Beacon Creative Lab has been proud to provide strategic consulting, branding, creative and implementation to help the outstanding team at this high-end dog care provider since 2020.
- Monthly blogs and informational emails give pet owners tips and ideas for enjoying life with their furry friends, while reminding them about the range of College for Pets services.
- After the business moved to a beautiful and expansive wooded campus, it was time to upgrade their online home. We partnered with Angie Scala of Scala Design to create a modern, friendly site focused on giving people the same high-value experience online that they have in person.
- We enjoy being able to help with advertising and developing longer-form content development also. The 2-sided Guide to Puppy Essentials is just one of several pieces created to help connect prospects with the NH dog training & lodging company.
After helping both partners (Nora Yolles-Young and Jen Catlin) who offer this transformative training with their individual branding and marketing, we were asked to get involved in helping them initiate a fresh launch of the training in 2023.
- The goals were to create a funnel to help bring in new students, simplify ongoing communication, and lay a foundation for future launches.
- We created a logo and visual elements, updated the basic website with more benefit-oriented copy and built ConvertKit lead nurturing and student welcoming email flows.
- To help attract attention and build a connection with prospective students, we helped create and edit a free webinar and two promotional videos as part of this launch.
- The final important piece was providing the client with a complete content publication calendar across social media.
“I love working with Wendy. She is a visionary and has a way of really ‘seeing’ her clients. She has a finely honed, special touch, that clarifies and draws forth the essence of their unique brand. ” — Nora Yolles-Young

Beacon Creative Lab provided consulting, strategy, messaging and creative related to re-launch.
- Betsy Smith’s goal was to refresh her messaging platform, bringing together leadership and patient advocacy under one umbrella. We created the tagline: Be Ready. Be Bold. Be Heard.
- We also updated the brand’s visual elements, and assisted with momentum coaching to support Betsy as she launched her newest quick impact program, and developed reconnect and welcome emails.
- A complete revision for Betsy’s website was the final piece of her rebranding. We partnered with Terri Voltz of Current Marketing Services to create an online presence that was easy-to-navigate, fresh and bold, in keeping with Betsy’s approach. Encouraging visitors to schedule a consultation was the second priority, which we implemented through prominent call-to-action buttons and easy to find contact forms.

“My husband died in 2018 and during his 4-year illness, I let my business, E. L. Smith Consulting, go dormant. When I was ready to start again, I contacted Wendy who I’ve known since 2009. Wendy worked with me to reframe my business focus and to reinvent my website. I think Wendy’s unique distinction is that she can help reinvent the business AND design a clean, informative, interactive website. She is an amazing blend of “techie” and “business genius”. Wendy is both professional, personal, and creative. You are missing out if you do not contact her!”
— Betsy Smith
Beacon Creative Lab provided brand positioning strategy and coaching, as well as copy for Northwoods Virtual Solutions’ website update.

“Wendy is exceptionally talented at developing brand strategy and messaging. Wendy was able to harness all my energy and ideas and create messaging that felt like me and sounded like me, only better. By working with Wendy, I gained clarity and confidence in articulating my services and value. Wendy ROCKS!” — Tammy Olson

I have worked with Wendy via Blue Ridge OB/GYN Associates for about 2 years. Wendy has a talent for aesthetics and understanding clients which makes her stand out from other Strategy & Marketing Advisors. She pays close attention to what you say during consultation sessions and tries to capture the essence of your requests in final design outcome. She is an analytical strategist who takes great pride in her attention to the details and client’s values.
Wendy has the ability to handle multiple projects, all with great care… includ[ing] the ability to build rapport, extract key information, process, strategize, concept, collaborate and present. She is thoughtful and positive in every effort, and maintains a client’s perspective at all times. I have witnessed her successfully apply her craft and polished techniques to help businesses of all sizes build a marketing infrastructure, including brand development, marketing strategy and core messaging. A great team player, a great asset, a great person!
Wendy is one of the smartest and versatile people I have worked with. She always looks at the big picture of a project and brings thought-provoking ideas and a fresh perspective to anything she touches. She is an amazing copywriter and takes the time to really learn about the company or industry she is writing for to make sure she hits the nail on the head as far as the voice of the company and the mission they are trying to accomplish with whatever marketing piece it may be.
