How Social Canvas Increased Revenue by 212% & Achieved a 2,294% ROI for a Psychotherapy Practice
Kennedy Counseling Collective
PROBLEM
When Kennedy Counseling Collective came to Social Canvas, they were interested in growth opportunities. They wanted to scale their psychotherapy practice, but had little success with previous marketing efforts.
They had spent the year prior working with an SEO agency, which was not delivering the results they expected.
SOLUTION
Social Canvas developed a marketing strategy and elevated their branding with cohesive, educational and thoughtful content delivered on social media platforms and email campaigns.
We crafted a valuable assessment to capture leads and bring them into the funnel.
We began posting SEO-optimized blogs, edited their back end for SEO search terms, and optimized their Google Business listing.
We developed and implemented paid media campaigns, running geo-targeted Google Ads.
RESULTS
Within the first six months of working together, the client had to start a waitlist for new patients and hire additional staff to manage the growing demand. They eventually doubled the size of their office to accommodate 13 new clinicians.
Over the course of two years, their average monthly patient sessions increased by 94%, leading to an 85% increase in monthly revenue. This growth translated to a 1,156% return on investment.
Our partnership continued to deliver strong results. After five years of collaboration, their average monthly revenue had grown by 212%, resulting in an impressive 2,294% ROI.
“We credit much of our growth to Social Canvas. For a small business, it was a stretch to invest in an integrated marketing approach and trust that we would see a return on our investment. However, the simplicity of having one company to handle our marketing has been invaluable as business owners in a time crunch.
Since beginning with Social Canvas, we have tripled in team size and clients served! They have worked closely with us to learn our voice and audience. Social Canvas brings forward new approaches to drive business to our website and clients to our schedules.”

Ranjay Gulati
PROBLEM
Ranjay Gulati, Harvard Business School professor and Best selling author needed a clearer and more consistent digital presence to support his thought-leadership work and the momentum leading up to his upcoming book. Although his content carried strong ideas, the platforms lacked a structured strategy capable of scaling visibility, reaching younger audiences, and maintaining consistent engagement.
RESULTS
Over three months, Ranjay’s LinkedIn performance expanded significantly. Impressions grew 130% in three months (and over 500% in six), while content interactions increased 100%, reflecting stronger resonance and higher engagement across posts. His audience grew from 22k to 63k+, contributing to 130k+ total reach and 15k engagements over six months. Link clicks also rose, showing clearer interest in his thought-leadership content and CTAs. His LinkedIn Newsletter followed the same upward trend, with subscriber growth of 30% in three months and impressions/views nearly doubling, confirming long-form insights continued attracting recurring reader attention.
YouTube also improved substantially. Views nearly doubled, while retention rose from 34% to 55.5%, signaling viewers stayed engaged longer. The channel generated 8x more new subscribers than August, and the monthly audience more than doubled.
Together, these metrics highlight clearer message positioning, stronger audience retention across platforms, and more strategic content distribution powered by our structure.
SOLUTION
We developed a focused three-month strategy centered on strengthening his leadership message, building predictable posting systems for Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. To enhance performance through post formats including short videos, improved hooks, and retention optimization. Monthly analytics reviews were conducted to refine topics, formats, and storytelling angles, creating a unified content ecosystem aligned with his professional voice.

Their main goal was to effectively convey their brand's message of purpose, while attracting new leads through an effective sales funnel.

How Social Canvas Grew an Author’s Instagram by 119%
and Expanded Her Thought-Leadership to Reach 61,000 on LinkedIn
Elizabeth Husserl
SOLUTION
We developed an integrated content strategy, connecting her personal life, storytelling, and educational themes from the book. By blending educational insights with relatable personal experiences, we created a content style that felt human, authentic, and aligned with her mission.
We incorporated every event participation, interview, conference, and speaking moment into the content plan to reinforce her leadership voice.
Across the year, we monitored analytics from Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google Analytics to adjust content structure, posting frequency, and narrative angles. This allowed us to grow each platform consistently while keeping her message clear and recognizable.
PROBLEM
Elizabeth wanted to elevate her voice, strengthen her authority as a thought leader, and build a consistent message aligned with the launch of her book. Before this year, her platforms had irregular posting, low visibility, and limited understanding of which content truly connected with her audience.
Additionally, she needed to expand her reach across Instagram, LinkedIn, and her website, three channels that were not previously working together. The challenge was to increase engagement, grow followers steadily, and create a stronger digital presence that reflected her message and personality.
RESULTS
In just 3 months, Elizabeth’s Instagram reach grew to 10.5k, her content interactions increased by 100%, and she generated over 2,000 profile visits, more than doubling her overall visibility. Over the full 12 months, her Instagram follower growth outperformed the industry standard of 20%, reaching an impressive +119% year-over-year increase.
LinkedIn showed similar momentum, with her content earning 61,000 impressions in one year and steady engagement around her book-related posts — reinforcing her positioning as a thought leader.
Meanwhile, her website experienced stronger year-over-year performance, with higher sessions and repeat visits to key pages like “Connect.” Overall, her multi-channel presence grew in both reach and authority, fueled by clearer storytelling, alignment with her book’s themes, and consistent participation in external events.
The Curatorial Method
Elevating Social Media and Website Design for an Art Curator
PROBLEM
Lily Pearsall is an art curator with an impressive background in the museum and gallery world. She understood that many people feel intimidated by the art world, and wanted to break down those walls so that people can be involved in the conversation with confidence when it comes to art history and taste.
Lily developed a high-ticket course offering, and needed a roadmap on how to launch and market this course. Moreover, she wanted to do this in a way that she could continue to manage on her own, once a foundation was established.
SOLUTION
Social Canvas began by creating a high-end brand identity that would speak to her target audience, and then creating a website where she can showcase the course.
Meanwhile, we developed a cross-platform course-launch strategy, leveraging email marketing and social media.
Lastly, we worked with Lily over the course of five months to help her get confident creating engaging social media content, and monitoring the analytics, so that she could continue to market her course on social media independently.
RESULTS
Using the templates and process that we crafted, Lily was able to take over her social media content creation process. She has continued to follow the strategy, driving traffic to her landing page where she can then make the sales happen!

How Social Canvas Generated Leads for a Hybrid Publishing Firm
Indigo River Publishing
PROBLEM
Indigo River Publishing came to Social Canvas with a relatable situation: they were tired of relying on word-of-mouth referrals to get new clients!
They were putting effort into their social media presence, but not getting much out of it, and weren’t capitalizing on the email list they had worked to grow.
They needed a marketing partner who could develop and implement an effective strategy to get their needs met.
SOLUTION
We started with a comprehensive, cross-channel content audit, and came up with an informed strategy.
First, we set up a nurture sequence and retargeting sequence in their email automations, so they can work on optimizing their conversions.
Next, we changed their social media approach, focusing content on micro-learning about the benefits of hybrid publishing.
Finally, we began running Google Ads to generate new leads.
RESULTS
In just three months of running Google Ads, we were able to increase Indigo River’s non-referral leads by 57%.
Beyond that, we were able to help them optimize their website for conversions, and refine their sales process so as not to let valuable leads fall through the cracks.
And, their lost deals and past clients are now being retargeted automatically on an ongoing basis, so they can truly get the most out of the leads in their pipeline.
“I couldn't be happier with the exceptional service provided by Social Canvas. Working with Brooke has been a pleasure.
Their team's approach has generated multiple streams of leads for us, with notable success in SEO and effective communication. The overall experience has been fantastic and Social Canvas has exceeded our expectations.”
