Author and speaker seeks our services to clarify her brand and create a website and speaker one-sheet

Challenge

In 2011 we designed Julia Spencer’s award-winning book, Looking Through a Keyhole, a memoir about her challenges with severe and progressive vision loss. The popularity of Julia’s self-published memoir had a direct and positive impact on her speaking business. She sought our help to clarify her brand and update her marketing materials.

Process

Julia first teamed with our branding expert to focus her brand, target audience, and top-level messaging. Armed with this branding and messaging, our copywriter wrote new website content and the copy for her speaker one-sheet. Our website developer designed and created Julia’s custom website. Next, we designed her speaker one-sheet to complement the website design.

Result

A cohesive, clear, rebranding of Julia’s business to take full advantage of her self-published book and the speaking opportunities it generated.
