HOLLY JO RADTKE
case study
Holly came to me with a powerful story and a book she was ready to share with the world.
She had the message and the mission. What she needed was a brand presence that felt aligned with her voice and a launch strategy that could carry her story forward with confidence.
Together, we built a complete visual and strategic foundation that supported her book launch and set her up for long‑term growth.
What Holly Needed Before We Started
project goals
This project was all about creating a brand identity and launch suite that reflected the emotional depth of Holly’s story. She wanted visuals that felt warm and grounded, messaging that felt clear and confident, and a launch experience that felt polished and intentional. My role was to bring all of that to life through design, storytelling, and strategy.
This project was all about creating a brand identity and launch suite that reflected the emotional depth of Holly’s story. She wanted visuals that felt warm and grounded, messaging that felt clear and confident, and a launch experience that felt polished and intentional. My role was to bring all of that to life through design, storytelling, and strategy.
When Holly reached out, she didn’t have a unified brand identity or a clear visual direction for her launch. She had a meaningful message but no cohesive way to communicate it. She also needed help shaping the narrative for her case study and creating graphics that would support her book reveal, social content, and promotional materials.
Brand Strategy and Creative Direction
I began by diving into Holly’s story. I studied her themes, her tone, her audience, and the emotional arc of her book. From there, I created a brand direction that felt soft, grounded, and deeply human. The visual language centered around warm tones, organic textures, and typography that balanced strength with vulnerability. This direction became the foundation for every asset that followed.
Design Deliverables
Holly’s project included a full suite of branded assets designed to support her launch and carry her message forward. This included her moodboard, brand elements, before and after graphics, social media content, launch reveal graphics, and a complete case study layout. I also created a printed insert for her marketing bags so she could share her story in person.
The Story We Told
before
Holly had a strong message but lacked the visual clarity and consistency to communicate it. She needed a brand presence that matched the emotional depth of her book.
during
We worked closely to define her brand identity, refine her messaging, and build a cohesive visual system. Holly shared her story, her goals, her challenges, and her favorite parts of the process. These pieces shaped the narrative and helped us create a case study that felt true to her journey.
after
Holly walked away with a complete brand ecosystem and a library of launch‑ready graphics. Her brand now feels aligned, confident, and ready for growth.
