How A Coaching Community Ethos Blossomed into a Product Line
Over the years in her deep work coaching people to align their businesses and lives, Leah Goard of DEFINE DESIGN ALIGN has developed a number of phrases and mantras that help her clients stay focused on what matters most to them.
"How you show up shapes your world."
"Take inspired imperfect action."
"Dance in the puddles."
We took the best of those gems and developed the DDA Manifesto: one beautiful, branded layout of all the best wisdom from Leah and her community. From this cohesive design we pulled individual quotes to feature in various media.
At first they were used simply on social media posts and in client materials such as the DDA Planner. Then, on gifts for clients and events.
Soon the most popular phrases became apparent, along with the demand for more products reflecting the DDA ethos.
We created beautiful branded merchandise for people to wear and use in their daily lives, such as yoga leggings and tote bags with a reminder to "Do something different", and journals with the Manifesto on the front plus an affirming message inside.
"When we originally created the Manifesto, I wasn't really aware of how I could use it to create further products and the impact it would have in terms of brand recognition. The Manifesto has gone on to create a depth of community and engagement and point of reference across my community. It's provided an opportunity to strengthen my brand across all mediums."
