Case Study: Legacy Lens Media – Transforming Passion into a Profitable Business with Victor + Valor®


Nick Cotto

Nick Cotto’s Vision: Fusing Photography, Nonprofits, and Business

When Nick Cotto, an Army veteran spouse and true entrepreneur, first approached Victor + Valor®, she was at a crossroads in her career. Nick’s photography business had traditionally served non-profit audiences, but as her passion for entrepreneurship grew, she realized it was time for a shift. Nick’s vision was to expand her brand and focus more on for-profit businesses while still leveraging her deep knowledge and love for nonprofits.


Enter Victor + Valor®. Our team recognized the potential in Nick’s vision, and we were excited to help her shift into this new phase of her entrepreneurial journey. However, as we began working with Nick, it became clear that her passion went beyond photography and Legacy Lens Media,. As a resourceful entrepreneur with a wealth of knowledge about launching and growing nonprofits, she had an idea that would extend far beyond photography—an eBook that would help others launch nonprofits.



The Challenges: Finding Clarity in the Entrepreneurial Journey

While Nick is a natural entrepreneur, there were still several challenges standing in the way of her success:

  • Shifting the Business Focus: Nick had been accustomed to working with nonprofits, but now she wanted to target a different audience: for-profit businesses. This required a shift in brand messaging, marketing strategy, and overall business approach. Nick knew her nonprofit experience was valuable, but she needed help in reframing her business to appeal to a more commercial market.

  • Creating Digital Products: As Nick’s passion for nonprofits became even clearer, she realized that her expertise could be shared with a wider audience. But taking her knowledge and turning it into an eBook that was not only informative but also engaging was no small feat. She needed support in writing, designing, and launching the eBook in a way that would resonate with her target audience.

  • Branding and Social Media Strategy: Nick had a successful business, but her online presence needed a facelift. She needed a comprehensive social media strategy, website design, and branding that would accurately reflect her vision for Legacy Lens Media while supporting her transition into the for-profit market.


Nick had a clear vision, but what she needed was expert guidance and strategic support to turn that vision into a profitable reality.



Victor + Valor® Steps In: Shaping Legacy Lens Media into a Profitable Brand

At Victor + Valor®, we saw the incredible potential in Nick Cotto and Legacy Lens Media. We understood that Nick’s love for nonprofits and her deep entrepreneurial spirit could be the foundation for something much bigger. We were eager to help her clarify her mission, build her brand, and launch a new chapter in her entrepreneurial journey.


Here’s how Victor + Valor® helped Nick:

  1. Brand Strategy Development: We worked closely with Nick to redefine her brand and craft messaging that would resonate with both for-profit businesses and her nonprofit roots. Together, we created a brand strategy that highlighted Nick’s expertise in storytelling while showcasing her ability to serve for-profit businesses with the same passion and commitment. We helped develop packages and offers that for-profit growth-focused businesses desire and need. 

  2. Website Design and Development: As part of the rebranding process, we helped Nick redesign and develop the Legacy Lens Media website to better reflect her new business focus. The website now serves as a dynamic platform that showcases Nick’s photography services and her brand strategy packages. We ensured the design was both functional and appealing, with a strong visual identity that aligned with her mission.

  3. Ebook Development and Launch: Nick’s vision for an eBook that would help others navigate the world of nonprofit creation quickly turned into a reality. With our project management and content support, we assisted Nick in creating her eBook, ensuring it was well-written, visually appealing, and easy to follow. We helped with layout design, copywriting, and the overall publishing process—from launch to marketing, and now, her eBook is available on Amazon Kindle, reaching individuals who need guidance on launching their own nonprofit ventures.

  4. Social Media and Content Strategy: We worked with Nick to build out a social media strategy that not only aligned with her new brand direction but also helped her create engaging content that attracted her ideal clients. By focusing on consistent storytelling, visual content, and strategic posts, we helped Nick build a loyal following and establish herself as a thought leader in both the nonprofit and branding spaces.
