How we Helped myCare
Become a Local Care Leader

About myCare

myCare is a Scotland-based care company delivering a range of home-based care services for their local community. For over 25 years, they’ve been growing their team and list of care services, which includes supported living, respite care and end-of-life care. They also offer live-in care services through their live-in care arm of the business: Guardian Live-In Care.

myCare’s founder, Nick, first met Somer Design founder Caroline Somer around 2017. They met not long after Nick exited management from a care franchise at a networking event. At this time, myCare had a basic website but required support to bring the myCare branding in line with the quality of their care services.

We proposed a range of branding and marketing activities that could help elevate their brand while reaching new customers and prospective employees.

The brief

When MindAbility approached Somer Design, they had a website and social presence, but did not have a staircase of products to offer clients. Our work started with a digital roadmap and planning session to understand Sam’s goals and what she needed. This way, we had clear goals and expectations about what needed to be delivered.

As a business coach working with HR consultancy founders around the world, it’s a tough market; in order to grow, I needed to disrupt and what I had, simply wasn’t cutting it.

I had a lengthy conversation with Caroline, and she came up with a detailed plan 48 hours later, to completely transform the look and feel of my business, including all my materials which was overlaid by a strategic marketing plan to help scale my sales funnel.

Within three weeks of receiving that plan and signing it off, the sales funnel was in place and to top it all – I got the first sale of my e-book within the first 24 hours.

I now have a clear product staircase in place, with a set of deliverables and goals in place, thanks to the Gant chart she has produced for me – the sales plan!

The website has been completely revamped, republished, to take on any of my international competitors. I have the confidence that not only what we deliver is top class – so is the entire client experience from the first touch point with MindAbility.

I couldn’t recommend Caroline highly enough and I look forward to seeing how my business moves onto the next stage in 2023 and beyond.
