Corporate merch playbooks — operational guide by program

Catalogue of operational playbooks covering the most common merch programs in Mexican companies: onboarding, events, trade shows, ESG, crisis, pivot, launch, e-commerce, enterprise, export, board meetings and annual roadmap. Each playbook includes brief, phases, roles, timeline, KPIs and typical cases. CFDI 4.0, 16% IVA.

How to use this catalogue

Each playbook covers a specific merch program. The common structure includes: program description and when to apply it, operational phases with deliverables, client and Corp-Merch roles and responsibilities, timeline template with weeks, KPIs to track, and typical application cases. The playbooks are written to be used as an operational guide by marketing, internal communications, HR, events, procurement and operations teams that manage merch programs.

To select the correct playbook, first identify what type of program you are planning or executing: a recurring event (onboarding, trade show, launch, conference), a strategic moment (crisis, pivot, rebranding, board meeting), a compliance framework (audit, ESG disclosure, compliance, LFPDPPP), an annual program (roadmap, recurring program, enterprise account program) or a new operational model (AI-driven merch ops, e-commerce launch, expo debut).

If your program does not fit any of the existing playbooks, we can create a tailored playbook. Each tailored playbook is built on the client brief, industry best practices and similar cases in our portfolio. The tailored-playbook fee is quoted after the initial discovery.
