How does it All work?

After you've secured your start date and completed onboarding, every project we do follows this process.  We think the best way to deliver a successful project is to have context, which comes from talking with you about the specifics of your business. We're comfortable working on projects that require security clearances, background checks, and professional standards of practice. 

Discovery
1

Research and a well-thought-out plan are the keys to success. When the objectives are clear, everyone understands their tasks, and nothing's left to chance. It is impossible to succeed without first doing proper research. Anyone who doesn't start with discovery is flying blind. 

The discovery phase will give you the confidence that:

  • The right problem is being solved for the right group of people.
  • We're designing based on research in the same or similar sector, your competitors, your current marketing, and your client's experiences. It's not guesswork, and hope isn't our strategy.
  • We're working on an agreed-upon vision, timeline, and budget.

Design & REFINE
2

We will present marketing and creative solutions in the design and refinement phase. We only offer ideas we believe in, so we're confident that whatever direction you choose, we fully agree it is the right way forward. If any revisions are needed, we'll workshop the revision process by eliminating ideas that don't work and focus on the ones that do. We deeply value our meeting time together. The feedback sessions are all about fine-tuning every detail before we hand off the project to you, so we keep them structured and efficient. We'll discuss past work and any obstacles at each meeting and plan the next steps.  

The design and refine phase will give you the confidence that:

  • You're making the right business decision, not just a style decision. 
  • The design is on track with the mission and vision of the project.
  • We want you to love what we're creating, and we'll never make decisions about you without you.

BUILD
3

We use the refined blueprint to turn your ideas into reality. We customize each part of the build with you and your user in mind. You will stay updated on the progress of each step. There are four elements to the building. We start with creating the foundation, constructing the layout, interlinking, and finally, styling.

The build phase will give you peace of mind knowing:

  • Your project will be polished, precise, and have all of the essentials. 
  • Your project will be tested, tried, and true, passing all of our quality assurance checkpoints.
  • You are closer to a completed project that you can share with others.
  • Your vision is becoming a reality.
Launch
4

Show off work you're proud of, and the world will be glad you did! Leading up to the project completion, we will provide you with an actionable plan for a successful reveal to your team, partners, or clients. We will be there every step of the way, ensuring your website, creative project, or marketing plan is ready to go and running smoothly.  

The launch phase will give you the confidence that:

  • You now have marketing assets and materials you have complete control over and are primed to lead.
  • Drip by drip, your business will positively impact people's lives.
  • You have an asset in your business that increases value, clarity, and direction.
  • We've delivered on our promise, and you're eager to tell those coming behind you.

I will be forever grateful for Gabrielle's deal-it-to-me-straight advice that gave me and my business the one-two punch it needed when I was stuck. Gabrielle is brilliant at helping her clients see clarity in their businesses and more importantly, she empowers you with a renewed sense of confidence to accomplish even the most daunting of challenges.

When we first started trying to get our business together, we felt lost in the process and weren’t sure which direction we were going in. Once we started working with Gabrielle & Tasha, they helped us zero in on exactly what we wanted to portray as a company, translating our ideas and conversations into building a brand identity and website that perfectly captures our company’s feel and message. Their process was unique, engaging, and inclusive, which made us feel heard and valued as a customer.

My gratitude overflows for Gabrielle! She has a gift for seeing you deeply as a person. Unlike big agencies that ignore the details of your problems, she has the rare skill of understanding complicated situations, distilling them down, and effortlessly communicating how you can best move forward. She cuts out the bullshit in every way — bringing ease to what was previously stressful + clearheadedness to what was confusing. Working with Gabrielle has empowered me to be more confident, courageous + honest with myself, both personally + professionally. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Gabrielle helped me gain a new perspective on my clientele and insight into their requirements. She made me realize many mistakes I made with my splash page, and offered solutions that would help with navigation and acquisition. Being part of the wellness industry, Gabrielle is able to use her knowledge to help with marketing and advertising. I would definitely recommend Gabrielle for assistance in brand recognition and website presence. She is absolutely phenomenal!

Gabrielle has an amazing skill at cutting straight to the heart of the matter, seeing through the clutter, chaos and complications that I often bring, to quickly grasp the key issue. Her straight-shooting styling is such a welcome change to the fluff and complexities that so many other business coaches have. I love her approach of simplifying business to increase profits as well as the owner's enjoyment and satisfaction of what they do.

I am truly blown away by how much I have benefited from Gabrielle's support - especially when I tell you that my original purpose in reaching out to her was to see if I could support her with her mission! It never occurred to me how deeply and constructively my connection with Gabrielle would influence me. Gabrielle brings a generosity of spirit to all her conversations. She offers proven knowledge and grounded insights. Without her advice and encouragement, I would still be floundering in "maybe" land - instead, I have a business model, website, and fired-up mission. Thank you Gabrielle - I am so grateful our paths crossed.

I used to be so confused about what goes into developing and executing a marketing and content plan. Since working with Gabrielle I have so much more clarity about the ins and outs of marketing and business growth strategies, her training was awesome and best of all I now have the resilience and confidence to level up.

I knew very little about marketing, and building a website felt daunting. I was desperate so I started working with a web designer that said he could help with everything. I should have known better, it was a disaster. Then someone I trusted referred me to Gabrielle and Nicole. They were knowledgeable and strategic; they explained what they were doing and why - it empowered my co-founder and me to understand the backend of our business. They made our visibility dreams come true by building a brand identity and website that makes us stand out from the rest. It’s top shelf.

Gabrielle is truly gifted with clarity. She can take in the big picture with countless moving parts and hone in on exactly what crucial changes need to be applied to solidify the foundation of a project and illuminate the way forward. She's able to communicate with a directness and precision that is rare to encounter in a person who's also so approachable and down to earth. The biggest leaps I've made in business have been with Gigi's skilled advice urging me forward.

Before working with Gabrielle, I didn’t have a foundation for marketing, a brand identity, a management system, a lead generation system, a sales system, and a refined clinical flow. My workflows were all manual, I undercharged for my services and was overwhelmed. Gabrielle challenged me in the best of ways, gave me clarity, and laid out a plan for all my systems. Now I’m unstuck, growing my business, and making a positive change in the world while getting paid my worth.

alternatives

Your other options.

If you're thinking of joining us but still evaluating other options,
here are some of the closest alternatives.

Marketing Books

We are big fans of reading. But there are so many marketing books out there, and few address the needs of modern-day marketing. This means you'll likely struggle to market your products and services in today's world.

Marketing Courses

Despite the quality of courses, they don't dive deep enough. Most focus on short-term tactics rather than big-picture strategy. It's a cookie-cutter approach that makes it difficult to determine how best to integrate the new information into your unique business context.

Large Marketing Agencies

The bigger the size, the less personal the experience. These firms offer a variety of services, but they lack the quality that comes with a more specialized agency. It's like shopping at a large superstore; you can find what you need but not what you really want.

Freelancers

Good luck with your search if you're trying to find a reliable freelancer—some don't answer their phones, or some say they can do everything to get the job, but end up doing nothing exceptionally well. I've heard of many that stop responding in the middle of a project. On the other hand, small boutique firms are great for those who prefer the comfort of a close working relationship—you'll be able to keep tabs on the process and ensure efficiency.
