CASE STUDY — RENOVATION & DESIGN & CONSTRUCT

NEWR

A premium Canberra renovation and design-and-construct business with exceptional work and a word-of-mouth reputation. Limited marketing system, basic lead pipeline, and no way to scale what they'd built.

THE BRIEF

Map the complete customer journey from first touch to project completion, design and build the infrastructure to manage every lead with consistency, and create the marketing foundations to drive qualified enquiries at scale.

01 Foundation

NEWR came to us with a quality problem that most businesses would love to have - the work was exceptional, the reputation was strong, and repeat and referral business was coming in. But there was a limited system behind it.

Enquiries were handled manually with a limited visibility across the spectrum, an consistent follow-up process, and no way to nurture leads through what is, by nature, a long and considered decision cycle. The business was growing through relationship and reputation alone - and had limited marketing infrastructure to accelerate or sustain that growth.

We ran a structured Customer Journey Mapping and Automation Planning session with the leadership team to map how enquiries were currently moving through the business, where they were falling through, and what a connected, scalable system needed to look like.

THE PROBLEM

A renovation business operating entirely on trust and referral, with no defined lead management process, a basic CRM pipeline, and limited automation in place. Enquiries were coming in but there was no consistent way to respond, follow up, qualify, or convert them. The sales journey from first contact to signed project was entirely entirely dependent on the team's capacity to manage it.

STRATEGY SESSION

We conducted a deep-dive session with the NEWR leadership team covering their customer profiles, growth priorities, pain points across the sales and delivery journey, and the key funnel stages from attract through to advocacy. The output was a complete Customer Journey and Automation Blueprint - a practical roadmap connecting strategy to system implementation.

POSITIONING & MESSAGING

We defined NEWR's position as Canberra's trusted end-to-end renovation partner - a design-and-construct model that eliminates the fragmentation of managing multiple trades and designers. The key message across all marketing: one team, one process, one seamless outcome. This became the anchor for all customer-facing communication and campaign content.

02

Insight

NEWR's audience isn't one type of person. The renovation decision looks completely different depending on who's making it and why.

We identified three primary audience segments and mapped the distinct emotional drivers, barriers, and decision triggers for each - because the same message doesn't convert a empty nester making their forever home more comfortable and a dual-income family trying to add a kitchen they can actually live in.

AUDIENCE RESEARCH

We mapped three core audience profiles.

Each segment required a different entry point, different messaging, and different lead nurture logic.

COMPETITOR REVIEW

We reviewed how NEWR sat relative to other renovation businesses operating in the Canberra and Queanbeyan market, assessing how competitors presented themselves online, what channels they were active in, and where the gaps existed.

THE INSIGHT THAT DROVE EVERYTHING

Renovation is one of the highest-stress, highest-stakes purchases a homeowner makes. The fear of being ripped off, blown out on budget, or left with a half-finished kitchen while living in a construction zone is real. NEWR's design-and-construct model directly eliminates those fears - but only if the marketing communicates it clearly and builds enough trust before anyone picks up the phone. Every system and every piece of content was built to earn that trust first.

03

System

This is where the bulk of Brandscape's work sat for NEWR. Not just strategy - actual infrastructure. A connected marketing and sales system built in Go High Level, from the ground up.

Sales Pipeline Design & Build - designed and built a structured pipeline covering every step of NEWR's sales journey. Each stage triggers its own automation logic.
CRM Setup & Contact Management - full contact environment with auto-tagging by project type, lead source tracking, and repeat client identification.
Automation Flows - built the complete automation ecosystem across the full customer lifecycle including.
Brand Campaign Landing Page - built and launched the campaign landing page at welcome.newr.com.au including full technical setup.
Category Landing Pages - built segmented landing pages, each with a dedicated lead magnet, GHL form, delivery automation, tag assignment, email follow-up trigger, and behaviour-based segmentation logic.
Lead Magnets - produced lead magnet guides, each connected to GHL with automated delivery and nurture sequencing.
Calendar & Consultation Setup - configured the consultation booking calendar connected to the landing page including availability settings, booking confirmation email and SMS, reminder sequence, internal lead alert notifications, and missed booking handling.
WordPress to GHL Integration - cross linking their main site with crm and sub-domains.
Dashboards & Pipeline Visibility - configured lead overview and sales pipeline dashboards.

Creation

With the system built and the audience mapped, we produced the creative assets to drive traffic, capture leads, and nurture prospects through the journey.

Campaign Strategy - full digital campaign strategy developed for NEWR's Canberra and Queanbeyan market, aligned to the design-and-construct positioning and the three core audience segments.
Digital Media Ad Creative - concept and design of static and video ad creative using NEWR's project assets, with messaging aligned to the campaign narrative and all ads directed to welcome.newr.com.au with UTM tracking for performance measurement.
Lead Magnet Guides - professionally designed PDF guides connected to automated delivery and designed to position NEWR as the authoritative renovation partner before a conversation even begins.
Email Nurture Sequences — behaviour-driven email sequences developed for each audience segment and pipeline stage.
SMS Sequences — automated SMS communications built across the pipeline.

05

Activation

With the infrastructure live and creative assets in market, the focus shifted to driving qualified traffic into the system through paid digital channels.

MEDIA PLANNING

Developed the full digital media strategy targeting NEWR's three core audience segments across the Canberra and Queanbeyan market. Channel selection was based on where each audience segment actually researches renovation decisions.

MEDIA BUYING & MANAGEMENT

Campaign traffic directed to welcome.newr.com.au with UTM tracking applied across all placements for clear attribution. Ad creative built from NEWR's existing project assets and the Deakin project renders, with messaging aligned to the campaign narrative and segmented by project type and audience.

06

Evolution

The system is live and active. The work now is making sure it keeps performing — and adapting as NEWR grows.

Analytics & Attribution Monitoring - regular review of GA4 data, UTM performance, and form conversion rates across all landing pages to identify which channels, audiences, and messages are driving qualified leads.
Pipeline & Automation Reviews - ongoing monitoring of pipeline health, automation trigger accuracy, and lead flow through each stage to ensure the system is working as designed and no leads are falling through.
Campaign Optimisation - ongoing refinement of ad creative, audience targeting, and landing page conversion based on performance data coming through the connected tracking and analytics setup.
System Expansion - as NEWR grows and new project categories come online (Extensions, Full Renovations), the existing infrastructure is designed to scale - new landing pages, lead magnets, and audience segments can be added within the same connected system without rebuilding from scratch.
Ongoing Opportunity Identification - the quarterly NEWR Home Journal email sequence, referral program, and client spotlight content keep past clients engaged and generating referral pipeline.
