SunDay

This client came to Local Collaborative with the beginnings of a beach towel company. She would offer unique and fun patterns to break through the boring and mundane industry. Not only did we immediately offer several marketing ideas for her anticipated launch schedule, we completed a Branding + Positioning Strategy for her which provided a color palette, logo and messaging under a new name.

Based on the goals of the company and the desired outcome to the clients, SunDay appealed as a Lover and Jester brand to us. We narrowed down her audience, the do’s and don’ts of the company and, everyone’s favorite part, the words, voice and tone compiled in a brand bio.

Understanding what someone in the industry says is fine and great but don’t we all love to see it come to life? YES! We included patterns, symbols, colors, fonts and this moodboard to incapsulate the brand’s content and inspiration.

The client loved the monochromatic palette and agreed we should lean in to the feminine/retro vibe. She decided on this as her final logo.

We’re excited for SunDay to get on the market and for everyone to Lay Down Luxury!

Veterans Village

Nonprofit marketing is usually the first thing to take a hit when it comes to budget cuts. What’s seen as a luxury is actually a necessity. The message, purpose and drive of an organization has no way of reaching those they’re trying to help if they

1) Don’t know you exist

2) Don’t know how to connect with you (because they can’t find you and/or

3) Don’t know what to search for

It’s also detrimental when trying to raise donations. We get it.

When you’re changing people’s lives being on Facebook is likely the last place you want to be, granted you understand how to use it effectively, and updating a website has been sitting on that back burner for…well, a long time.

Veterans Village in Washington state reached out because they understood how important this was and meetings that would grant them large amounts of funding was the push they needed.

Before, the website was in the ‘get the job done’ phase. They had some photos, information and (as seen in the last slide) some unfinished touches. It was difficult to find among the other chapters and they wanted to portray their business online as professional as they were in person.

AFTER

Just like their tagline says the website now evoked quality and a clear purpose. We redid their copy, updated the services and offerings, modernized the features and put the focus on the residents. Updated SEO words and phrases made it easier for potential clients to find them and provided information that matched the handouts given to potential donors.

There’s no question Veterans Village is doing great things for those who served our country and a face lift to the site provides an updated, current and helpful next step for those seeking a renewed independence and purpose. View The Live Website

Jessica Jenkins & Associates

Local Collaborative developed a relatable and professional brand for Jessica Jenkins & Associates. What started as an idea and hope in her mind turned into a classic, trendy and modern brand that speaks to legal professionals looking for staffing solutions and participants wanting to participate in research studies.

When You Need To Secure Excellence

Jessica Jenkins & Associates Recruiting & Marketing Solutions (JJ&A) raises the bar when it comes to recruiting solutions. Founder, Jessica Jenkins, formed a recruiting and marketing agency in 2020 with a clear vision:

Provide custom recruiting and staffing solutions in the most efficient and influential way possible. As anyone in the research industry knows, this starts with getting the right people’s opinions to you. You know the task, we know your people.

JJ&A’s brand included Jessica’s favorite words and colors as well as exuding her Hero & Sage brand archetypes. We collaborated on perfecting her logo and continuously updated her website until it was not only functional but beautiful. Our goal was to bring the recruiting and marketing personality to make her stand out from other stuffy recruiting agencies in the industry.

Check out her website here.

One of the additional items we created for the website was creating a participant form that would be forwarded to her email account upon completion. JJ&A is set to launch in 2020 and now has a strong brand foundation and website for clients and potential talent alike! This project was so fun to balance both worlds and we’re excited to see how she brings them together.

Kayla Braaten Photography

Kayla and I met when I was taking headshots for Local Collaborative (yes, the ones you see all over the website, blog and Instagram!) She is insanely talented, kind and highly sought after in our area here in NC.

While shooting she mentioned the need for a website revamp to match the quality of photos she had taken. Kayla had a unique scheme and look she was going for so we complimented the photos with a moody yet clean and fresh layout. We added an FAQ section on her website to help clientele learn more about Kayla’s business.

