  • Branding Case Studies | Neon Lizard Creative Minneapolis, MN

    Explore these featured case studies spanning manufacturing, beauty, services, and more. Discover success stories in branding, marketing, and print designs! Case Studies See Our Work PORTFOLIO LIS'N NATURALLY HEALTHY HAIR & BODY Lis'n came to us in tears. The entire brand had been taken hostage and they were at wit's end. She had no rights to her previous art, so we had to start over from scratch. We were happy to do so, as the previous brand was technically "acceptable'" but lacked heart and was appealing to the entirely wrong audience. Not only did NLC help Lis'n define who they were and capture the heart of their natural product line, but we also helped them evolve and rename the company to Lis'n Naturally Healthy Hair & Body. We rebranded, repackaged, created an extensive social library, created 3-D imagery, videos, brand governance, architecture, updated infographics, and generated an entirely new way to market to the salon consumer. We collaborated with all the vendors, coordinated printing, etc. and Lis’n was able to rest easy knowing they own their art and production was being managed. The result? Growth of 27% in the first 9 months, growth which has continued and expanded even through the traumas of 2020. They are currently in the midst of a phenomenally successful pivot to a more direct-to-consumer model for their body line. Amazing. That is what a killer brand and partnership can do! FULL PORTFOLIO VIEW CASE QUALITRU SAMPLING SYSTEMS International aseptic liquid sampling tool provider, QualiTru Sampling Systems, came to NLC seeking small graphic illustrations. Over time, we have become their primary branding company, handling their social media, collateral, and trade show presentations. Not only have we provided literature, catalogs, and flyers in multiple languages, we've redefined the brand to appeal to their three major audiences through specific brand style modifications and brand architecture. We have dedicated a team to their happiness and to ensure that each product that leaves our office meets the criteria that they have dictated. Our extensive Q&A process has helped us perfect content release in a world driven by metrics and data. We are honored to serve them and are excited to see how much they expand in the coming years. FULL PORTFOLIO VIEW CASE MINNEAPOLIS SCHOOL OF BEAUTY On the verge of closure after 21 years, MNSB reached out to Neon Lizard for marketing help. With little money and a huge vision, they entrusted us with helping them become known in the state as the top beauty school. We jumped in with a full rebrand, website and assertive social media marketing campaigns. We encourgaged engagement by the students and used our proprietary organic marketing methods. Over the two years we have served them, they have grown 79%, attaining an ROI of $8 for every $1 spent, without a penny in paid ads. FULL PORTFOLIO VIEW CASE JOYFUL SPACES AZ The CEO behind the rapidly growing Joyful Spaces Arizona is a dear friend of our founder, Rebecca Rausch. She came to us knowing exactly the "feel" she wanted. She asked for a brand that was light, airy, colorful-but softer colors, an implied desert nod, modern, clean and welcoming. She felt that the service she provides brings peace and joy to her clients and she wanted that captured in how she presented her brand. Done. FULL PORTFOLIO VIEW CASE MOSQUITO MINNESOTA MosquitoMN is a start-up that provided service to a member of NLC. Afterward, during a short conversation, it was discussed that they have a fantastic offer, but the brand could use some work. They immediately took action and in a short amount of time had a definitive brand look and style that is by far superior to the competition. Their website both educates and sells to more than just homeowners; it shares how their formula has benefits beyond just mosquitoes and engages clients as a pest control resource for many venues. FULL PORTFOLIO VIEW CASE TOTAL PET WELLNESS The new owner of a respected local veterinary clinic came to us via referral needing a full rebrand, including a new name. Since that time, we have developed an inclusive moniker that will allow her to broaden her offer base, a defined and implemented solid brand style, signage, collateral, email signatures, and website. We even have had some input on the redesign of the building itself to make it more efficient and in brand with the rest of Total Pet Wellness. This is a fun, heart-centered brand that we hope to work with for many years to come! FULL PORTFOLIO VIEW CASE VILLAGE TILE RESOURCES Texas-based international tile distributor that caters to a very high-end clientele. His customers expect the best and he needed a website that represented luxury and taste. He also wanted to nod to his artisans. Our designers did the research and developed his iconic gem which represented the village and the cultural religion of his providers. The website that was developed was meant for conversion. With multiple feature pages, samples, and visual applications, he was able to show his product easily to his client base. This is the third business we have branded for this gentleman and each has grown exponentially and then successfully sold. He will attest that branding made the difference. He is always certain that his brands are ready before launch so that he pops into the market as if he has been around and established for years. Smart.

