A LOOK AT YOUR CURRENT BUSINESS
Your business is in an exciting transition period, where you’re focusing on rebranding to elevate your professional image. The core services you currently offer include functional lab testing, personalized health plans, and one-on-one coaching—primarily targeting gut health, hormones, and autoimmune diseases. With this rebrand, you're aiming to reflect a more luxurious and professional identity.
At the moment, your time is largely dedicated to 1:1 coaching and corporate workshops, while you're in the early stages of building a supportive wellness community.
Most of your marketing efforts have been focused on Instagram, a platform where you’ve felt comfortable and have established a strong presence. However, you’re beginning to notice the limitations and risks of relying heavily on a single platform for client acquisition and income.
Additionally, one of the challenges you face is that your goal is to help clients reach a level of wellness where they no longer need your services, which, while rewarding, creates a shorter client lifecycle. Expanding your marketing channels and diversifying your offerings will help address these challenges moving forward.

-
Her strong intuition helps her understand the needs of her clients and adapt quickly to new opportunities or challenges. This strength aids in providing personalised coaching and ensuring client satisfaction.
-
Emma has a solid understanding of Instagram and how to engage with her audience. This comfort with the platform provides a key advantage in reaching potential clients and promoting her services effectively.
AREAS FOR GROWTH
-
Emma needs to develop stronger internal structures to streamline her processes. This will ensure that as she scales, her business operates efficiently and without overwhelming her.
-
While Emma is comfortable with Instagram, developing a more structured content strategy would enhance her visibility and engagement. Consistent, strategic content will help her stand out in a saturated market.
-
While Emma excels in 1-1 coaching, her engagement with a broader community is limited. Building stronger community ties and interactions will help her brand grow organically and reach a wider audience.
OPPORTUNITIES
-
Continue adding more services beyond coaching, such as workshops, group sessions, or corporate wellness programs. This would diversify income streams and attract a wider audience.
-
A more comprehensive marketing plan could expand Emma’s reach beyond Instagram. Implementing email marketing or collaborations with brands could bring in new clients.
-
With a small but loyal following, there’s an opportunity to create a more engaged community. Hosting regular events, virtual meet-ups, or creating an exclusive group could boost client loyalty and engagement.
THREATS
-
Without proper boundaries and a balanced workload, you risk burnout. Delegating tasks and creating time for self-care will be essential for long-term sustainability.
-
The wellness industry is highly competitive and saturated. To stand out, you needs to continue refining your unique value proposition and staying ahead of market trends. You have a very unique background and therefor value prop, and your new brand, messaging and tone of voice should show this clearly.
-
Relying too heavily on Instagram as the primary marketing platform is a risk. Diversifying the marketing approach to include other channels will help mitigate this reliance.
YOUR STRATEGY
-
Maintaining an organised approach is critical to avoiding burnout. This involves using project management tools to track tasks, deadlines, and progress. Organise your content creation process by categorising tasks such as ideation, writing, designing, and scheduling. Create a system for client management, ensuring seamless communication and follow-up. Utilise tools like Trello, Asana, or Notion to keep everything in check, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks.
-
Treat your Instagram profile as a polished business card. Ensure your bio clearly states who you are and your inks go to the most important places. Highlight key services and achievements in your story highlights. Regularly update your feed with high-quality, branded content that reinforces your professional image. Since your followers already trust you, Instagram is an ideal platform for direct selling and promoting your services.
-
As your brand grows, it's crucial to expand your marketing reach beyond your current channels to connect with a broader audience and create more touchpoints for potential clients. Here's how you can strategically expand your marketing efforts while maintaining the authenticity and personal touch that defines your brand:
-
Launching a rebrand is an exciting and transformative process, especially when it comes to aligning your new identity with expanded services and a refined message. For you, this could be a key moment to amplify your presence in the wellness space, attract new clients, and showcase the evolution of your business. Here’s you’ll see to launch your rebrand effectively while maximising visibility and engagement:
-
Foster a sense of community among your followers by encouraging interaction and engagement. Create a space for open discussions, share user-generated content, and acknowledge your audience’s contributions. Building a strong community enhances loyalty and advocacy.
ORGANISATION
Time Blocking
Allocate specific time blocks each week dedicated to different business activities. This could include content creation, social media engagement, email marketing, and networking. For instance, dedicate Monday mornings to drafting LinkedIn posts, Wednesday afternoons to writing your email newsletters and Fridays to analysing TikTok metrics and planning for the next week. Time blocking helps maintain focus, ensures consistency, and increases productivity.
Content Calendars
Developing a content calendar is essential for maintaining a steady flow of posts and ensuring a balanced mix of content types. Plan your posts a month in advance, aligning them with key dates, industry events, and trends. This foresight allows for a cohesive narrative and prevents last-minute scrambles for content. Use tools like Google Calendar, Hootsuite, or Buffer to schedule and visualise your content.
Test & Iterate
Adopt a data-driven approach by creating hypotheses for different types of content, marketing strategies and offers. Test variations in post formats, timing, messaging, and targeting. Analyse the performance of these tests to identify what resonates most with your audience. This iterative process helps refine your strategy, making it more effective over time.

