THE GrowingREACH PLAN
MY THREE-PHASE APPROACH TO GROWING A THRIVING THERAPY PRACTICE:


REACHBranding
I breathe fresh air into your private practice by defining a professional brand that feels like you. More than a tagline, logo, or color palette, a brand is your ethos. Let the world know who you are, and attract your best-fit clients.
brand purpose
I first identified our client’s brand purpose to understand the “why” behind her private practice which informs the birth of a brand.
ideal client
By developing the client’s ideal client avatar, I was then able to create focused marketing strategies to drive engagement and client retention.
brand promise
I then focused on our client’s brand promise to craft an outstanding client experience which builds loyalty and drive business.
brand identity
I created a compelling logo, tagline, typography, and color palette to reflect the client’s brand and resonate with his target audience.
INITIAL LOGO CONCEPTS




REACHWebsites
I develop mouth-watering WordPress websites and write your SEO-optimized website copy that captures your voice, attracts your ideal clients, and creates the foundation for a powerful marketing strategy.
