How We Got Started
I worked as a Creative Director with two agencies and decided that I could do more for the client on my own.
The products and services we offer

We help clients get to know their company by going through a separation exercise and finding how we can separate you from the competition.
We do on line research to find out more about the market that you are in and see what works and what falls short to have a base line when creating ...

The key is to have someone willing to take the time to understand your company from the inside. We would do a bit of research with your key employees and find out what they think of the company. We use a five question document that asks who the company is now and where they want to go. This gives you and us an idea of how you are viewed internally. Next we do the same with present and past clients to see what they feel about your company. This is how we can separate you from the marketplace and have you stand out from the competition. Once we have finished that we can then develop a marketing campaign that fits exactly who you are...internally and externally. The goal is to not just create cool visuals for your company but create something that is based on what the market wants and what you can deliver. So in a nutshell...understand you, then create based on that. Hope this helps.
Of course I would love to kelp. Please keep in mind that your return on this type of marketing is usually less than one percent. If you make the choice to move forward with this make sure that there is a strong offer or as we refer to as a Call To Action. You have to make it worth their while to...

Dennis is correct. The vehicles that are used will depend on budget and product. Some products work quite well with social media marketing and email marketing. Others may work better as a direct mail customer of a Television client.

The best way is to have a company like me (LOL), look at your company and find out what makes you special. We use a simple form get gather that information. 5 questions that key members of your organization can answer. Then do a simple grass roots research project to look at your competition.
It is best to know what the market is like and have an idea of a direction that fits you so we develop a campaign that hits the target market that you are chasing. Most agencies will come up with cool ideas without substance behind the concepts. It would be like shooting a arrow without a target in front of you. What we do is give you a target.
Hope this helps.

Hi Christina. I posted something a while ago that talks about knowing your market and your competition. Finding out what your past clients liked about your service and what the market wants is key. You would be surprise at how many of my clients have thought that their company was viewed one way and actually was viewed in a completely light. plus creating a marketing strategy that fits your needs is important to getting quality leads. Too many agencies come up with creative based on nothing but a clever thought. You need to have a plan that makes sense to what you do.
As far as doing marketing yourself...I would advise against it. Most people just do not have the band width to stay on top of the marketing. Find someone who is willing to understand your business and partner with them.
Word of mouth is key in your industry. I did some work for a wedding florist and they get most of their work that way and bridal conventions. Think about offering a lead fee from happy clients. Do a simple email campaign to past clients that gives them $50 for every successful lead they send. Then just add the $50 on top of your final bill. Start simple.
Let me know if I can help in any way!
The last time I checked the numbers showed that you have a 60% chance of having a email viewed or a post reviewed if video is attached. But make sure that the video looks good. As a marketing guy and film maker I see too often people trying to do video themselves without the proper lighting...

The last time I checked the numbers showed that you have a 60% chance of having a email viewed or a post reviewed if video is attached. But make sure that the video looks good. As a marketing guy and film maker I see too often people trying to do video themselves without the proper lighting and/or sound. Nothing will stop a view quicker than a video that is unwatchable.

First...know your market. Talk to your present clients and find out what they llike and even dislike about your company.
Next...find out what the competition is doing and what you can take from them and make work for you. A little up front work will give a great return in the long run.

Experience, Body of Work, and Starting a Conversation. The biggest part of all of this would be visibility, Having your name out there in as many relevant mediums as possible is key to recognition and referrals. Once you are out there...stay on top of it. Keep posting and changing information to always spark a dialogue. Most people get there social media, websites, and email campaigns, etc going and do not continue posting new ideas. Fresh information always brings new visitors.

there are a couple of things that we do that solve that issue. First is to know the competition. You need to know what you are up against. Once you have that you can do simple research with currents and past clients to find out why clients work with you or why they left. This can be done with an on line cheap research tool or just a phone call. The last thing is what we call a separation document. This is filled out by key employees. Usually it contains five questions to see how you and your employees currently view your company and see where they think your company is heading.
All that information is then used to build your marketing program. Remember to use all of this information as your bible for all materials moving forward.
drop us a line and we can guide you through the process.