She previously had a Squarespace website but, after hearing from photographers and other website builders, we decided to build out a website on ShowIt. You can check out her website here!

There were a few other stats we paid close attention to and you might find it useful to check in on your own website.

January 2019 to May 2019

She had 474 Unique Visitors.

82 percent of visits are on mobile. Making sure the site was configured for both desktop and mobile is always mandatory!

While 77 percent of her clientele interact on her socials, Instagram (41) and Facebook (215) , a majority of her visits were coming from Google. This meant that the blog built into the website would showcase her best portfolio work and relevant topics Kayla wanted to speak on. The more keywords you can add on your site and content on top of linking as many pages and topics as possible the easier potential clients can find you!

Now she is able to showcase her best work, raving reviews and more!

Cheers!

		We had Marin look at our business image. I was very impressed with her analysis. It was in depth and revealed some very important areas where we needed to improve or change. She brought up strategies I hadn’t even thought of and will implement. Donze & Associates would heartily recommend her to any other company.

		I am a new small business owner and had no idea where to start when it came to social media and website design. I am an avid Facebook user but wasn’t quite sure how to direct my FB business page to a central hub/website.

After compiling a killer business proposal, Marin met with me one-on-one to discuss my business and get an understanding of what I was wanting. She was professional, respectful of my time and patient/understanding when it came to my lack of technology skills! In a short amount of time, she set up my website, domain name and business email address and updated and linked all my social media accounts to my website.

I now have just one place to run my business and it has made my life so much easier! She communicated with me often and had me up and running quickly. I cannot recommend her and her services enough! You will not regret hiring Local Collaborative for your business needs.

		Local Collaborative and Marin have been such a huge blessing in recreating and re-branding my new blog site! I simply could not have done it without her. Go check out what she had to say and visit her site. 😁 Marin, thank you so much for jumping starting my re- brand! It has been so fun to work together after the years. You do amazing work, and I can’t wait until my finishing touches are complete 🙂 Thank you, thank you! 💜

		Local Collaborative is such a great business to work with. Marin assisted me with my website redesign and gave me some marketing tools and tips to further advance my business. Within a week of my hiring her, my website was complete! She was efficient, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. On top of that, she was so patient and answered every single question I had. She took the time to explain to me each step in the process, in addition to giving me a walk through of the new platform so that I would be able to make any small changes on my own. I now feel that I can begin the next step in my career as a photographer, with a website that reflects my style and who I am. Thank you so much Marin!

Marin is professional and talented and I would absolutely use her again!

Megan Creative Visionary

Megan and I have known each other since we were kids so growing up so working together in the creative branding, marketing and graphic design world just seemed to make sense. In fact, we partnered on several of the other brands you’ll find in the portfolio before even touching each other’s companies.

“But, Marin, wouldn’t helping the competition hurt your business?”

Nope. Not worried about that. Why?

Because there are millions and billions of people out there (freelancers, small agencies, large agencies) who are more than capable of helping. But it’s WHO you can afford, who is nearest, and who you connect with.

We often reference each other for help with industry questions or collaborate on client projects. The entire Local Collaborative vision is being lived out daily because we know two creative, strategic brains are better than one.

Since Megan is a web and graphic design pro, my suggestions for logo and web design were paired with a strategic approach and I offered solutions to her biggest question: Target Audience and Brand Clarity.

I’ve written tons of articles on these topics. You can check out the blog for posts like this and this.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

As with every Branding + Positioning Strategy, we developed (and focused heavily) on WHO Megan was serving, WHAT they wanted and WHY they were coming to her.

When you find out what potential customers are looking for, you can use the vocabulary and thoughts they use in your own copy to resonate and serve them. Ding, Ding, Ding!

We also had some fun with that copy, letting her personality show through in her bio. This was another focus of ours since her full-time career as a racer held an entirely different persona than this feminine, creative business.