A Top Marketing Agency Near Edina That Doesn’t Take Itself Too Seriously. (But Takes Your Success Very Seriously.) CONTACT Learn More Big Agency Talent. Boutique Service. Zero Fluff.

We are here to help Edina businesses catch the eye, grab the heart, and build brands that smoke the competition. Let’s Be Honest: Branding & Marketing Can Suck. Does your current marketing feel overwhelming? Struggling with employee overhead or poor performance? Too many platforms, constantly changing technology, or vendors who "nickel and dime" you to death? And AI…. What to do with that?! The world is changing faster than most of us can keep up. However, the biggest stressor is that: You are simply tired of competitors swooping in and taking business you know you deserve. You don’t need another vendor. You need a dedicated partner to battle the marketing dragon. At NLC, we don’t do suits. We don’t do stiffness. And we definitely don’t do junior designers practicing on your dime. We are a team of senior-level experts with over 100 years of combined experience, ready to make your Edina business unforgettable. We have perfected how to use organic media to get the attention and respect you need. And… yes, we understand AI, but don’t depend on it like so many others nowadays.

What makes it more remarkable is that not a dime was spent on paid advertising. We Speak Your Language We aren’t a generalist advertising agency that guesses at your needs. We have deep roots in specific industries common to the Edina area: • Construction Marketing Companies: We know how to market to GCs, subcontractors, and trades.

  • Marketing Agency & Digital Marketing Services in Burnsville, MN

    Grow your business with Neon Lizard Creative in Burnsville, MN. Expert marketing strategies to engage clients, boost visibility, and increase conversions. Marketing Agency in Minnesota | Strategy, Engagement & Growth Ma r k et i ng tha t w o r k s mar·ket·ing /märkediNG/ noun: marketing The vehicle by which you promote your brand and sell products or services. It is the method to make prospects aware of your existence and engage them to learn more. Marketing is the strategic bread-crumb trail you use to lead your prospects to where you want them to go. Marketing is the brand at work. CONTACT US WHY IS HIRING A MARKETING AGENCY SO IMPORTANT? A "comprehensive" brand is vital to the prosperity of your business. A solid and definitive brand design will hold stable during the shifting sand that is marketing. At the very least, marketing is useful for customer education. You know the ins-and-outs of your product, but do your consumers? Marketing is meant to communicate and guide. Social media platforms and email campaigns have made reaching out to consumers much more affordable. A key mental shift is to see marketing more like food than a medicine. It sustains awareness rather than being a remedy for lack of engagement. Marketing keeps the conversation going once you and your customer have parted company. This is important because it helps you sell your products or services and secures important "mental real estate." In short, using a professional marketing agency benefits your business’s growth through a high-level acquisition, engagement, and awareness. You control the narrative and the process, so make it count. Marketing services offered: Marketing // Marketing in the New Reality Education // Positioning/Competitive Analysis // Marketing Plan/Objectives/Research // Campaign Coordination/Implementation // Campaign Analysis + Metrics // Maintenance Good marketing makes the company look smart. Great marketing makes the customer feel smart. — Joe Chernov MARKETING FOUNDATION KNOW YOUR HEART MESSAGE & POSITION HELP & EDUCATE BUILD BRAND EQUITY CONVERSION MARKETING STRATEGY IN THE NEW REALITY The sales funnel is no longer linear. Today, your prospect does not travel the linear funnel of “yore.” The customer can enter your sales funnel at any stage. Depending on how savvy and how much time they have to do their own research, many seek to become aware of, not only you but many others like you. On their own, your prospect has researched, asked opinions, and scoured the internet for who provides the best product and service. They have an idea of cost and they compare across platforms. By the time they reach out to a salesperson, they are 85% ready to buy. In some cases, they buy without ever connecting with a human. Marketing then becomes the key to growth. A marketing agency like NLC can build an engagement and response plan at every entry point. You need to infuse humanity and personality into every crevice to build brand loyalty and encourage deeper connection. CONTACT US MARKET POSITIONING + COMPETITION We analyze the competition early in the marketing strategy, and then again when we choose platforms. We listen to not only you, but also potential clients. We work closely with you to fine-tune every portion of where and what you represent in order to engage authentically and powerfully across channels. This is when the work begins to connect and strengthen weak target market connections. We expose underserved opportunities and reinforce those that have the most active competition. CONTACT US Marketing is a constant process of tuning in, connecting, reading cues, reconnecting, and digging to find a deeper connection. It is a dance of meeting and parting and finding each other again. Minute to minute and day to day. CONTACT US CAMPAIGN COORDINATION Coordination and implementation are key to a successful brand. Our process for QA, project management, and the vast experience of our team makes this an easy roll-out for our clients. We are adept at handling multiple vendors, managing social media, obtaining print, promotional products and more, by putting the best expert in place to take care of any particular need. CONTACT US Mass advertising can build a brand but authenticity is what makes a client stick around. It is a fact that if someone believes that they share the same values as the company they are engaging, they will stay loyal to that brand over a less expensive brand.

