreach — AI-powered re-engagement, automated event reminders, and personalized content recommendations at scale.
Position PMI Memphis as the PMI Global reference model for how a Chapter operationalizes AI — speaking engagements, conference presentations, and peer-Chapter advisory invitations.
Success at 90 Days

The "AI-Forward Chapter" narrative woven consistently into all communications, at least one earned media outreach attempt made to local business press, and continued citation across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini for Memphis-area PM queries.

⭐ The Most Important KPI
First Attributable Duvoll Education Enrollment

This is the moment the Chapter stops measuring activity and starts measuring revenue. Every Foundation Tier decision — from lead magnets, to Shelby's Education flow, to the non-branded keyword strategy — ultimately exists to produce this first enrollment, and then the next one.

Section 07 — Shared Responsibility

Two Sides.
One Engine.

This plan works only if both sides execute their respective roles.

Myappics Delivers
  • This Marketing 360 Plan + One-Page companion
  • Supplementary social media content during activation
  • Ongoing maintenance: website, CRM, analytics, Shelby, SEO + GEO
  • Consultative support on strategic questions
  • 16-video knowledge-transfer library for Board members
PMI Memphis Delivers
  • Lead response within 24–48 hours (Shelby handles first-line)
  • Quality of event and member experience
  • Board buy-in and consistency through volunteer turnover
  • Content contribution — Board members are the Chapter's most credible voices
  • Sponsor relationships — Myappics builds the funnel; the Board closes the deal

"Marketing creates the opportunity. The Chapter converts it. Neither side can succeed without the other — and neither side should pretend otherwise."

Section 11 — Risk & Mitigation

Every Plan Has
Failure Modes.

Naming them in advance is how they get managed instead of absorbed. Tap each card to see the mitigation.

Risk 01
Volunteer Capacity
High Probability See Mitigation ↓
The roadmap is deliberately designed around the smallest responsible unit of activity. If capacity drops, trim the roadmap — don't abandon it. Signal openly which initiatives are being deferred.
Risk 02
Board Turnover
High Probability See Mitigation ↓
This document is the institutional memory. The One-Page Plan is the quick-read onboarding for any incoming Board member. Every new Board seat should be oriented to both within their first 30 days.
Risk 03
Slow Lead Response
Medium Probability See Mitigation ↓
Designate a specific Board member as lead-response owner with a standing 24–48 hour expectation. Shelby handles first-line questions; humans are only required for the handful that need personal follow-up.
Risk 04
Brand Inconsistency
Medium Probability See Mitigation ↓
Adopt the simple rule: any content going out publicly must pass a quick brand check — does it look like it belongs with the rest? The supplementary social content Myappics provides establishes the standard.
Risk 05
Premature Expansion
Medium Probability See Mitigation ↓
The Foundation / Growth / Vision tiered structure exists specifically to resist this. Do not touch the Growth Tier until the Foundation Tier is humming. Discipline here is more valuable than ambition.
Risk 06
Loss of AI First-Mover Advantage
Medium Probability See Mitigation ↓
A single well-placed media story, a consistent "Meet Shelby" content presence, and a Project Closeout document submitted to PMI Global are sufficient to lock in the narrative. This is a 3–6 month window, not 12.
Section 14 — What the Board Does Now

Three Commitments.
Today.

The entire plan depends on these three decisions being made at the time of approval.

  • 01
    Name a Marketing Champion or VP of Marketing

    A specific person — not a role, not a committee — whose name appears in Board minutes as the owner of this plan. Without one, every tactic in this document becomes orphaned within weeks.

  • 02
    Commit to 5–8 Hours / Week of Board Volunteer Time

    Combined across the relevant Board members. This is the floor, not the ceiling. The roadmap is designed to be executable within this constraint — but it requires the constraint to be honored.

  • 03
    Approve This Plan and Set the Activation Start Date

    Board approval in May 2026 is strongly recommended. Every week of delay shortens the window to capture the pre-PMP-exam-change demand surge — the single largest certification-demand opportunity in the near-term calendar.
