Case Study

New Creations Mobile Restorations

Marketing Specialist 1yr
Fractional CMO 5yrs

In my first year with New Creations, I took on the role marketing specialist and led a thorough review of their processes, software, and vendor contracts. This resulted in a significant reduction in the company’s annual expenses by over $120,000. This strategic cost management was not at the detriment of growth, but rather, it was coupled with the design and execution of a high-impact marketing campaign that generated an impressive $10 million in additional revenue over the next six years.

My strategic approach and leadership has driven substantial growth for New Creations. In the past five years, they have grown more than the previous 25 years combined. This rapid growth has made New Creations one of the fastest-growing mobile franchise companies in North America.

Our combined success has been recognized with numerous industry awards, year after year. My work at New Creations demonstrates the impact of strategic marketing and strong leadership on a company's growth and success.
