Elevating a Handmade Brand Through Strategic Marketing

Scope of Work

Brand Strategy • Marketing Consulting • Social Media Management • Email Marketing • Brand Refresh • Content Creation • Photography Direction • Trade Show Marketing • Marketing Analytics

Project Overview

DeVeer Designs is a Montana-based handcrafted fused glass jewelry company known for vibrant colors, artistic craftsmanship, and a loyal following of retailers and collectors. Our collaboration focused on strengthening the company's marketing presence while maintaining the authentic personality that had made the brand successful. The goal was to create a more consistent marketing strategy that supported both wholesale and retail audiences while allowing the owners to remain focused on designing and running the business.

The Challenge

Like many growing handmade businesses, DeVeer Designs had developed a strong reputation through trade shows and retailer relationships, but its marketing efforts had become inconsistent.

Key goals included:

  • Re-establish a consistent social media presence
  • Refresh the brand without losing its legacy identity
  • Relaunch email marketing
  • Better balance wholesale and retail messaging
  • Increase customer engagement
  • Support product launches and virtual expo promotions

The Outcome

Together we created a more cohesive marketing strategy that strengthened DeVeer Designs' brand across social media, email marketing, and customer communications.

The result was a consistent brand voice, improved engagement, stronger customer relationships, and marketing systems that supported ongoing product launches while respecting wholesale partnerships.

Work Examples

  • Brand Refresh

    Rather than redesigning the logo, we expanded the existing identity by creating supporting brand elements that reinforced the company's Montana roots and handcrafted story.

    The refreshed branding provided greater consistency across marketing materials while preserving the recognition the company had already built.

  • Social Media Management

    A comprehensive social media strategy re-established a consistent presence after more than six months of inactivity.

    Content combined product photography, behind-the-scenes stories, humor, educational content, new collection launches, retailer features, and short-form video to reflect the authentic DeVeer voice.

  • Email Marketing

    Email marketing was redesigned to better reflect the refreshed brand while creating a more personal connection with customers.

    Campaigns Highlighted: New Collections • Studio Updates • Behind-the-Scenes Content • Retail Promotions • Trade Show Schedules • Exclusive Offers

  • Marketing Strategy & Consulting

    Early in the partnership, I traveled to DeVeer's Montana studio to better understand the business, products, customers, and brand personality.

    This immersive discovery process informed a comprehensive marketing audit and strategic recommendations that shaped future marketing decisions.

    Marketing campaigns were developed to support new collections throughout the year, coordinating email marketing, social media, photography, and promotional graphics into cohesive launches.

Building a Stronger Brand Presence

From brand strategy and social media to email marketing and product launches, every piece of the marketing ecosystem worked together to strengthen DeVeer Designs' visibility while preserving the authentic personality customers already loved.
