What challenge were you trying to address with Briefkase Digital Communications?

We wanted to revamp our branding to drive traffic at our wellness centers, which are located inside of hotels. Most of our customers are people staying at these hotels, and our number of external walk-ins was abysmal. Our objective was to become more discoverable so that we could grow the amount of non-resident customers.

Because we’re angel-funded and self-funded, we didn’t have a large marketing budget that we could use to build awareness through conventional mediums. For this reason, we decided to focus on digital marketing and hired Briefkase Digital Communications to help us with SEO, PPC, and social media marketing.
