Sync Worldwide
A premium rebrand and three-platform brand architecture — parent firm, event, and personal brand — each with its own identity and Webflow site.
Context
SYNC — Seek Your Natural Calling — is the executive-coaching and leadership-development firm founded in 2012 by Dr. Lisa Brooks Greaux, built on 20+ years of Fortune 500 leadership experience and doctoral research. Its clients are senior leaders and organizations; its sharpest audience, executive women — many of them women of colour — stepping into rooms that weren't built for them.
The work was Fortune-500-grade. The brand wasn't. And three overlapping offers — the consulting firm, an annual leadership event, and Dr. Brooks Greaux's own thought-leadership profile — were competing for attention instead of compounding it. The rebrand had to do two things at once: look as premium as the rooms SYNC works in, and make three platforms read as one authority.
Approach
I led the rebrand as Creative Director, starting with architecture, not aesthetics.
- One parent, two reinforcing platforms. SYNC Worldwide anchors the system as the strategic-consulting brand. Mastery Summit (the event) and Dr. Lisa Brooks Greaux (the personal brand) sit beneath it — each distinct, each feeding the others. Summit attendees become coaching prospects; corporate clients send teams to the Summit; her thought leadership elevates all three.
- A positioning that reframes the work. "Seek Your Natural Calling" turns the premise around: your natural strengths aren't something to fix — they're the advantage, when properly developed. The campaign line made it unmissable — "Leadership That Deserves an Asterisk."
- A visual language of warm authority. Deep navy and gold — Fortune 500 credibility without the cold corporate chill — built around an asterisk mark: the second look, the qualifier, the spark of natural calling. Editorial photography centres the executive women SYNC exists to elevate.
Solution
The system
A full identity and a brand book to govern it — logo composition and clear-space, the navy-and-gold palette, the Aileron type system, and a documented voice (Confident Expert · Strategic Advisor · Authentic Partner) so three platforms could speak as one.
The asterisk became a system, not just a mark — extending into a gold-foil emblem and a navy-and-gold presentation kit, so the first handshake already feels like the rooms SYNC works in.
The campaign
A premium campaign system carried the positioning across formats — confident lines, generous navy, the asterisk doing the talking. Two Decades of Proven Excellence. Success is Systematic. SYNC Worldwide.
Stationery & the founder's brand
Premium stationery for the consulting work, and a refreshed presence for Dr. Brooks Greaux's personal platform — the human authority the whole architecture rests on.
Three platforms, three sites
The architecture went live as three Webflow sites — SYNC Worldwide, Mastery Summit, and the Dr. Lisa Brooks Greaux personal brand — sharing one design language so each reinforces the others instead of fragmenting the firm's authority.
Outcome
SYNC left with a unified, premium brand architecture: three sub-brands, three Webflow sites, a complete identity system, and brand guidelines — repositioned to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Fortune 500 organizations it advises.