Megan is located in Kansas however her #laptoplifestyle allows her to work with a variety of brands across the world. If you’re interested in working with us, schedule a FREE Discovery Session and check out her website and Instagram below.

Johnson Homes Team

Kate has been a well-respected, Five Star Award Winning Realtor in the KC/MO area for years. Through that time she’s navigated what she does and doesn’t like, what turns clientele into raving fans and the direction she wants to grow her business. She decided it was finally time to get herself a logo and solid brand!

Kate’s company regulates a majority of their branding and rules so we stuck in those guidelines and added her personality and focused on her Unique Selling Proposition (USP) to set her apart from a very competitive market.

BEFORE LOCAL COLLABORATIVE (Jan 2019):

Facebook : 486 likes, 477 follows.
Average Organic Reach: 162
Instagram Followers: June 2019 319

CURRENTLY

Facebook: 648 likes (+162) 648 followers (+171)

Average Organic Reach: Avg. 290-345 (This is an increase of 183 or 112.96%)

Instagram Followers: 381 (+62 since June 2019)

I worked with Megan on created a logo followed by an animated logo as seen above. We also created social media graphics to accompany a strategic monthly marketing approach which has converted in several referrals, traffic and sales.

Being able to create and manage Johnson Homes Team’s social media and online marketing approach has allowed her to focus on her business, clients and family while still publishing frequent content with a strategic approach. We have seen a great response from the clientele and after implementing and reviewing for several months we’ll add in the exact numbers.

Soul Purpose

Danette and I met years ago through 4-H and thanks to the assistance of the internet and our business passions, have finally been able to work together!

Danette had a blog as a side venture/hobby for a year before she decided she wanted a re-brand. We changed her name, streamlined blog topics, set her up for a future growth plan and inserted strategic approaches to approach her audience.

As many personal brands can attest, the scariest part about beginning something new is putting yourself out in front of those who know you. You get major imposter syndrome. We came up with some solutions to overcome potential issues and she has a fantastic mindset.

I created the new branding of Soul Purpose to match her main pillars, business outlook and colors and fonts to compliment her mission. While balancing a full-time job, she is in the process of converting her website and social media. I’m excited with the small daily changes and commitments she does to move the needle in her business. I can’t wait for her future business partnerships and accomplishments to come up!

While there were some issues with claiming a domain, she was finally able to purchase an available URL! You can check out her website here.

Nichole Graham Realtor

Nichole was full of life, personality and charisma and she wanted branding that would help portray that to potential customers. Local Collaborative revived the copy, marketing approach, delegated a target audience and receiving referrals and reviews from past clients.

Here are some mock-ups from our logo ideas. We played with her favorite color, turquoise, glitter, traditional house shapes and non-traditional realtor logos.:

Her goal in the future is to start up another creative edge to her business so we focused branding around her name, purchased and adapted a URL and always had growth on the mind. I always like to create a mood board for clients on ideas for content, cover imagery, and an overall feel for their brand’s archetype.

I had a great time working with Nichole and her high energy. If you’re looking for a realtor in the Kansas City area,

Dabble Mini Farm and Floral

This Branding + Positioning project was just as adorable and fun as the name sounds.

This mini farm and start-up floral business in Petal, MS (Again…how perfect) is starting out with a tough sell as the new guy in a good ol’ boy town. They’re biggest challenges when they approached Local Collaborative were needing a logo, branding package and creative ideas on how to approach their new market to bring in business.

We wanted to bring a feminine, floral and dainty logo that we could use on all digital and printed marketing materials. Here were a few mock-ups and logo options.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

We developed fun copy for her bio and projects, outlined a marketing approach including seasonal product ideas and focused on their tagline

“Homegrown In Petal. Handcrafted With Happiness.”

Even if the locals were difficult to hop on board we focused on bringing in nearby college students and young females as the target audience. This was a brand full of personality and exuding a fun experience. We had a great time supporting another female and military-spouse owned company and are excited to see what they do!

IF YOU’RE looking at launching your passion into a business , PLEASE REACH OUT HERE. WE love creating your dream come true!

