A woman-owned entrepreneur partnership envisioned a wellness hub that went beyond physical fitness—one that fostered complete well-being for their local community. Their goal was to create a comprehensive space integrating fitness, holistic wellness, and supportive community experiences.

To successfully launch, they needed a clearly defined brand identity that would:

  • Align their vision with a compelling market position
  • Support strategic partnerships with wellness practitioners
  • Guide the development of a brick-and-mortar location
  • Establish credibility and attract their first clients

A strong, cohesive brand was essential to confidently pitch their business before it launched.

APPROACH + EXECUTION

Through a strategic discovery process—including visioning sessions, competitive analysis, and market research—we identified a key opportunity: the need for an integrated wellness hub that combined fitness, holistic health, and community support in a way that existing options did not.

Their positioning evolved into a “one-stop wellness destination”—a space dedicated to mind, body, and spirit where individuals seeking alternatives to traditional healthcare could find transformation and connection.

To capture this, we developed a brand identity that balanced the tranquility of a wellness center with the dynamic energy of a fitness facility. The messaging reinforced their belief that well-being is a sum-of-all-parts approach—one that embraces joy, play, and human connection as essential components of health.

OUTCOME

The final deliverables provided a strong foundation for their launch, including:

  • Brand positioning & messaging to communicate their mission with clarity and confidence
  • A visual identity system that reflected their dual focus on fitness and wellness
  • Design guidelines & a brand manual to ensure consistency across all touchpoints

This work empowered them to pitch their business effectively, attract key partnerships, and build early momentum—laying the groundwork for a wellness hub that would truly serve its community.

My primary role within this project was leading Brand Development as a contractor on behalf of Orchestrata, a creative agency partner.
