Case Study: From Stuck to Scaling — How We Reforged the Cardio & Heart Wellness Brand

Overview

Cardio & Heart Wellness offers life-changing solutions for those dealing with cardiovascular disease and heart conditions. But when they came to us, they were facing a critical problem:

They were stuck.

Despite having the only all-natural solution that helps reverse heart disease and clean arteries, they lacked the branding, systems, and go-to-market strategy needed to scale.

As their Fractional CMO and COO, we stepped in to lead a full transformation—one that rebuilt the brand from the inside out, with new clarity, confidence, and conversion-ready systems.
