Chef Deb Oxman | SHARPEN

Problem

After building Savor Culinary, a successful private chef and catering company in Fort Worth, TX, and becoming a nationally recognized leader in the private chef industry, Chef Deb Oxman saw a significant gap in professional development for culinary entrepreneurs. While private chefs excelled in the kitchen, many struggled with leadership, operations, profitability, marketing, and scaling their businesses.

Chef Deb envisioned SHARPEN as a first-of-its-kind educational experience that would bring together executive chefs, culinary entrepreneurs, and industry partners to learn from one another while building stronger, more sustainable businesses. 

In its 10th year, the challenge was attracting new and existing clients year-after-year, establishing immediate credibility to new chefs, and generating attendance from busy culinary professionals across the country.

Solution

ShuBu Creative Group partnered with Chef Deb to develop the SHARPEN 10th Annual Conference brand and execute a strategic marketing and public relations campaign designed to position both Chef Deb and SHARPEN as leaders within the culinary business community.

The campaign focused on:

  • Positioning Chef Deb as a nationally recognized business coach and thought leader for culinary entrepreneurs.

  • Building awareness and excitement leading up to the inaugural SHARPEN conference.

  • Developing strategic messaging that differentiated SHARPEN from traditional culinary conferences by focusing on business growth, leadership, and profitability.

  • Promoting the event through digital marketing, strategic partnerships, social media, email marketing, public relations, and thought leadership opportunities.

  • Leveraging Chef Deb's growing media presence and industry expertise to establish credibility with chefs, culinary business owners, and organizations serving the private chef industry.

Rather than simply filling seats, the strategy focused on building a movement around culinary leadership and creating a long-term platform that would extend beyond a single conference.

Impact

The 10th inaugural SHARPEN conference welcomed more than 100 executive chefs, culinary entrepreneurs, and industry partners from across the private chef industry, immediately establishing the event as a premier educational experience for culinary business owners.

The campaign helped elevate Chef Deb's visibility as one of the industry's leading business coaches while creating meaningful opportunities for continued growth.

Results included:

  • 100+ executive chefs and culinary industry professionals attended SHARPEN.

  • New coaching and advisory clients generated following the conference.

  • Increased visibility and credibility for Chef Deb as a culinary business strategist, keynote speaker, and industry thought leader.

  • Expanded relationships with strategic partners serving the private chef and culinary business community.

  • Media visibility through outlets including ABC, NBC, CBS, Authority Magazine, Indulge Magazine, Fort Worth Business Press, Entrepreneurial Chef, and additional industry publications.

  • Established the foundation for SHARPEN to grow into one of Chef Deb's signature programs supporting culinary entrepreneurs nationwide.

Today, SHARPEN serves as a cornerstone of Chef Deb's coaching ecosystem, helping culinary leaders build stronger businesses while reinforcing her reputation as one of the nation's leading voices in culinary entrepreneurship, including other workshops, webinars and retreats throughout the year before and after SHARPEN.

Americase International

Problem

Americase International had established itself as a highly respected provider of custom hazardous materials packaging, testing, and regulatory consulting for the lithium-ion battery industry. While the company was well known among existing customers, its expertise and innovative approach were not widely recognized across the broader industry.

As Americase expanded its integrated services, leadership recognized an opportunity to elevate the company's reputation beyond a trusted vendor to become one of the industry's leading authorities on lithium-ion battery safety, compliance, and innovation. Despite decades of expertise, the company had invested very little in strategic marketing, public relations, or executive thought leadership.

Solution

Working alongside Americase International's digital marketing team, ShuBu Creative developed a strategic content marketing and public relations program designed to position the company as a recognized industry thought leader.

Key objectives included:

  • Positioning Americase International as a leading authority in lithium-ion battery safety and regulatory compliance

  • Increasing awareness of its packaging, testing, and consulting services

  • Elevating executives and technical experts as trusted industry voices

  • Building momentum around the launch of Mastering Lithium-Ion Battery Safety—the industry's first comprehensive field guide on the subject

ShuBu Creative developed highly targeted media lists spanning battery technology, engineering, transportation, logistics, hazardous materials, manufacturing, and executive leadership publications. Rather than relying solely on product announcements, the strategy focused on sharing valuable industry expertise through thought leadership, educational content, executive interviews, and media outreach.

