Branding

One Focus

From employees to managers, OneFocus helps everyone have visibility into their tasks, productivity, and projects. The app lessens finger-pointing and dropped balls in industries like healthcare, IT, and manufacturing. Founder Marc Singer developed OneFocus for his computer services business. As it evolved, colleagues began asking if it would work for them, too. Merton Way helped launch OneFocus, formulating its positioning, consulting on go-to-market strategy, and building its first website.

The Ask

OneFocus is business process management software. Or is it? This platform also tracks and pings you when steps are being missed in quality control…or property management…or IT customer support. It is an incredibly flexible system that’s ideal for small to medium businesses wanting greater accountability in the field or in the shop.

The challenge? When they approached Merton Way, there was no brand, no website and no central message or position.

The Work

Startups are exciting. You’re at once thrilled and afraid to pin down your brand and go-to-market strategy. But you know you can’t remain all things to all people forever. There’s some fear of commitment to any one market or message.

Merton Way worked with the founder and his team to develop a look-and-feel and a “starter kit,” so that sales had some basics. A website. Some talking points. And a few key graphics, so prospects could wrap their heads around the vast capabilities of the software.

The Win

In less than one month from the first phone call, Merton Way positioned the brand and created some working standards. The copy platform provided sales key talking points. And a website was developed and launched.

Soon after, fun stuff, like business cards, letterhead and other essentials, helped the company feel like it was truly in business.

Then, as deals came in the door that reflected the new focus, a confidence in being as focused as this software promises felt fantastic.

Case studies

Competing with Loom.com isn’t easy. But Merton Way helped a smaller SaaS company offering asynchronous video to pivot and find a niche among new enterprise customers like Adobe, Mazda, and Liberty Mutual. The full-service engagement included a quantitative pricing study that pinpointed the packaging and costs of the client's "good, better, best" subscriptions. The agency also decreased marketing spend by $1.3 million...meaning, our agency is in the business of more efficient revenue production.

Visitors to 29 Palms are very different than those bound for Palm Springs. Both typically attract Californians. But their demographics could not be more different. Camo vs. cabanas. Beer vs. espresso martinis. 29 Palms needed to send a clear message of astonishing landscapes and an “old California” vibe.

Roasting in small batches, Gold Coffee sources from hand-selected farms and relies on the expertise of roast masters rather than automated equipment. Batch roasting gives Gold Coffee a distinct aromatic profile. The taste of each varietal is determined by the microclimate in which it is grown and the intensity of the roast. There's so many brands out there making claims. How do we share Gold's nuances with consumers?
