Interim Marketing Strategy & Brand Foundation for Poyant Signs

Poyant Signs partnered with The Franchise Group (TFG) to help strengthen and organize their marketing efforts during a critical period of growth and transition. Rather than simply delivering a single campaign or asset, our role spanned consulting, marketing strategy, creative development, and vendor management. We began by working closely with their leadership and sales teams to better understand their audience and how the company was currently reaching potential clients. Through interviews and internal conversations, we helped identify key target audiences and developed a strategic roadmap to reach them through a mix of paid and earned media.

From there, we developed a comprehensive marketing and positioning strategy that included:

  • Brand identity development, including brand guidelines, fonts, color palettes, ADA-compliant color considerations, photography direction, video treatments, icons, and design assets
  • Social media strategy and guidance on campaign direction
  • Website strategy and development planning, including support through a full site redesign
  • Lead generation and vendor management, coordinating outside sales teams, paid media vendors, and marketing partners
  • Interim marketing leadership, acting as an extension of the Poyant Signs team

Throughout the process, TFG effectively operated as their interim marketing department. We joined vendor calls, provided strategic recommendations, and guided decision-making to ensure every marketing effort aligned with the company’s goals.

One of the most valuable parts of the engagement was helping centralize their marketing efforts. We identified gaps in vendor management and existing programs, then created a system that brings key marketing initiatives into a single strategic lens. This streamlined approach ensured that every effort worked toward the same objectives.

1.0 Why It Matters

For many organizations, building an internal marketing structure from scratch can be time-consuming, expensive, and difficult to coordinate. In this case, Poyant Signs needed immediate strategic support but ultimately wanted the ability to manage their marketing internally. Our approach made that possible. By stepping in as a temporary extension of their team, TFG provided high-level strategic guidance without requiring the company to build a full in-house marketing department overnight. We helped remove the guesswork by presenting clear options, coordinating vendors, and aligning their marketing infrastructure around shared goals. This streamlined approach meant less work was required on their side while still giving them full ownership of the decision-making process. Our role was not to replace their team, but to support it, organize it, and set it up for long-term success. From brand identity to vendor coordination, the goal was always the same: create a foundation that Poyant Signs could confidently maintain and grow internally.

The partnership resulted in a fully structured marketing framework that the Poyant Signs team could continue to build on long after the engagement ended.

Key outcomes included:

  • An overarching marketing plan aligned to meet their business goals

  • Website and social media strategies that previously did not exist
  • Improved vendor oversight and coordination, ensuring the best services and pricing
  • A centralized process that streamlined marketing efforts through one strategic lens
  • Successful onboarding and collaboration with new internal team members

Most importantly, we provided the company with the infrastructure, strategy, and creative foundation needed to continue their marketing efforts internally.

This project is a strong example of how TFG operates as an extension of a client’s team. By stepping in where support is needed most, organizing complex efforts, and building sustainable systems, we help organizations move forward with clarity, confidence, and the tools to succeed long term.