  • MosquitoMN Branding & Pest Control Marketing Case Study

    See how MosquitoMN’s pest control branding transformed their image, boosted recognition, and conquered local competition. Learn the strategy now! MosquitoMN Branding Case Study Client: MosquitoMN Industry: Pest Control Services provided: Logo, Branding, Strategy, Marketing, Graphic Design, Print, Signage, Social Media, Web Design Case MosquitoMN serves south of the river Minnesota suburban and farm homes, protecting them from mosquitos, ticks, and other pests. They needed a logo that said what they do, was recognizable from a distance and memorable. We needed to capture the distasteful mosquito and show that MosquitoMN would be the victor in this annual battle. NLC developed a brand that accomplished these goals with sniper accuracy and a hint of military style; culminating into a manly brand that instantly makes the homeowner feel safe from the blood suckers. Something a bout brand This brand is bold and agile. The slogan, "Stop the Invasion," captures the goal. We used a thick stock and spot gloss to intensify color and draw attention. Previously, their name was always lower case, written as MosquitoMn. As a result, it read as a competitor's name and caused confusion. Their previous logo was also linear and light and thus could not be seen well from a distance. Now, Minnesota is the mainstay of the brand, the solid black draws the eye and the contrast is easy to read. The nomenclature is no longer causing confusion. What about your brand? Are there design elements that need a fresh eye? So often, when we are close to something, we fail to see it as others may. GET A BRAND ANALYSIS Website that sells Your website and brand marketing should sell the benefits you offer, not just the product. It needs to paint a picture your client can understand about what life would look like if they purchased from you. That's what we strive to do. Define the benefits, activate that desire, nurture the interest, and share how we bring that desire to fruition. It sounds easy, but some benefits are easier to show than others. Knowing how to define and build the funnel is a skill in and of itself. Social media presence Social media is an excellent way to present a multi-pronged marketing approach. For MosquitoMN, the Minnesota summer months bring huge mosquitos and many biting pests. It is hard to be outside. Through social, we can educate about the threats of various pests and how MosquitoMN is the solution. We can paint a picture of how nice it is to be outside in the beautiful weather —without the threat of Minnesota’s state “bird.” We can also promote that not only is the service for single family homes, but also communities, playgrounds, and outdoor events. This multi-pronged method accelerates sales and allows the company to sell at each level faster and with clarity. We own the position that MosquitoMN is the authority. NEXT CASE Our proven process brings clarity and definition to who you are, what you do, and why your prospect should care. If your prospects are unaware of your particular benefits, they may be seduced by other marketing. You have to make sure they understand who you are with ultimate clarity and purpose.