The book launch became the cornerstone of the campaign. Months before publication, ShuBu Creative secured media opportunities, distributed press kits, coordinated interviews, and generated anticipation leading up to the in-person launch event. To maximize visibility, customized media kits—including advance copies of the book and Kindle devices—were delivered to priority journalists and industry influencers.

Throughout the campaign, ShuBu Creative maintained a steady cadence of newsworthy announcements highlighting the company's educational webinar series, strategic executive hires, major business acquisition, and continued innovation within the battery safety industry.

Impact

By combining executive thought leadership, strategic media relations, educational content, and a high-profile book launch, Americase International significantly elevated its visibility and credibility across the battery safety industry.

The campaign generated coverage in respected national and trade publications, including:

  • CEO/CFO Magazine

  • Authority Magazine

  • National Law Review

  • Battery Technology

  • Design News

The launch of Mastering Lithium-Ion Battery Safety attracted more than 150 industry professionals and media representatives, creating valuable relationships while reinforcing Americase's position as one of the industry's most trusted voices on lithium-ion battery safety and compliance.

As a result, Americase strengthened awareness among manufacturers, logistics providers, defense contractors, energy companies, and other highly regulated industries—expanding its reputation from an established service provider to a recognized thought leader.

RPM Builders

Problem

​RPM Builders did not have a premium brochure to show potential clients. Even though they have been in business for 20 years, this was not a project they had taken on until they met the ShuBu Creative team.

Solution

​We identified their primary services - commercial build-outs and residential remodeling - and asked about the projects they were proud of in these sectors. We honed in what makes them different, their values and their process. We worked with them to collect imagery of their best projects in both sectors to create two separate brochures, one for each audience. The sales brochures also showcases their process, their experience and credibility.

Impact

While it seems like a simple project, it takes time and focus to get something like this done. RPM Builders now has a fantastic brochure to use in all sales presentations, along with a digital version they can email to prospective clients.

Sun Life Health

Problem

Sun Life Health (SLH) is a quality healthcare network and provider in Pinal County, Arizona. Their resources and reputation have grown over the last 45+ years and they came to ShuBu Creative to update their brand and messaging to better reflect who they are in today’s market. After a deep analysis, we discovered several key areas in need of alignment for both consistency and clarity.

We found that they had inconsistent branding across service lines, different naming conventions and slightly varying logos at their various locations. In fact, we determined that the logo and colors were very similar to Walmart’s branding, which ultimately translated to a discount feel in the consumer’s eye and did not show the depth and breadth of what they offered— top quality healthcare.

Through focus groups and our signature interview process, it was revealed that the word 'center,' which appeared in all their service lines, had different meanings to prospective patients. Finally, we found very little diversity in their marketing assets despite locations in very diverse areas.

Solution

We began by renaming Sun Life Family Healthcare Center to Sun Life Health. Next, we created a brand and visual identity to reflect that they are quality, reputable healthcare providers for everyone, regardless of race, age or socio-economic status. We updated the color palette to a brighter, more modern aesthetic- one unique to SLH. In addition to redesigning the logo to mark a sun moving in a circle, symbolizing innovative patient-centric care, we also changed all of their brand and marketing photography to be more inclusive and diverse. Finally, we launched a new messaging platform with more engaging, value-driven language to ensure connection with the audience. 

Impact

Sun Life Health now has solid brand guidelines and consistent branding across all channels. Since the re-brand, the organization has received several community recognitions, federal grants and awards. Executives at the hospital reported that they show an increase in awareness in the community by the volume of phone calls and appointments being made. They also reported the branding has also made recruiting easier, there have been fewer recruiting issues since redesigning the brand and website

Homestyle Direct

We built and designed a website with an e-commerce meal shopping and ordering experience, a multi-level case manager referral form process and integrated it with the company’s CRM system.

Problem

Homestyle Direct recognized the need to evolve its brand to better align with its growing offerings and changing market dynamics—the company had grown from a meal delivery service for food insecurity into a comprehensive healthcare company offering home-delivered meals to Medicaid Advantage and Medicare members.

