01 — The client

Redwood Services is a private equity firm that partners with leading essential home services companies across the U.S.

Through their strategic integration and tuck-in acuisition model, Redwood helps businesses grow by expanding service offerings, strengthening operations, and investing in people while protecting the legacy owners have built.

02 — Project details

Redwood wanted a piece that went beyond traditional acquisition marketing.

Rather than a pitch deck or brochure, the goal was to create a premium, storytelling-driven leave-behind specifically for potential tuck-in sellers.

The audience is experienced business owners who are beginning to think about what comes next, whether that means stepping back, staying involved, or planning for an eventual exit. The piece needed to build trust, reflect Redwood’s values, and speak honestly to the emotional and practical realities of selling a business.

03 — Creative process

Team collaboration

The project began with close collaboration between content and design teams to determine structure, pacing, and content length.

Interactive add-on

To increase utility and shelf life, we developed an interactive planner add-on that transforms the book into a working tool that helps owners think through their goals, timelines, and readiness to sell in a tangible, non-intimidating way.

Interviews

I conducted in-depth interviews with tuck-in sellers, partner leaders, and owners who chose to sell outright. These conversations informed every story so that content reflects real experiences rather than abstract promises.

Writing content

Each story was carefully shaped to highlight different paths forward while reinforcing the underlying message that Redwood’s model is built around people, continuity, and long-term success.

04 — Results

The Redwood Legacy Playbook is a premium, emotionally resonant piece that balances storytelling with practical guidance.

It functions as:

  • A narrative proof point of Redwood’s values and model

  • A decision-making tool owners can return to over time

  • A trust-building asset that opens thoughtful, informed conversations

More than a marketing piece, the book serves as a reflection of how Redwood shows up—listening first, respecting what’s been built, and helping owners move forward with confidence.