  • Burnsville MN | Neon Lizard Creative

    Seeking a branding agency near Burnsville? NLC is a boutique, full-service digital marketing agency & advertising agency offering premium branding, logos, graphic design & marketing at exceptional value. Authentic, results-driven growth strategies. Reach out today! 25+ years experience. 5-Star. Your Burnsville, MN Marketing Agency Burnsville Burnsville Burnsville Burnsville Finally. A Top Marketing Agency in Burnsville That Doesn’t Take Itself Too Seriously. (But Takes Your Success Very Seriously.) CONTACT Learn More Big Agency Talent. Boutique Service. Zero Fluff. Stop searching for an "advertising agency near me" or “logo design in 55337” that treats you like a generic line item. We are Neon Lizard Creative (NLC), the agency that is focused solely on you. We are here to help Burnsville businesses catch the eye, grab the heart, and build brands that smoke the competition. Let’s Be Honest: Branding & Marketing Can Suck. Does your current marketing feel overwhelming? Struggling with employee overhead or poor performance? Too many platforms, constantly changing technology, or vendors who "nickel and dime" you to death? And AI…. What to do with that?! The world is changing faster than most of us can keep up. However, the biggest stressor is that: You are simply tired of competitors swooping in and taking business you know you deserve. You don’t need another vendor. You need a dedicated partner to battle the marketing dragon. At NLC, we don’t do suits. We don’t do stiffness. And we definitely don’t do junior designers practicing on your dime. We are a team of senior-level experts with over 100 years of combined experience, ready to make your Burnsville business unforgettable. We have perfected how to use organic media to get the attention and respect you need. And… yes, we understand AI, but don’t depend on it like so many others nowadays. The difference is that we know how important it is to share your authenticity. Humans want to work with other humans and read writing done by other humans. AI spits out the same result repeatedly. We’ll help you differentiate from the competition and let your audience get to know the real you. Efficiency and impact come from planning, not shortcuts with AI. Your One-Stop-Shop for Burnsville Dominance We are the full-service marketing agency near me—well, near you—that actually answers the phone. "One Vendor. One Voice. One Phone Call. Done." 1. Logo and Brand Identity Design (Done the Right Way) Here is the hard truth: Designing a logo before understanding your business goals is simply "ass backwards." We don’t just draw pretty shapes. We specialize in logo and brand identity design that is rooted in strategy. We dig deep into your "Why" (and research your competitors) to create a logo for digital marketing and corporate identity that acts as a flag for your tribe, not just a decoration. We also offer multiple options for the initial presentation so you have a real “choice.” Add our thorough style guide, color variations, and multiple file types in vertical, horizontal, and icon-only formats, and you have all the art you need for any application. Want to go further? We can also create brand style options for you to choose from, ensuring your brand is consistent across platforms. No one else does that! 2. Business Website Design Services (That You Can Actually Use) We provide business website design services that convert visitors into clients. Unlike agencies that hold your site's keys hostage, we specialize in Wix to ensure your site is secure, mobile-optimized, and—most importantly—easy for you to update later without a PhD in coding. We design with WordPress, too. We have teams for both. You choose. • SEO & Content: We build with top marketing agency standards, so Burnsville customers can find you organically. 3. "Hands-Free" Social Media & Growth Stop creating content that dies in 24 hours. We specialize in "hands-free" social media that works while you sleep. As your local social media agency, we maximize your budget with "Evergreen" libraries and social rotations that keep your brand top-of-mind without you ever having to post. Our process lets you see and edit content/visuals within a single document with just a few clicks.