EXPAND YOUR MARKETING EFFORTS
NEWSLETTERS
The place to find your most loyal followers.
FORMAT
Create a format that works and keep using it. Get your readers familiar with what they can expect and meet those expectations. Which sections are getting the most and least clicks and use this to change around things that no longer suit your audience.
Include interactive elements like surveys, polls, and Q&A sections in each issue to encourage your readers to share their thoughts and feedback. Invite them to respond directly via email or through your social media channels to foster a sense of open communication.
To build reliability and trust with your readers, consistently send out your newsletter at the same time and day each week. Maintaining a regular schedule helps your audience anticipate your updates and keeps them engaged with your content.
THOUGHT STARTERS
How can you build deeper connections through your newsletters?
Your newsletters are a great way to foster two-way dialogue.
Add sections like:
“Case Study Spotlight” to showcase real-world transformations.
“This Month’s Gut Health Tip” to educate and inspire.
A short poll or question to invite engagement and feedback.
How can you align your newsletters with your overall strategy?
Make them a bridge to your offerings. For example, each newsletter could highlight a specific service (e.g., “Why the Reveal program is perfect for you”) with a direct link to learn more. Keeping the content consistent and intentional (even quarterly) will create anticipation and loyalty.
TWO-WAY DIALOGUE
If someone has signed up to your newsletter, you know they are interested in what you have to say, share and sell. These people are primed to join your community and buy your services. So, spend the time getting to know them, what they like and dislike.

LAUNCH REBRAND
Build Anticipation
Pre-Launch
Before the official rebrand launch, it's essential to build excitement and curiosity among your current audience and potential clients. This phase is all about creating intrigue and signaling that something fresh is on the way.
Suggestions:
Teaser Campaign: Use your social media platforms to release teaser content. Post “behind the scenes” of your new branding elements (colors, logo hints, etc.), showing a glimpse of what’s coming.
Email Teasers: Send out a series of emails with small updates about the rebrand, leading up to the official launch. This keeps your audience engaged and looking forward to the reveal.
Countdown Timer: Add a countdown timer to your website and social channels. This adds a sense of urgency and anticipation.
Rebrand Launch Event
The launch of your rebrand is an opportunity to showcase your refreshed identity while reinforcing your values and expanded offerings. This is the perfect time to highlight what sets you apart and how you’ve grown.
Suggestions:
Host a Virtual Launch Party: Create an event, such as a virtual “wellness party,” where you share the story behind the rebrand, your new offerings, and how this transformation will benefit your clients.
Live Instagram or YouTube Reveal: Leverage live video to unveil your new brand identity. Share the “why” behind the rebrand and encourage live interactions, such as Q&As.
Offer Exclusive Discounts: To make the launch even more exciting, offer limited-time discounts on your services, such as 1-1 coaching, memberships, or group programs, exclusively for attendees or those who engage with the launch event.
Update and Streamline All Touchpoints
To ensure consistency, your rebrand should reflect across every aspect of your business, from your website and social media profiles to client communications and marketing materials. Every touchpoint is an opportunity to reinforce your new identity.
Suggestions:
Website Overhaul: Make sure your website reflects the new branding, with updated visuals, colors, and messaging. Highlight your refreshed services and make navigation seamless for new clients.
Social Media Alignment: Update all your social media accounts to match the new branding. Ensure your bio, profile pictures, banners, and content align with your new look and feel.
Client Communication: Notify your existing clients about the rebrand in a personalized way. Send a heartfelt email explaining the shift and what it means for them moving forward. This keeps them informed and involved in your journey.
COMMUNITY BUILDING
Partnerships
Explore partnerships with other professionals and businesses to expand your reach and add value to your audience. Collaborate on content, co-host events, or offer bundled services. Partnerships can introduce your brand to new audiences and provide mutual benefits. Collaborations are your best friend when it comes to building a community, start reaching out to practitioners and communities you love to see if they’d be open to collaborating on a community event e.g. self sabotage workshops x mindful movement.
Paid Partnerships
We’ll begin working with you to find the perfect brand partners for paid opportunities. This could include sponsored content, joint events, or bespoke coaching programs. Ensure transparency and align partnerships with your brand values and goals. Create a list of dream companies you’d like to work with and we’ll work with you to reach those goals.
Start Building an Active Community Offline
Extend your community-building efforts offline through meetups, workshops, and networking events. These face-to-face interactions strengthen relationships and create a more tangible sense of community. Promote these events through your online channels to ensure maximum participation. (again collaborations are a great way to do this)
How can you create a thriving community around your brand?
Your Retain membership can serve as a foundation for a more interactive client community. Offering private access to a group chat or forum (perhaps on a platform like Slack or Facebook) could facilitate ongoing conversations, peer support, and direct interaction with you.
Additionally, live Q&A sessions or virtual workshops can strengthen the sense of belonging. For example:
Monthly webinars where you dive into hot topics like stress and gut health.
Exclusive guest speaker events to add variety and value.
