Case Study

How Limonata Creative Achieved an 8x ROI Within 60 Days

The Before

When Limonata came to Lubin & Co., they already had strong momentum: a well-respected brand, a loyal base of repeat clients, and a talented husband-wife team. With the husband recently joining the business to bring branding and web design expertise, they were naturally evolving from a photo styling studio into a full-service creative agency.

The challenge was that their operations and marketing hadn't caught up, leaving the business presenting as two separate offerings rather than one cohesive brand.

Services were offered a la carte, resulting in an unclear marketing strategy and inefficient sales cycle. The booking and intake process had unnecessary friction that slowed the sales cycle and created extra admin work on the front-end. There was no system for tracking leads or analyzing pipeline data to better inform marketing decisions.

We first approached Melissa after a panel she hosted on how to leverage overseas talent, but after our initial Discovery Call, Melissa identified that we were leaving money on the table, and needed to fix that before we expanded our team.

We were too close to the business to see it ourselves, and she noticed it right out of the gate. That’s when we realized we needed her guidance to help us approach the next phase of our agency’s growth and hit our revenue goals.
