The Challenge

A health and wellness company wanted to add direct client acquisition channels through marketing campaigns (ads + landing pages) that could both educate and convert prospects

Our design (left) sticks close to the existing brand and focuses on user needs — “login, start journey, search for your coach” — over style & tone of voice.

Context

We recognized an opportunity to provide additional value to the marketing team by creating an internal solution alongside the work provided by their contracted agency partner.

This later turned into an even bigger opportunity for our team to redesign the whole marketing site.

The Growth Impact

This 22% conversion improvement directly impacted the company's ability to scale beyond coach-dependent acquisition — exactly the kind of growth lever passionate founders need.

While the external agency required a three-month timeline and significant budget allocation, our internal approach delivered superior results in two weeks — proving that small teams don't need massive resources to outperform traditional agencies.
