When Launch Hydrate approached Forward Thinkers, they weren’t just looking for marketing help.

They were looking for a partner who could unlock momentum.

Despite consistent go-to-market efforts, they faced four major challenges:

  • Undefined brand identity

  • Inconsistent sales collateral

  • Low audience engagement

  • A disjointed social presence across channels

In an increasingly saturated wellness and hydration market, they needed more than short-term tactics.

They needed a brand transformation system — and that’s where we came in.

The Challenge: Good Product, Broken Ecosystem

Launch Hydrate had a solid offering and passionate leadership. But their marketing infrastructure couldn’t keep up with the ambition of the brand.

Common issues included:

  • Visual inconsistency across packaging, sales decks, and digital

  • A fragmented story that changed platform to platform

  • Low conversion despite consistent effort

Like many emerging brands, the pieces were there — they just weren’t connected.

And disconnected systems lead to stalled growth.

The Forward Thinkers Strategy: From Foundations to Flight

We took a full-spectrum approach built on our three core pillars:

1. Data-Driven Insights

2. Purposeful Storytelling

3. Integrated Campaign Execution

Here’s how we applied it to Launch Hydrate:

1. Clarified Their Brand Identity

We led a brand deep dive to define:

  • Voice, tone, and positioning

  • Mission and brand values

  • Audience segments and content pillars

From this, we created a brand framework that became the blueprint for all future marketing — ensuring every visual, line of copy, and campaign reinforced who Launch Hydrate was meant to be.

2. Redesigned Sales & Digital Collateral

We built branded assets from the ground up:

  • Product visuals & spec sheets

  • Sales decks for buyer meetings

  • Social templates for Reels, Stories, and carousels

  • Website optimizations for clarity and performance

This gave their team the tools to sell consistently and confidently — whether at retail buyer meetings or community activations.

3. Launched a Social-Driven Engagement Plan

We knew Launch Hydrate’s ideal customers lived on social — but the brand wasn’t breaking through.

So we developed a multi-channel campaign built on:

  • Relatable, story-driven content

  • Community-focused messaging (think: athletes, youth sports, wellness lifestyle)

  • Smart scheduling with social automation tools

  • Collaborations with key partners like Perfect Game to expand reach


The result?

20% increase in customer engagement in 3 months

→ Major lift in social sentiment and brand recall

→ Positive ROI from new partnerships and boosted awareness

The Results: Sustainable Growth & Market Presence

Within 90 days of our engagement:

  • Social engagement increased 20%

  • Content production scaled 3x

  • Sales tools improved win rates with new retailers

  • Strategic partnerships boosted national brand credibility

But the biggest win?

Launch Hydrate walked away with clarity, consistency, and confidence — the foundations of any brand built to last.