Undergrad Projects & Clients

During my undergrad I had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients through Kansas State University creating campaigns, copy, designs, social media approaches and much more.

One of these courses included a summer internship with the highly awarded and recognized Bailey Lauerman Advertising Agency. My internship team and mentors allowed me to work with high-profile clients including Cuties, Mighties, Panda Express and meeting Alex Borstein as a representative for our non-profit event at the College World Series.

While these were not clients through Local Collaborative (in fact several years before we even existed) it still fueled my passion for creatively marketing businesses and gave me the strategic background to assist my clients.

REFERCO

This was a combination effort for an entire business based around an author/speaker, his events, his books, his clients and more. As a Marketing Manager at REFERCO I was tasked with numerous communications jobs. Some of the titles and sections I operated on were REFERCO, Generosity Generation, CATALYST*, Certified Referral Trainers & other programs.

I implemented a monthly newsletter for coaching clients, 12-month calendar for weekly coaching tasks, copy/creative writing for weekly blog & newsletter, social media management. Scheduled print, audio & visual features & scheduled webinar guests & created challenges, research, conducted surveys, established systems & campaigns, oversaw concepts, streamlined branding/design & live events. I created several channels of communication and experienced the many responsibilities of a small team. *I didn’t create/don’t own gold logo in above slideshow.*

While working at REFERCO as a Marketing Manager I was tasked with promotion and communication of his Bestseller (7L). Maher’s book is the foundation and most popular form of referral to his live events and coaching programs. I shared testimonies, reviews and current standings in the Amazon Marketplace where (7L) is consistently ranked in the Top Row for business books. I used the material for newsletters and content posts and assisting his coaching clients among other promotions.

Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents by Michael J. Maher and Hal Elrod

While working at REFERCO, I was tasked with promotional strategy, public relations and indirect sales for The Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents (MMREA). Maher used this book as the structure for his #30Mornings challenge, one of REFERCO’s most popular programs. As the Marketing Manager, I shared testimonies and reviews, monitored the rankings in Amazon’s Marketplace and shared the successes of the book. I used material from the book for newsletter and content posts, a monthly promo offer for purchase and guidance for those taking the challenge.

Thomson Team Training

Thomson Team Training (TTT) was founded February 1, 2016. They built up a referral-based business (something every business dreams of) and firmly stated their mission statement, tagline and basic branding position.

EMPOWER. ENCOURAGE. EQUIP.

However they were gaining clients like crazy, developing new clients, building their team, creating new programs and being full time wives/mothers at the same time. It was time to bring in some help for their questions and to reach their goals more efficiently without letting their personal or professional lives suffer!

December 2018, Thomson Team Training joined up with Local Collaborative to gain engagement and influence in social media, formulate new campaign and launch approaches, create graphics and boost their email marketing campaign (CRUCIAL for any business. This isn’t going anywhere!)

One Week Reach in November was 451 impressions and 5 visits
One Week Reach in March increased to 251,1242 impressions, average of 17 interactions taken on posts. 15 profile visits, 1 website click, 1 call.

Donze & Associates

Jay’s Review

Donze & Associates is a small insurance firm in Olympia, WA and faced struggles most small businesses are: HOW do we get WHAT we want to WHO we want?

They had a website and Facebook page but were struggling with what content would attract their ideal clients. We branded their online and printed business materials to resemble their service of trustworthiness, honesty and service first. Their biggest challenge was focusing on one cohesive message and adding a call to action.

After seeing their personalized plan, Donze & Associates implemented the suggestions to revamp their website and pursue SEO; making both user-friendly. Their new approach helped reach their target audience and provided them with ideas for their own personal side businesses and hobbies.

Shannon Nicole Coaching

Shannon came to Local Collaborative with a big dream in mind: Create a women’s mindset coaching program. While she was still working her full-time job, she wanted to explore the opportunity of mindset coaching. Shannon is passionate about reaching out to women to share her story, perspective on mindset and tips, strategies and advice on how to reach your best self.

