Social Media
Social media has become a cornerstone in todays marketing. Traditional paid print advertising is no longer enough. People today gather their information online (mostly from their phone). Therefore, it is vital to have a strong presence online. According to Statista, 80% of Americans today are on social media. Worldwide it is projected that nearly three billion people in the world will be using social media by 2020. The influence of social media in the 2016 US Presidential Election was so impactful that many outlets created regulations to ensure that accurate news was being shared. Whether or not that was a positive step is another story. The point is that our lives have become intertwined with social media and if any business or brand wants to reach potential customers, social media must be a part of their strategy.
The problem most brands have is they don't know how to use social media effectively. You may have tried doing Facebook posts or hired an intern to do them for you, but you don't really see any solid results. This is a common complaint, and it's a problem my company has solved for many businesses and artists. You've heard of other businesses and individuals utilizing social media to grow their brand. That's because it works when you have the right strategy. We are experts in social media marketing and will help you develop the right strategy to grow your brand, increase followers, get new leads, and get more paying clients.
Online Marketing
Social media and online marketing go hand in hand. A minimum level of online marketing is included in all of our social media campaigns as it is vital to success. Online marketing includes: driving traffic to a website or product, paid advertising on social media platforms, website optimization and management, newsletter creation and distribution, search engine optimization (SEO), blog writing, Google Adwords and Adsense management, and more.
