From ReMax
to Reborn.

Yazbeck Realty Group
The Problem

Mary had years of award winning work with ReMax on the South Shore, but a reputation isn’t a brand…and going solo meant needing more than a name on a door.

The Play
  • Built the identity from the ground up…logo, color palette, typography, website, marketing materials
  • Turned her primary color into a bold, non traditional visual system that felt unmistakably her
  • Integrated her reviews and pushed for more…so her community spoke for her by speaking about her

The site launched and inquiries came in from across the country. That’s brand pull. Not SEO. Not ads.

Surging to
the #1 Spot.

SharkNinja: Ninja Motorized
The Problem

A strong category sitting at #3 in the market…and then a pandemic hit.

The Play
  • Sharp positioning that told the right story
  • A community of loyal users who became the brand’s loudest advocates
  • Relentless product marketing driven by deep consumer insights, across launches, retail, and every major channel

It wasn’t one thing…it was the system. A pivot that turned strong into dominant…America’s #1 blender brand.

Building a Community
From Scratch.

Under Armour: UA Combines/Combine360
The Problem

UA Combines started as an idea. No network. No members. And community couldn’t be an afterthought…it had to be Day One strategy.

The Play
  • Built UA Combines into a thriving community of 10,000+ athletes, parents, and coaches
  • Grew it into Combine360, a joint venture with IMG Academies
  • Created a 90 day training regimen to help athletes perform at their best when their best was needed…and certified 1,500 trainers

A user-created network that became a locomotive in the personal training industry.

Active Recovery
Built to Move.

OOFOS
The Problem

A genuinely differentiated product. Patented OOfoam technology. A real recovery story. A global footprint. What OOFOS needed was structured access to the fitness pros who could bring that story to life.

The Play
  • Partnered with award winning coach and trainer Marc Coronel
  • Designed and built the Active Recovery Academy from scratch
  • A fully accredited certification built to industry standards…a credential worth earning

Thousands of fit pros knocking on the door before the room was even open.

Making the B2B
to B2C Leap.

Cybex International
The Problem

A legacy fitness brand that only talked B2B. No consumer voice. No social presence.

The Play
  • End user positioning and a tone of voice built for the consumer
  • Social presences built from zero…growing into a community of thousands with 100+ ambassadors for authenticity in a new space
  • A brand guideline framework to make every presentation and piece of content uniform

A legacy brand that expanded past commercial to consumer…in a voice steeped in research and trust.

Dusting Off
a Legacy.

Midea America / Eureka
The Problem

A legacy brand with a cluttered line and a story that wasn’t clear and didn’t resonate with the consumer.

The Play
  • SKU rationalization cut underperforming inventory by 52%
  • Cleared the way for new innovation, including two full go to market launches in 2025
  • Expanded off-Amazon with seven new retailers adding products to in-store assortments

A brand that found its space and merged heritage with modern consumer behavior. Converting better. Growing faster.

The Score
68% Conversion Lift on Amazon
52% SKU Reduction
46% YoY Off-Amazon Growth