Local Collaborative took her starting point and created a Branding + Positioning Strategy for her ideal client.

It also included included a mission statement, logo, outreach strategies and her tagline:

Her materials will attract and be visually appealing to attract and retrain clients; the main goal while starting out.

Since implementing, Shannon has been able to use her platform for engagement, influence and an outlet for her creative, intellectual and successful mindset placement. Her audience has become raving fans of hers and she continues to use her skills in her coaching business as well as full-time job for an influence bigger than herself.

Brunker Land & Cattle

Brunker Land & Cattle had a strong tagline lasting with the family operation for over five generations.

“Faith. Family. Farming. Our roots run deep.”

They have their initial audience but needed to improve their online platforms for a future goal of expanding their business. We collaborated to create a cohesive brand for their family-owned farm. They had started a social media presence but were in need of a focused approach and a website.

Local Collaborative updated and created a logo, Branding + Positioning Strategy, website and re-vamping the social media approach to attract the audience they wanted for their goals. With platforms to direct their clients and buyers to they are now able to regularly update their photos, copy and content as their herd requires.

We have established a solid campaign and platform on their website, Facebook and are developing into circuits, Instagram and other platforms. While building a website that would be easy to edit and manage, I set up an email marketing campaign to thank and bring back referrals. I also set up their Google SEO to optimize chances of being seen by their target audience.

Trade Winds Interior Design

Trade Winds Interior Design has been in business for over 10 years but came to Local Collaborative with a blank slate. They were aware of at least 40 percent of potential clientele they missed due to lack of an online presence. Trade Winds Interior Design chose a logo, revamped their Facebook page and re-did their website. We created business cards and were able to collaborate with outside resources for referrals as needed on the business.

Trade Winds Interior Design has increased their business, network and revenue by implementing their brand’s persona and focusing on their niche. They were presented with new marketing outreach ideas and provided a base to build the future of their business and portfolio on.

Trade Winds Interior Design was debuted April 2018. We are currently revisiting the second piece of the brand by completely overhauling an abandoned website, shooting content and distributing the material through her channels.

The Egglady’s Daughter

The Egglady’s Daughter is a sole proprietor company whose original focus was in creating custom wood signs. She wanted her focus to shift to shipping DIY Kits and pre-made signs to free up her time and increase revenue.

She came to me with a logo, a long-term image and a big end goal in mind. She has established an audience & voice but needed assistance with her online presence and the tools to support her orders and take control of her schedule.

I provided her with a branding strategy and marketing portfolio to help her reach her goals. By establishing and setting up her online platforms, she was able to focus on working IN her business and not ON it. I was able to customize her website by coding a few of our favorite fonts on the back-end of development. It was the perfect collaboration of our strengths to maximize the reach and service to her audience.

Cricket’s Loft

Currently known as Crickets in the Loft, Crickets is an in-home restaurant that caters to small groups by invitation only. They are a small-town’s best-kept secret and are located south of Kansas City, Kansas. Crickets is currently on the market for new ownership and a possible owner requested a marketing plan before she bought the business and property.

I wanted to bring out the tradition, high-quality service and comfort of this hometown secret. We were inspired by the intimacy of a loft and experience of sharing great food and drinks with your closest friends. I paired sturdy fonts with masculine colors to represent the solid foundation of their reputation. This was complimented with the natural earth tones and cursive fonts for the comfort and familiarity a farmhouse in the country brings you.

I developed a complete rebranding with proposals to develop their image as attracting new clientele isn’t a current challenge they’re facing. To enhance their clientele’s experience, returning or new, I created a Client Experience System which included a customized menu adjusted in real-time and a follow-up strategy. I provided connections for renovations and real estate photography to not only enhance their image but provide quality networks, vendors and partnerships in the community.

My 12-month promotional strategy alleviated the worry of ROI for the new owner and I was requested for further research and ideas for revenue generation. I also conducted market research, collected reviews and will develop an online presence upon final purchase.
