Lindora has been at the forefront of the healthy lifestyle movement since it began its weight loss clinics in Southern California in the early 70’s.

The healthy living space however is very crowded, and they needed to define their positioning and customer profile properly. 
 

The Build By Blank team used their proprietary approach to analyze existing data and perform primary and secondary data research to create specific customer personas and narrowly define Lindora’s customer segmentation within the broader health and wellness category. By defining a precise brand positioning for Lindora, the content creation team executed photography and copy to drive more traffic and sales for Lindora.

Built By Blank helped Forty Five Ten migrate from the Magento platform to Shopify Plus. With the help of ethnographic research, we were able to identify gaps and pain points that needed to be addressed on the new Shopify Plus platform.

Wildbird manufacturers high quality, sustainable and ethically made baby slings. 

The one we found in the early hours of those first few days – the deep connection we felt when we kept our babies close enough to soothe them with our breathing.

There’s something so natural and beautiful about cuddling up with your little bird in soft, cozy linen. We love the ring sling in particular because it’s quick to adjust, versatile and attractive – but it’s so much more than a hands-free device. It’s a way to honor the bond between you, a bond that was created way back when your heartbeat was the only thing they knew. We’ll always honor it here, at WildBird; it’s the driving force behind everything we do.
