Brand Review
Next Wave Services — Master Brand Review
Purpose: Before changing anything, here is exactly what exists. Every asset, every public face, every inconsistency, every gap. Read this first, then decide what to change.
Quick Summary
| Category | Status | Key Finding |
|---|---|---|
| Brand identity | Defined | Logo, colors, fonts in use across all assets |
| Public faces | Consistent | Ashley + Angelique are the team — Bryan is hidden |
| Niche positioning | Drifting | Landing pages = home services. Main site = generic |
| Landing pages | Fully branded | 3,103 pages with NWS logo, colors, voice, team |
| Video content | Missing | Zero video. No TikTok. No founding story. |
| Gap analysis | — | What's solid, what needs fixing, quick wins |
What We Learned
- The landing pages are the strongest brand asset. 3,103 of them, fully branded, excellent voice. They're better than the main website.
- Bryan is correctly hidden. Ashley + Angelique are the public faces, and they work well. No forced founder story needed.
- The niche is drifting. Landing pages = home services. Main site = "Charlotte businesses." The landing pages proved what works — commit to it.
- Main website voice needs work. The landing pages say "here's what we found, and how to fix it." The main site says "we wake up every day to change lives through creative service." One converts. One sounds like every agency ever.
- Video is the biggest gap. Zero video content exists. The 70-20-10 strategy is a document, not a reality. This is where to invest next.
- The marketing engine is sophisticated. Don't rebuild it. Brand it, tighten the niche, add video, align the main site voice. That's the whole fix.
