"I did coaching with Brianna and it was amazing! I developed a better marketing strategy, received feedback on my online presence, defined my target audience and so much more. Plus I had great interaction with the rest of the class. Would highly recommend." Dawn F. Founder Here's the Sitch (aka Situation) Beauty By Dawn was preparing for two key Fall vendor events while also looking ahead to the holiday season—one of the most critical revenue periods for product-based businesses. However, there wasn’t a clear, data-informed strategy connecting: Event participation → brand visibility → sales conversion (in-person and online) Fall activations → holiday campaign readiness → long-term vendor growth Like many emerging brands, efforts risked becoming tactical and reactive instead of structured and revenue-driven—leaving missed opportunities in both event ROI and seasonal momentum. Our Approach We designed a custom 60-day strategy sprint focused on aligning Beauty By Dawn’s event marketing, customer insights, and holiday positioning into one cohesive growth plan. Our work focused on: Audience & Opportunity Mapping Assessed target audiences for both Fall events using organizer insights and collaboration opportunities Identified ways to integrate Beauty By Dawn into broader event marketing for increased visibility Event-to-Revenue Strategy Built pre-, during-, and post-event marketing strategies Defined tactics to convert foot traffic into both immediate and sustained sales (online + in-person) Competitive & Seasonal Positioning Analyzed competitor holiday campaigns to identify gaps, dos, and don’ts Developed tailored holiday campaign strategies to position the brand for peak seasonal demand Real-Time Optimization & Insights Debriefed each event to capture what drove engagement and sales Translated insights into repeatable strategies for future activations Growth Pipeline Development Identified lookalike vendor opportunities for 2024 Built a forward-looking strategy to expand Beauty By Dawn’s presence across aligned markets Our Impact & Client Milestones In just 60 days, Beauty By Dawn transitioned from event participation without structure to a data-informed, revenue-focused approach to in-person and seasonal sales. Key outcomes included: Developed a full-funnel vendor marketing system - Created a clear pre-, during-, and post-event strategy for their first U.S. vendor activation—establishing a repeatable framework for future events. Achieved 89% of their revenue goal - Demonstrating strong alignment between strategy, execution, and on-the-ground sales performance. Turned in-person traffic into an owned audience for the first time (20% conversion rate) - Captured 20 email subscribers from ~100 attendees—shifting from one-time event sales to building a sustainable pipeline for remarketing, customer retention, and future revenue. Shifted to data-driven selling (online + in-person ) - Equipped the brand with insights to make informed decisions on product positioning, pricing, and customer engagement—extending beyond events into holiday and evergreen sales strategies. Established a holiday campaign framework - Created structured promotional strategies to maximize visibility and conversions during peak season, with tactics that can be reused year-round.

Junior Achievement Unified Messaging and Strategic Engagement: Amplifying JAGFC’s Impact Across Stakeholders Client Junior Achievement Year 2024 Scope of Work Brand Messaging Development, Content Creation, Newsletter Creation Industry Non-Profit Here's the Sitch (aka Situation) Despite its undeniable positive impact, Junior Achievement of Greater Fairfield County (JAGFC) struggled to effectively articulate who the organization serves and how they are served. Staff and board members sought unified messaging to resonate with various stakeholders and clearly communicate JAGFC’s value. Our Approach From January to July 2024, BRVC applied a holistic brand growth strategy using marketing and communications expertise, with consultative support on operations management where needed, to position JAGFC as a go-to partner driving systemic change and empowering young people to build successful financial futures. This 3-step approach included: Audit Analyzing current communications and identifying opportunities for improvement. Marketing & Communications Plan Developing a strategic blueprint for stakeholder engagement and value articulation. Plan Implementation Executing strategies with a focus on impactful messaging and targeted audience engagement. Our Impact & Client Milestones By implementing BRVC’s strategies, JAGFC successfully increased awareness, engagement, and clarity in its communications, empowering its mission to inspire and support youth in building brighter financial futures. 1. Clearer Messaging & Target Audience Profiles: Developed audience profiles to define who is served and created a messaging framework for how JAGFC supports them. Provided a strategic blueprint for driving awareness, interest, and support, enabling JAGFC to clearly communicate its value across multiple stakeholders. 2. Strategic Social Media Performance: LinkedIn: Launched a "Boundless Possibilities" newsletter to increase the reach of educator, donor and volunteer stakeholders. Produced content that achieved a 10.6% click-through rate (CTR), outperforming posts from the prior 30 days. Engagement rate averaged 17.2%, surpassing previous metrics. Videos and carousel posts generated the highest impressions, with authentic student spotlights performing particularly well. Insights revealed LinkedIn as the priority platform for reaching corporate partners, donors, and educators. Instagram/Facebook: Reels increased reach on Instagram, while original/repurposed content performed better on Facebook. Images on Facebook drove more engagement than videos, aligning with the platform’s follower demographics of donors, corporate partners, and educators (vs. students/youth). 3. Tactical Insights: Emphasized engaging content formats such as videos, carousels, and tagged posts to maximize impressions and engagement. Identified content types that resonate with specific platforms, ensuring tailored promotion efforts for optimal impact. View Newsletetter
