Thoroughbred Breeding and Racing Facility

Brand Positioning and Competitive Research

Rachael conducted competitive research to help stakeholders scope and plan next-step investments for expanding a Thoroughbred racehorse breeding and training facility.

Project Summary

As an independent marketing consultant with Rachael Hall Creative, I was engaged by a Texas-based Thoroughbred breeding and racing facility to evaluate brand positioning and digital growth opportunities.

I led competitive research, facilitated a multi-part strategy series, and delivered a comprehensive SWOT and UX audit—scoping requirements for a new website, SEO, content strategy, and supporting technology stack. I also provided budget models, project roadmaps, and monetization recommendations, giving leadership a clear blueprint to move forward when expansion resumes.

    • Performed a competitive SWOT Analysis and a competitive UX audit to help determine the project’s success and establish brand position.

  • Budget Breakouts & Project Scope

    • Scoped requirements for brand development, SEO optimization, and tech stack.
    • Submitted budget breakout and project roadmap for branded assets, imagery, and optimized website.

  • The Brand Challenge

    As stakeholders considered expanding, not only their online brand, but also their physical facilities, they carefully considered developing a model for scale.  RHC demonstrated the branding options of selling single units verses selling a membership model.

  • The Results

    COVID-19 put a halt to expansion plans, but the team has the project requirements, budget, and roadmap for building a branded website and optimizing lead generation in the future.
