The Challenge

Kisa Marx is an author, educator, and Founder of Play Lab NFP in Oak Park, Illinois. Through her book, We Are Who We’re Waiting For (Redleaf Press), and the Play Lab methodology, she helps school districts trade compliance for connection and address teacher burnout at its root. Her work is mission-critical. Her marketing system was not keeping up.

The core problem: Kisa was marketing three separate things at once. Her book. Her nonprofit. Herself as a keynote speaker and professional development facilitator. With no unified strategy connecting them, messaging was scattered and prospective partners had to work too hard to understand what she offered. As a solo founder running everything by hand, the content creation never stopped.

"Running a business as a team of one has looked like stretching myself thin to do all of the things for far too long. I knew what needed to be done, but didn't have the tools to do it."

What We Did

Through a focused 60-minute Marketing Strategy Spark Call, KRCS delivered The District Partnership Blueprint: a complete 90-day roadmap built around three interconnected strategic pivots.

One Unified Authority

Consolidated Kisa’s three separate brands into a single, clear positioning: the go-to resource for school districts ready to move from compliance to connection. One authority. One message.

Hub and Spoke Content System

Designed a weekly content framework that creates one central piece of original content (the Hub) and distributes it across all platforms as smaller pieces (the Spokes). One idea becomes a full week of consistent, on-brand marketing.

The District Partnership Strategy

Shifted the business model from selling individual books to targeting district-level partnerships through staff bundles. One relationship delivers significantly greater reach and revenue than hundreds of individual transactions.

The Outcome

In Kisa's Words

"Prior to the strategy spark, I felt like I had all of my figurative tabs open and my task list was overflowing. Within one quarter, I was able to close 75% of those tabs, which allowed me to work smarter, not harder."

"What was once scattered across dozens of open tabs is now neatly categorized and filed away, making it far less overwhelming to know what needs my immediate attention, what can be tackled in chunks, and what can stay in the file until the other work is done. And I'm grateful for that."

"The function of freedom is to free someone else. And in my opinion, freedom is time and choice. Businesses like KRCS are doing liberatory work by giving their clients the time to return to their creative genius and the choice to do it in a way that best fits their lifestyle. Solo entrepreneurs are no longer bogged down, too busy to live. We know what needs to be done and how to do it. Now we can get back to the business of living."

The Challenge

A wellness coaching business had developed a premium 6-week coaching program but had no clear path to promote it. The messaging felt scattered. The content strategy was undefined. And there was no structured funnel to move interested prospects toward enrollment. They needed real, actionable direction without committing to a long-term agency engagement.

What We Did

Through a focused 60-minute Marketing Strategy Spark Call, KRCS delivered a complete, ready-to- implement blueprint across three areas.

Messaging Clarity

Refined the program’s core messaging to articulate its unique holistic approach, including the signature outcomes of Gut Harmony and Food Freedom, in language that immediately resonates with a premium market.

Content Strategy

Developed specific recommendations for high-performing content pillars tailored to attract affluent women ages 35 to 55 who are actively seeking transformation.

Lead Nurturing Funnel

Built a detailed 5-email sequence to move prospects through awareness, consideration, and decision stages and convert them into premium program enrollments.

The Outcome

This is exactly what the Marketing Strategy Spark was built for: real direction, real results, in 60 minutes. If this sounds like where you are right now, your next step is right below.

Generic playbooks. All content customized.

The Challenge

A corporate training firm needed a customized professional development solution for their senior management team. The goal: give high-level employees a clear framework for defining and communicating their personal brand. Without it, every leader tells a different story, and the company brand pays the price in consistency, credibility, and marketing effectiveness.

What We Did

KRCS designed and delivered a customized workshop titled “Your Personal Brand Kit: Level Up Your Career,” built around three interconnected pillars.

Brand DNA Discovery

Guided participants in identifying their core values and professional strengths as the foundation of their personal brand, ensuring authenticity and consistency in all communications.

Narrative Crafting

Taught managers to articulate their Unique Value Proposition and develop a memorable 30-second elevator pitch ready for immediate use in client meetings, stakeholder presentations, and networking conversations.

Presence and Impact

Provided strategic guidance on LinkedIn optimization and intentional networking as key external marketing channels.

The Outcome

The Challenge

A debut author needed to introduce their new publication to the market, establish a brand presence from scratch, and convert early awareness into tangible sales during the critical 90-day post-launch window. In a crowded literary market, visibility doesn’t happen by accident.

What We Did

KRCS developed and executed a comprehensive 120-day launch campaign built on four interconnected pillars.

Digital Advertising

Designed one high-impact ad creative and managed a 90-day Facebook and Instagram campaign focused on driving qualified traffic directly to the book’s sales page.

Social Media Management

Established the author’s platform accounts, developed a full content calendar, and managed community- building content to grow an engaged audience from the ground up.

Virtual Event

Organized and hosted a virtual book reading and Q&A session, fostering a fan community with a clear path to purchase.

Public Relations

Wrote and distributed a targeted press release, securing guaranteed media placements and reaching specialized literary outlets to establish credibility and a strong backlink profile.

The Outcome

The same digital advertising, PR, and social strategy that delivered these results applies directly to health and wellness brands building awareness and converting new clients.
