Worked examples of what the Workshop produces — end-to-end, no shortcuts. Real client work stays private, so I built fictional brands at full quality so you can see what the process actually delivers.
I can't post a real client's strategy, customer data, or full year of content publicly — that's their property and their privacy. So instead of redacted case studies, I build worked examples against fictional brands at full quality. Same depth as a real engagement, every decision visible, nothing hand-waved.
One side effect: these were built without an actual customer to draw from. No real customer interviews. No real photos. Just industry research and the process. That's the floor — with your real story, your real customers, and your real voice, we'd build something sharper.
Each demo below applies the same collaborative process to a different kind of business. Different brand, different audience, same way of working.
A small-batch surf wax brand built by a fictional garage operator named Kai Holokai (with quality control by Willie the chihuahua). Coastal California, 60s surf-shack aesthetic, four water-temperature wax types.
Built end-to-end: 52 weekly blog topics, 12 monthly newsletters, ~200 social posts a year, a sample website with 12 standalone blog post pages, audience strategy doc, working review workflow, full 12-tab workbook. Q1 fully written. The other three quarters are mapped at calendar level.
What you can do with it: read the strategy, skim the calendar, open the workbook and click through the tabs, visit the sample website. Then decide if you'd want this for your business.
A four-person finish-carpentry shop in fictional Hollowbrook, Connecticut, run by Tom Reeves out of a converted dairy barn since 1998. Built-ins, cabinetry, mantles, trim. Editorial-modern brand, frog-green and ink palette. Annie, Sam, Hannah, and Riggs the mutt round out the cast.
What's in it: a JCW-wrapped demo entry, full sample website with project gallery + journal + contact, 12-tab workbook with Strategy and Tom's intake answers fully written, a year-on-one-page calendar, the intake questionnaire, and 12 fully-written blog posts (Q1: April–June) plus three monthly newsletters in Tom's CT-Yankee voice.
