A Case Study in Brand Strategy
the gist
In the dynamic world of beauty and skincare, standing out amidst a sea of competitors is a formidable challenge. Evie’s Skin Therapy Boutique, a small, local brand, faced this exact challenge.
Boasting a rich philosophy of blending tradition with modernity, Evie's needed not just to stand out, but to convert its audience into loyal customers. This case study details how our strategic approach redefined Evie's brand identity, amplifying its voice in a crowded market.
our challenge
our solution
To carve out a distinctive niche for Evie's Skin Therapy Boutique within a saturated market. The brand's unique fusion of traditional wisdom and modern innovation needed to be harnessed not just to stand out, but to engender deep loyalty among customers, turning casual visitors into a dedicated and returning clientele.
In crafting our solution for Evie's Skin Therapy Boutique, we recognized the importance of Evie's unique personality and philosophy, which seamlessly blends technological innovation, mysticism, and traditional healing. Our strategy was meticulously designed to echo this distinctiveness.
By focusing on Evie’s charismatic persona and the brand's commitment to high-end services and aesthetic excellence, we created a brand narrative that deeply resonated with the target audience's preferences and expectations.
This approach not only aligned with the core values of Evie’s but also effectively engaged and converted its clientele, reflecting a profound understanding of their desires for luxury, quality, and a personalized beauty experience.

brand personality & voice
We embraced Evie’s unique personality, her daily commitment to skin care research, and her background in herbalism to develop her brand personality as "The Healer." This persona encompassed various roles — a confidante, coach, and expert — all tailored to the client's needs. The brand voice was crafted to be gentle yet firm, conveying expert knowledge with warmth and confidence, inviting trust and reliability.
visual identity overhaul
We established a brand aesthetic that was a mix of cottage-core with a modern twist — dried flowers in glass, handwritten notes, and holistic practices that touched upon emotional, spiritual, and physical health. The color palette featured soothing lavender, blue, and green, evoking joy and calmness.
brand audit & refinement
Our comprehensive brand audit revealed that while Evie lacked a definitive visual identity, her innate strengths lay in her loyal customer base and her ability to attract clients despite frequently changing locations. It became clear that Evie’s target market shouldn’t be the traditionally perceived clientele, but rather focused on the "high-ticket" customers — ambitious career women seeking relaxation and beauty treatments as a reprieve from their fast-paced lives.
With this insight, we refined the brand name to "Evie’s Skin Therapy Boutique," encapsulating the luxury and exclusivity of the services offered. 'Boutique' was chosen deliberately to reflect the premium skincare products provided, enhancing the brand's appeal.
With the logo, we also made sure to incorporate Evie’s values; Innovation, Mysticism, and Traditional Healing Practices. These elements were harmoniously blended into a logo that was both clean and symbolic, ensuring that Evie’s philosophy was represented visually.
Technological Innovation
A hexagon and lines in the trademark, representing Evie's dedication to personalized skin care through cutting-edge research.
Mysticism
A constellation symbolizing the subtle incorporation of energetic healing and astrology into her practice.
Traditional Healing
The Baikal Scutellaria flower, a nod to ancient herbal wisdom and Evie’s holistic healing approach.
The introduction of Evie’s new visual identity marked a transformative chapter for the brand. This fresh identity was meticulously applied across her digital landscape, enhancing her website and social media presence, and was embodied in her physical marketing materials such as business cards. Moreover, the aesthetic was brought to life within her boutique, creating a physical experience that mirrored the serene and mystical ambiance of the brand.
We planned out innovative live stream campaigns that leveraged the popular ASMR trend, providing an immersive and educational experience for Evie’s audience. Social media became a platform for enlightenment, where Evie shared groundbreaking skincare research and home remedy tips, nurturing trust with both current and prospective clients.
With a redefined target market, Evie's appointment book began to reflect her preferred clientele: individuals seeking a retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation. The brand's evolution was not just in appearance but in substance – with the boutique transforming into a community hub for those devoted to skincare and wellness.
Evie's Skin Therapy Boutique has successfully transitioned from being an individual service provider to a cornerstone of the skincare community.
This evolution has garnered attention, positioning Evie as a thought leader and trusted healer in the realm of beauty and wellness.
