Foundation marketing for a brand-new franchise.

Brand, website and a franchisee launch system, built right before the network grew.

§ 01

The specimen

A business at the start of its franchising journey wanted to set the network up for success from day one.

§ 02

The problem

Define the consumer brand, prioritise a limited start-up budget, and design how marketing support would work for future franchisees.

§ 03

The experiment

A brand discovery workshop defined the brand and its unique selling position.

We prioritised the start-up budget around website, content and digital, and built a framework that translates national strategy into local franchise marketing, with the assets franchisees need to launch.

  • Brand discovery workshop
  • Logo
  • Brand guidelines
  • Website
  • Marketing and content strategy
  • Digital setup
  • Franchisee launch plan
§ 04

Results

The franchise now has a brand that appeals to customers and prospective franchisees, a website built to franchise best practice, a set onboarding process for new franchisees, and a turnkey launch plan plus seasonal local campaigns.

How we work now

Same method, better memory

The work above came from the way we’ve always worked: a hypothesis first, then the numbers. Today that runs through LabOS, our own platform, which keeps every result on file so the next campaign starts from what we already know.
