Literally.
We kickstarted the project in order and without any margin for error. We needed to get the templates up a month before each related holiday and were already running behind.
Each day we'd send a few design options to Mailchimp, receive their feedback, iterate, and get approval. During the next morning we'd code, test and deliver.
