Erin Norris, the founder of Ruby Works Co.™, came to Wild Woman Haus® seeking a complete rebrand. Wild Woman Haus® was brought on to lead a full-scale transformation rooted in brand strategy for creative agencies, from messaging to business model refinement.

As a web designer and marketing specialist for the wellness and beauty industries, Erin had built a strong foundation for her business but lacked the cohesive brand identity, positioning, and structured business model necessary to scale. She needed a refined strategy to better communicate her expertise, attract the right clientele, and position Ruby Works as a premier creative agency.

The Challenge: Building a High-Value, Scalable Brand

At the start of our engagement, Ruby Works faced several key challenges:

• Undefined Brand Positioning – The brand lacked a strong differentiator in the crowded digital branding and web design space.
• Scattered Target Audience – Without a clear understanding of her ideal clients, Erin struggled to create messaging that resonated.
• Unstructured Business Model – The absence of a defined service structure made it difficult to attract and retain high-value clients.
• Inconsistent Messaging – While Erin had a compelling personal story and professional expertise, the brand’s communication lacked clarity and cohesion.
• Lack of Strategic Offerings – Ruby Works needed a scalable, tiered service model that allowed for both high-touch and automated solutions.

Wild Woman Haus® developed a customized strategy to refine Ruby Works’ brand identity, streamline its business model, and establish a powerful market position.

The Wild Woman Haus® Experience:

Phase 1: Brand Strategy for Creative Agencies Begins with Audience Clarity

To build a strong foundation, we conducted a deep analysis of Ruby Works’ target audience, identifying five core customer segments:

• Urban Entrepreneurs: Salon owners and creative professionals in urban areas who need efficient, high-quality branding and web design.
• Growth Seekers: Mid-career professionals in wellness and beauty looking for a complete brand transformation.
• Innovators: Trend-focused creative professionals valuing high-level, cutting-edge design solutions.
• Remote Operators: Business owners operating remotely who need flexible, seamless branding solutions.
• Community Builders: Entrepreneurs focused on fostering trust and transparency in their brands.

Key Audience Insights:

• They value professional, aesthetically striking branding and web design.
• They need a marketing partner who can grow with them over time.
• They are willing to invest in long-term brand success but require education on digital tools and strategies.

By refining these audience profiles, we crafted brand messaging that directly addressed their unique pain points and goals.

Phase 2: How Brand Strategy for Creative Agencies Builds Market Separation

With the market full of branding and web design firms, it was essential to carve out Ruby Works’ unique place in the industry. Our competitor analysis revealed three primary competitor types:

• Direct Competitors – Branding and web design agencies targeting the same clientele.
• Substitute Competitors – Digital marketing firms and social media strategists offering overlapping services.
• DIY Platforms – Tools like Wix, Squarespace, and Canva that allow clients to create branding independently.

Positioning Statement:

“To small business owners and creative professionals in the beauty, wellness, and creative industries, Ruby Works is the modern marketing expert providing branding, web design, and copywriting services that empower you to build a compelling, professional online presence. Unlike other providers, Ruby Works combines high-quality, visually stunning designs with rapid delivery, comprehensive support, and a results-driven approach.

By positioning Ruby Works as a premium, results-driven creative partner, we emphasized:

• High-quality, visually stunning design.
• Rapid, efficient project execution.
• A personal, emotionally intelligent approach to branding.

Phase 3: Business Model Refinement & Offer Structuring

To create a scalable, high-value business model, we restructured Ruby Works’ services into a tiered system that meets clients at different stages of their branding journey:

Core Offerings:

• Brand Identity & Strategy: Full-service branding packages, including brand positioning, messaging, and identity design.
• Web Design & Development: High-quality, conversion-optimized websites tailored to the beauty and wellness industries.
• Growth-Driven Marketing Support: Ongoing branding updates, email marketing, and content strategy.

Revenue Streams:

• High-Ticket Custom Branding Packages – Premium 1:1 services for established business owners.
• Retainer-Based Marketing Support – Subscription-style services for ongoing brand maintenance.
• Workshops & Digital Resources – Scalable, lower-cost options for early-stage entrepreneurs.

This structured model ensures sustainability, scalability, and client retention while allowing Ruby Works to maintain premium service quality. This service model was designed using our signature approach to brand strategy for creative agencies, ensuring flexibility, premium positioning, and scalability.

Phase 4: Brand Messaging & Storytelling

To create a compelling emotional connection with its audience, we defined Ruby Works’ brand voice and messaging pillars:

• Sage-Led Branding & Strategy – “We bring wisdom, experience, and expertise to help you navigate the branding process with confidence.”
• Creative Intelligence & Emotional Connection – “We don’t just build brands—we create experiences that resonate with your audience.”
• Strategic Growth & Empowerment – “Your brand is more than a website—it’s a foundation for long-term success.”
• Brand Promise: “Ruby Works delivers visually stunning, professionally crafted branding and web design solutions that empower clients, build trust, and drive business growth.”

Phase 5: Visual Identity & Brand Aesthetic

A brand’s visual identity must align with its core values and market positioning. We helped Erin refine Ruby Works’ brand aesthetic to reflect:

• A sleek, modern, and editorial design style.
• A clean yet bold color palette that evokes trust, creativity, and professionalism.
• A refined typography system that balances elegance with approachability.

By integrating these elements, we ensured Ruby Works’ visual presence matched its premium positioning.
