The Challenge

Real business. No brand.

Georgina and Sherlyn Mendoza had been running their cleaning business in Myrtle Beach through word of mouth and hustle. They had clients. They had a reputation. What they didn't have was anything that made them look like the professional operation they actually were.

Their only marketing material was a worn business card — a generic clip art design with no logo, no consistent colors, and copy that read like a text message. It wasn't representing them. It was holding them back.

They needed a brand. Not just a logo — a complete visual identity that could live on a business card, a t-shirt, a car magnet, and a phone screen and still feel cohesive and professional.

What We Built

An identity built to grow with them.

We started with the logo — the anchor of everything else. The custom "M" logomark was built to be versatile: clean enough to emboss on a business card, bold enough to read on a t-shirt from across the room, and distinct enough to be unmistakably theirs.

We created two logo variations — a clean wordmark version and a character lockup featuring the illustrated Mendoza cleaning professional. The character gives them a mascot that adds warmth and personality to the brand while still feeling polished and intentional.

Mendoza Linktree Setup

From there, the brand rolled out across every touchpoint: dual-sided business cards with a QR code linking to their Linktree, car magnets for job-site visibility, and two t-shirt designs so the team looks the part from day one. The Linktree profile unified their Facebook, Instagram, and contact info under a single scannable link.

Every piece carries the same cobalt blue, the same logo, the same professional tone. For the first time, Mendoza Cleaning looks like the business they've always been.

Where it started

This was the only marketing material they had.

A worn, generic business card with no logo, no brand colors, and no digital presence. The copy read "If you need or like cleaning your house please contact me at any time" — a real business being undersold at every handoff.

This is what Nix Creative changed.

Client Feedback

“I always wanted to be more professional, but without having a logo or anything, I couldn't really get the respect that I deserved. But after getting the shirts and the setup, I have been able to secure more jobs and better relationships with clients. Amazing work!”