The existing brand identity was 26 years old and no longer fully represented the company's full offering, necessitating a comprehensive rebranding. The challenge was to develop new messaging and a visual identity that positioned Homestyle Direct as a healthcare company with many meal choices and meals that were medically tailored to specific disease states - heart disease, renal disease, diabetes, gluten intolerance and other chronic conditions. Additionally, the rebranding had to be implemented across all platforms, including an outdated e-commerce website, to ensure a cohesive and seamless experience for multiple audiences: elderly, adult children, healthcare case managers, state agencies and healthcare companies.

Solution

The initial step involved comprehensive market research to understand industry trends, customer needs, and the competitive landscape. This research laid the foundation for developing a messaging strategy that would resonate with the target audience. The key focus was to hone in on the messaging that accurately reflected the brand's values and offerings. Alongside the messaging refinement, a new visual identity was developed and launched. The visual identity comprised a new logo, colors, supporting graphical elements, iconography, font packages and photography style. Once approved and trademarked, we updated the website design, all social media channels, and email templates to reflect the new brand image and messaging. This also included programming a new e-commerce website (not only frontend design), fully designed to meet the needs of multiple audiences, including a shop for meals, referral forms for case managers and information for state agencies and partners. To ensure effective implementation, training and communication were provided to the internal team on how to use the messaging toolkit and all new sales collateral effectively. This step was crucial to maintaining a unified brand voice across all departments and platforms. Included in the training was lots of new swag given out to employees, including puffer jackets, hoodies, stickers, pens, and more! The final step was launching a comprehensive marketing campaign targeting Case Managers, and also the company’s database of current members. The invigorated communications were sent consistently and frequently to both case managers and the existing members. We leveraged Homestyle Direct’s social media channels, CRM databases, and national press releases to communicate new medically-tailored meals, updated menus, and the variety the company provided for its members.

Impact

Here's the exciting part: We met the challenge and exceeded it! Meal orders skyrocketed by an impressive 87% year-over-year, and we grew their customer base by 32% after the first marketing campaign post-rebrand. Now after 2-years, revenue grew from $40M to $60M due to the re-branding, new marketing efforts, strong sales team and stronger operations overall.

Mikvah of East Denver

Problem

A unique development was coming to the Jewish Community in Denver—this project entailed developing a brand for a Mikvah 'coming soon to Denver. While the Mikvah was not operational, the goal was to raise enough money to sustain construction.

Therefore, we need a strong brand that catches high-end donors' attention.

Solution

While being built, we developed a strategy to promote the construction project and gain awareness in the community with a vibrant and relevant visual identity and messaging system. The messaging was open to anyone and education-focused, while the visual identity needed to be fresh and modern.

​Impact

The brand reflected a water-like feel derived from what a Mikvah is for the Jewish community. The dots resembled a Jewish star within the design, which was modern and catchy. In addition, a watercolorist enhanced the brand by texturing the renderings and photographs, giving the entire brand an elevated and classy feel.

We helped a 20-year in the making vision come to life and launch in six months. Now, the Mikvah not only raised $250 Million in the capital, but they are also up and running now and serving the Jews in Denver and surrounding areas.

Commerce City Police Department

Problem

In recent years, especially since the death of George Floyd, fewer and fewer people are choosing a career in law enforcement and existing officers are either jumping from department to department or retiring.

Commerce City Police Department (CCPD) came to ShuBu Creative after facing significant staffing crises like many other police departments nationwide. Their goal? To hire 20 police officers, 11 civilians and counting, by the end of 2022 and more officers in 2023. They were also receiving less then 100 applications during the hiring season, needed a complete rebrand of their organization’s image, and implementation of an effective recruiting process overall. 

Solution

Shubu Creative designed a branding, PR and marketing strategy to show the positive attributes of the culture at CCPD and attract the desired candidates. Our goal was to change the narrative, and our research showed that CCPD is dedicated to internal culture change and community policing. We created an entire messaging and brand identity around this, a new recruitment landing page, social media ads, photography, and video and implemented these assets through paid digital media and social media channels. The campaign focuses on diversity, females, police reform, engaging the next generation of police for their academy, and recruiting certified officers.

