I help business owners differentiate & create big wins through brand & Marketing

Here are a few examples...

BRAND TRANSFORMATION
CASE #1

You keep putting off that website redesign, even though you know it’s costing you time, money and more sleep than you’d like to admit...
No judgement here. At Red Door, we’ve worked with plenty of highly successful business owners who’ve felt just plain overwhelmed by the idea of change.

That’s exactly how Dr. Ami felt when she knocked on my door. She’d spent six years building a lucrative therapy practice. And while she had loads of happy patients, she had a website that made her cringe.

In fact, she’d stopped sending people to it. Full. Stop.

The problem was it just wasn’t aligned with her current business. She’d outgrown it.

But she did nothing. For years. Even though she knew it was costing her potential patients.

After finding me, Dr. Ami was able to hand the whole process over and finally let go of all that guilt and frustration. Together, we:

  • Dug deep and got clear on the “core” of her business goals
  • Created a brand story that truly and deeply aligned with her values​
  • Revamped her logo and website to attract her ideal clients
  • Developed a marketing strategy that guarantees future growth
Today, she’s not shy about handing out her business cards or sending clients to her site. 

But while all that sounds nice, it’s really just the start.
​
Because business isn’t just about feeling good. It’s also about getting results. So, how’s Dr. Ami “the savvy business owner” doing today?  With a fresh new look, a streamlined marketing strategy, and a website that works better than soapbox star with a megaphone, her business has exploded. She was even able to let an employee go. 

Her site is literally doing the job of someone she’d previously had to pay. 

What’s more, she doesn’t have to worry about dealing with future growth on her own. She has a branded email template and a plan to stay connected to her clients, which will continue to support and grow her thriving practice.

BRAND TRANSFORMATION
CASE #2

You run a business that you know is miles ahead of the pack in terms of service, but still struggle to stand out...
BEFORE
AFTER
With velvet-rope service, Edwin's self-storage business had no shortage of happy customers. But with a stale, outdated site that failed to connect with his audience, he was stuck duking it out with everyone else in his industry.

New customers only trickled in. Drip. Drip. Drip.

Then, he hired Red Door. Together, we revamped his whole business. This wasn’t just a fresh coat of paint on the front door. This was a total makeover from the inside out. The end result?

  • A brand that resonates with (and attracts) customers
  • A fresh look that makes a big, memorable impact
  • A business that’s crushing the competition
  • A marketing strategy that works for him--kind of like autopilot
  • A complete set of tools to track and encourage growth

I overhauled his logo, signage, business cards, website, and more. I even redesigned his signage in 7 locations!
But Edwin’s success story isn’t about a fancy website with all “hip” new bells and whistles. You can try to stand out by dropping a whole lotta green on “looking pretty”...

(I’ve worked with a lot of business owners who went this route. And it doesn’t make people or bank accounts very happy.)

The real magic happens when I uncover your authentic brand story and bring it to life. Then give you a proven framework to keep growing.

BRAND STORY + CLEAN DESIGN + STRATEGY = GROWTH

Edwin’s business is flourishing today because his new website and marketing strategy connects with people in a way that ensures they know, like and trust his business. And find him easily.

He’s not just bringing in new customers, he’s building relationships for the future.

And with me, he’s always got a partner at his side to ensure continued success.  

BRAND TRANSFORMATION
​CASE #3

You’re ready to expand, but keep hearing crickets from potential new markets...
BEFORE
AFTER
That’s what happened to Leadout, a tight-knit family owned business born in the 70’s.

They had a successful Leadership Training Product in the U.S. And a vision to expand globally to Asia.

But the Asian manufacturers refused to take on a product that felt stale and outdated.

Leadout needed a complete brand overhaul. New logo. New website. New product design. New collateral.
Leslie, the CEO, hired Red Door to transform her brand and take her business--not just to a new level--but to a whole new place. 

Today? She’s partnering with manufacturers all over the world.

And (in case you were wondering) even though Leadout is now a lead player on the world stage, they haven’t forgotten about me.

Red Door is still its go-to agency.

BRAND TRANSFORMATION
​CASE #4

Your website just doesn’t capture the unique magic of your business...
You know your business is special.  There’s magic happening within the walls of your organization.
But your website conveys about as much passion as the color beige. 

The thing is, it’s not exactly your fault. You’ve hired designers before. Spent quite a bit of time and money trying to “get things right.” And you’re still stuck with a website that feels, well, “meh”. 

If you’re feeling like you’re just cursed when it comes to hiring designers, read Julie’s story:

"Our website was dated and bland. And it definitely didn’t convey our passion or expertise. 
To make things worse, our designer was totally unresponsive when we wanted to make updates or changes. 

The whole thing made me want to bang my head against a wall in frustration.

After our first meeting with Kris, I knew things were going to be different. She really listened to what I was needing and hoping for in our website. I got to talk about how great my business is and she translated it perfectly into an informative and dynamic website. 

Our site now feels ALIVE! It’s dynamic, conveying hope and possibility.

I feel proud showing off our website because it honestly depicts the depth and breadth of what we do, yet with a simplicity that’s appealing to consumers on all levels.

The process was was surprisingly fun and easy! I love knowing I have an ongoing partner I feel comfortable with and can rely on."

—Julie Dromgoole, Director of Operations, PRA

And that’s because at Red Door, I'm not just building brands, I'm building relationships.

Just like I help my clients do. 
​So, if you can relate to any of the stories above. Or, you know you’d like to do any of the following:
​
  • Connect with your audience (so you get not just more, but better clients and customers)
  • Start promoting your own website--without cringing
  • Have a growth-focused marketing plan that works for you
  • Create a brand that’s aligned with you, your values and your goals
  • Be confident that your business builds trust and authority
  • Stop procrastinating and finally realize your company’s potential

Then do yourself (and your business) a favor and knock on the red door today. ​
