🚀 CLIENT SUCCESS STORY: The Power of Consistent Radio Branding

When law firm Bradshaw & Bryant partnered with us in 2005, they were struggling to stand out in St. Cloud's crowded legal market. Fast forward 20 years, and they now own 28% of unaided brand awareness — more than double that of their closest competitor.

Their winning formula using the BrandsFormation system:
📻 Invested 70% of media budget in AM/FM radio
🎵 Created that memorable "Justice for the injured" jingle
📈 Focused on building trust over time, not quick sales
⚖️ Let Managing Partner Michael Bryant's authentic voice be front and center

The results are incredible:
40% ad recall (1.5x higher than competition)
19% higher awareness among radio listeners vs. the overall market

"Making my business 'top of mind' has made a big, big difference. It's not something that happens right away, but when people trust you, they do business with you." — Michael Bryant

This is what "being known before you're needed" looks like in action. 💪
