They flood every channel with cloned campaigns. They poach your best techs. They buy search rankings like billboards. Every week, another local name fades into a national rollup. And here’s the real problem: it all looks the same. The same colors. The same stock slogans. The same smiling techs in polos. It’s branding built by spreadsheet, not story.
When everyone starts blending in, nobody stands out. And that’s where the independents lose ground, not because they’re worse at what they do, but because their brand disappears in the noise.
You Don’t Need More Ads. You Need a Stand-Out Brand.
Most companies think growth comes from more ads and louder noise. It doesn’t. The real advantage isn’t your budget, it’s your brand. Private Equity can buy airtime, but not connection or loyalty. A strong brand earns attention instead of chasing it. It makes people feel something before you ever sell them anything, turning your name into the one customers remember first. Branding isn’t fluff; it’s the engine that makes every part of your business work harder.
WHEN YOUR BRAND IS STRONG:
You’re growing, expanding into new markets, and need a brand built to scale. Or you’re holding your ground against PE-backed rollups with bottomless budgets. Maybe you’re just tired of wasting money on short-term tactics that never build anything lasting.
If that sounds like you, it’s time to make your next move.
FLYING HIPPO
HOME SERVICES
We specialize in helping independent home service companies stand taller. While others copy each other’s look, we create brands people remember, trust, and ask for by name. We don’t chase growth, we build it, helping independents outsmart, not outspend, Private Equity. Because while they’re renting attention, you’ll own loyalty.
This isn’t portfolio fluff. These are proof points.

The Foundation of Every Brand That Wins
Great brands don’t happen by accident. They start with clarity, conviction, and a plan that cuts through the noise.
That’s what the Spotted Zebra Branding Workshop delivers: a comprehensive, collaborative, all-day session designed to uncover what makes your business unforgettable and turn it into a brand your market can’t ignore.
This isn’t a discovery meeting. It’s a creative revolt where we sharpen your story, define your edge, and build the foundation for a brand that truly earns its stripes.
YOU’LL LEAVE WITH:
Curious how it works? See what happens when your brand grows some spots.
Find the Gaps Before You Grow.
Before we start building, we can map where your brand stands and where it needs to go. The Brand Gap Analysis overlays your first-party customer data with market demographics to uncover growth blind spots and opportunities.
YOU’LL LEARN:
WHY IT MATTERS:
If your customers are aging but your market’s getting younger, that’s a gap. If you’re HVAC-first but plumbing’s the growth engine, that’s a gap. This analysis gives you a map, so your workshop starts with focus, not guesswork.
Your Move.
