The Client
HealU
HealU, a multi-modality wellness center specializing in nutrition, float therapy, massage therapy, red light therapy, and sauna services, had built a strong reputation but lacked a brand identity that fully captured its mission. With an evolving suite of services and an increasing need for clarity in the wellness space, the company required a strategic brand refresh that unified its messaging, enhanced its visual presence, and positioned it for long-term growth.
Recognizing W.Bradford’s expertise in brand transformation, HealU partnered with the agency to conduct a brand audit, develop a strategic brand framework, refine its messaging, and evolve its visual identity. The goal was to create a cohesive, compelling, and calming brand that clearly communicated HealU’s holistic approach to wellness.

The Challenge
HealU has expanded significantly over time, integrating multiple healing modalities under one roof. However, its existing brand identity failed to reflect the full scope of its services, leading to confusion among potential clients. The branding felt disjointed, and there was no clear messaging strategy to differentiate HealU in an increasingly crowded wellness industry.
Beyond visual and verbal identity challenges, HealU needed a research-backed brand evolution to ensure its new positioning resonated with both existing and potential customers. The challenge was twofold: refreshing the brand’s look and feel while also clarifying its core messaging to better educate and attract its audience.

The Strategy
W.Bradford took a data-driven and research-backed approach to the brand refresh, ensuring that every decision was rooted in insights from the wellness industry, customer sentiment, and a competitive analysis. The strategy focused on three core areas:
- Brand Audit & Research – Conducting a comprehensive review of HealU’s existing brand, industry trends, customer feedback, and competitor positioning to identify key opportunities.
- Brand Strategy & Messaging – Developing a unique value proposition, target personas, core messaging framework, and a prioritized implementation plan to ensure brand consistency across all touchpoints.
- Visual & Creative Development – Updating HealU’s typography, color palette, photography guidelines, and design elements, as well as refining its logo to create a modern yet soothing brand aesthetic.
The brand evolution needed to feel natural, calming, and empowering, aligning with the holistic and welcoming environment that HealU provides for its clients.
The Execution
Over three months, W.Bradford collaborated closely with HealU’s leadership, particularly through ongoing discussions with Amber, to ensure alignment with the company’s goals. The project began with an in-depth brand audit, which included a customer sentiment survey, competitive analysis, and a full review of HealU’s existing positioning. These insights informed the next phase—developing a refined brand strategy that clearly articulated HealU’s value proposition and established a cohesive messaging framework.
With the strategic foundation in place, W.Bradford modernized HealU’s visual identity, ensuring the color palette, typography, and imagery reflected the company’s calming and client-centric philosophy. The team also created an updated brand narrative and manifesto, along with refreshed homepage copy that concisely communicated HealU’s diverse offerings. To ensure consistency, W.Bradford developed a comprehensive brand guidelines document that provided clear direction on brand voice, design elements, and marketing application.

"We are dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized women’s wellness care that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment."
As the final step, W.Bradford worked with HealU’s internal marketing team to implement the new brand, conducting a Marketing Team Enablement Workshop to review the updated assets and messaging framework. This ensured that the HealU team could confidently maintain the refreshed identity across all customer touchpoints, from digital platforms to in-person experiences.
The Results
HealU’s brand transformation successfully clarified its identity, improved customer perception, and set the stage for future growth. The refreshed branding provided a more cohesive and polished look, while the updated messaging framework made it easier for potential clients to understand HealU’s holistic offerings.
The new brand narrative and visual identity positioned HealU as a modern, trustworthy, and professional wellness brand, enhancing its credibility and helping it stand out in an increasingly competitive space. The refreshed homepage copy and strategic messaging framework provided the team with a structured, consistent way to communicate their mission and services, reducing confusion and improving engagement.
Internal teams embraced the new branding, and the Marketing Team Enablement Workshop ensured a smooth adoption of the refreshed identity. By equipping the team with the right tools and guidelines, HealU was set up for long-term success with a brand that truly reflects its values and services.