Impact

The results indicate that the strategic messaging and creative assets resonated with audiences. Over the course of the campaign, which was 16 months, CCPD received 600 (compared to less than 100) applications and hired 30 officers (original goal was 20) from the marketing efforts!

Vannin Chief of Staff

Problem

Formally known as Vannin Consulting, their name and brand did not clearly explain the benefit of what they deliver. They were about a year into business, but growing quickly. When Vannin started, there were not many doing what they did in the marketplace.

Solution

We immediately changed their name from Vannin Consulting to Vannin Chief of Staff to be more specific around what they offered—placing chief of staff in scaling and global companies. We createda brand that was more engaging and dynamic than the limited organizations in their industry. We wanted them to standout so we went with a bold approach vs. the traditional feel that we got from our competitor research. Keep in mind there were not many competitors at the time. They came to us in the early states with a basic brand using stock photos, limited color and lack of clear messaging. We improved their messaging to align with who they were at the time, but we thought about the future and the potential they had. We updated their logo and visual identity to be unique, bold and modern. We implemented a marketing plan focusing on Linkedin, collateral for clients such as pitch decks and brochures, and also got started on media outreach for credibility.

Impact

Vannin Chief of Staff has reported 80% growth year-over-year since branding then and they’ve seen their followers increase from almost nothing on Linkedin to now more than 3,000 and growing. Not only have they increased their revenue threefold over two years, our PR efforts have helped them be recognized in global business publications. We also helped the founder/CEO apply for awards and she was named a 40 under 40 person to watch by the Denver Business Journal.

Dolgin Leadership Group

 
 

Problem

Dolgin Leadership Group, formerly BraverMe, realized the need for a more robust and refined brand as their clients evolved from emerging to established leaders. The previous brand identity and messaging no longer accurately represented the depth and breadth of their coaching, training, and facilitation services, which now focused on leadership and communication coaching. They required a new brand to better resonate with their target audience and convey their value proposition more clearly.

Solution

To create a more sophisticated and compelling brand for Dolgin Leadership Group, the team embarked on a comprehensive rebranding process. The first and most visible change was the transition from BraverMe to Dolgin Leadership Group. This change helped position the brand as a group focused on leadership and solidify its credibility in the industry.

Additionally, the brand's visual identity was revamped. The previous logo, featuring a sun, was replaced with a flame symbolizing transformation and growth. The winding path within the flame signified the journey and guidance provided by Dolgin Leadership Group. The tagline "Bring out your best" was replaced with "Lead with Clarity," reflecting their commitment to helping leaders achieve clarity in their decision-making and actions.

Furthermore, a new website was developed to showcase the updated brand and provide a more intuitive and user-friendly experience for visitors. The website incorporated the new visual elements and presented the range of coaching, training, and facilitation services offered by Dolgin Leadership Group in a clear and organized manner.

Impact

The rebranding efforts undertaken by Dolgin Leadership Group had a significant impact on their positioning, messaging, and overall perception in the market. The transition to a more refined and sophisticated brand allowed them to better align their identity with the evolving needs of their clients.

The new brand name, Dolgin Leadership Group, conveyed a sense of professionalism and expertise, further establishing its credibility as a trusted partner in leadership development. The updated visual identity, with the flame and winding path symbol, evoked a sense of transformation, growth, and guidance, resonating with their target audience of established leaders.

The tagline change to "Lead with Clarity" succinctly communicated the core value proposition of Dolgin Leadership Group. It positioned them as experts in helping leaders navigate complex situations and make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.

The newly developed website provided a platform for Dolgin Leadership Group to showcase its services and expertise in a more organized and visually appealing manner. It allowed potential clients to quickly understand the range of coaching, training, and facilitation offerings, leading to increased inquiries and engagement.

Overall, the rebranding of Dolgin Leadership Group resulted in a more substantial brand presence, clearer messaging, and improved market positioning. The refined brand identity and updated website played a crucial role in attracting the right target audience, conveying the value of their services, and establishing Dolgin Leadership Group as a trusted partner in leadership development.
