Introduction

Brasco Safety is a family-run business rooted in purpose, protection, and innovation. Founded in 2012 by Rick Guenette and named after his grandchildren’s initials, the company was born from a desire to bring advanced safety eyewear—the XPs—to Canada. With a mission to ensure every worker returns home safely, Rick built Brasco Safety on the pillars of education, innovation, and unwavering commitment to safety.

Today, under the leadership of his daughter, Desire, Brasco Safety continues to grow while staying true to its founding values.

As the company prepared to expand its offerings and embrace eCommerce, Desire recognized the need for a stronger digital strategy—and that’s when Flight Plan Marketing came aboard.

“Our website looked fine on the surface, but behind the scenes, it was a nightmare to manage. We knew it wouldn’t support our next stage of growth.”

The Challenge

As a small, family-led operation, Brasco Safety faced the typical challenges of managing marketing in-house:

  • Limited budget for high-cost campaigns or specialized services
  • Lack of internal marketing expertise and dedicated resources
  • Time constraints, with team members wearing multiple hats
  • Low online visibility in a competitive industry
  • Difficulty creating consistent content and leveraging digital analytics
  • An outdated website that couldn’t support eCommerce or future growth

The Turning Point

Brasco reached out to Flight Plan Marketing with one clear goal: to build a new website with eCommerce functionality.

However, once work began, it quickly became apparent that the Flight Plan team could support more than just development—they could become a strategic partner in Brasco’s broader marketing efforts.

The Solution

Flight Plan Marketing began with a complete website rebuild, migrating Brasco to a WooCommerce platform that could scale with its product line. From there, the partnership expanded to include SEO improvements, strategic planning, and ongoing marketing support.

By understanding Brasco’s unique voice and values, Flight Plan created a site and digital presence that reflect both the company’s heritage and its forward-looking vision.

“They didn’t just build us a site—they helped us rethink how we show up online. The team is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly feels like an extension of our business.”