  • Client Testimonials | Neon Lizard Creative Minneapolis, MN

    Experience Neon Lizard Creative, we aim to delight our clients, making them downright giddy. Discover what sets us apart and see what the fuss is all about! G i dd y c l i e nt s! Leave a Review! Neon Lizard is a one-stop, full-service graphic design and marketing agency. We had the pleasure of working with Rebecca and her team to develop a brand design for the Scott County FAST-TRACK Challenge. For 5 years, they have seamlessly coordinated the branding and marketing process for our entire event. From the development of a logo and website to the creation and implementation of our social media strategy. We are very pleased and impressed by the quick turnaround and consistent responsiveness. While the company serves many corporations, agencies, and individuals, they always treat us as though we are their only and most important client. If you are looking for a creative design and approach with excellent customer service, we would highly recommend Neon Lizard Creative! — Stacy Crakes and Jo Foust Scott County First Stop Shop & Scott County FAST-TRACK Challenge ON REVEAL OF WEBSITE "I'm so in love right now... OMG. My heart is full. Looks sooooooo perfect, everything I ever imagined and BEYOND, WOW. Great work!" AND FROM JSA's CLIENT "Hi Ingrid. This is Linda W, Don’s wife. He gave me the link to the website for your new business. Just wanted to tell you I love the site and the business model and I wish you boundless success. You have a brilliant thing going and Neon Lizard created a perfect, fresh look and feel! Bravo to all of you. — Ingrid Fencken Joyful Spaces AZ I have been working with Rebecca for a few years now. When I first met her, we were going through a website update with a new look and new colors and I needed help figuring out how to pull that look through to the rest of our marketing materials. I now have a Branding Board that hangs on the wall in my office with guidelines for anything I do visually in my marketing. It is the best tool I have to do my job. Beyond that, Rebecca has created for us business cards, postcards, posters, updated all of our products, logos, and much more. I recommend NLC because they are creative, thorough, fast, effective, responsive, and easy to work with. — Gail Becker, Owner Becker Arena Products FARM TO FASHION MAGAZINE REVEAL: “Oh my gosh! Oh. My. Gosh. This is beautiful! It looks like Allure! I just want to read it! It looks so interesting! I love everything about it. WOW. Oh my gosh. I just have to cry. I just can’t even believe it! Love it. Look at that. That is fantastic! I just love everything you have done. It looks like a real live magazine! Holy Smokes! P: Where is Nate? A: Nate? P: Yes! He’s the one that recommended NLC! Wow. I never dreamt for one minute that you’d have this ready already. It is… just... oh my gosh. I just can’t quit looking at it. I just can’t believe it. It is just amazing. Thank you! Hugs hugs hugs. — Paulette & Amy Legred Lis'n Naturally Healthy Hair & Body The team at Neon Lizard Creative has been instrumental in the immediate growth of our online presence. In rolling out multiple new niche products to a very specific industry, their creativity, in both writing and imagery creation, have ensured our print and online presence messaging is consistent and our branding is of superior quality. They are timely, efficient, very dependable and affordable! I highly recommend Neon Lizard Creative for all your marketing needs! — Debra Hilmerson , Hilmerson Safety ® Rebecca and her team at Neon Lizard are absolutely AWESOME! I was in need of a graphic designer for my new business and Neon Lizard stepped up and knocked it out of the park. I can't say enough about Neon Lizard Creative. They have been there every step of the way and the designs they create are perfect! They really take the time to learn who you are as an individual in order to create the company around your individuality and what you stand for! If I could give them a million-star rating, I would. I am excited to continue to work with Neon Lizard for future needs for my company! — Jake De St. Hubert Euroworx: European Automotive Specialist I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome of my brochure and collateral! Neon Lizard made the process so simple and painless. I love how they incorporated my style into the brochure and made sure that my branding was consistent with my website, business cards, etc. The 1st draft was almost perfect, which says a lot about their design abilities and technique going into a project (this also saved me a lot of money, so I am doubly appreciative!). When the design of the brochure was finalized, Rebecca lined up the printer (after shopping it with several outfits first) and monitored the project to make sure it turned out the way it should. I will definitely be using NLC for future projects. Thank you!!! — Allison Kraus, Owner Shoreline Insurance Group I met Rebecca when Laser 1 made a decision to re-brand and change its image from local to global. Rebecca’s challenge was to create the entire visual package from logo/brand, internet banners, all internal and external corporate graphics, including brand textures. Her intensity and enthusiasm were unprecedented. Rebecca’s biggest asset is her innate understanding of her client and objectives. We are very proud of the new brand and benefit from it almost every day. I am highly recommending Neon Lizard Creative to any business that is considering brand and image improvement. — Tad Kowalczyk, XIT Strategies Previous COO, Laser 1 Technologies Neon Lizard is a phenomenal talent and I would highly recommend them. We were looking to update our corporate image and needed a new logo and branding strategy. Instead of returning to the large, well-known agency we worked with in the past, we chose to use LinkedIn to see what talent was available. We reviewed many portfolios but felt Neon Lizard's body of work was impressive and most similar to the objectives we set. Rebecca exceeded our expectations! Next, we asked to design a new corporate website. We gave her total design freedom. Again, her work far exceeded our expectations and we plan to use her exclusively for all our design and branding initiatives going forward. NLC brings fresh ideas, works fast, and is cost-effective. NLC will not disappoint. NLC is the "Best of the Best." They can do it all! — Jackie Neva, CEO Neva Recruiting MORE TESTIMONIALS Our work SEE CASE STUDIES We don't take service lightly.
