Digital Marketing
Digital marketing is marketing efforts that use online platforms. These efforts can include search engine optimization, paid advertising, content marketing, social media marketing, email marketing, video marketing and influencer marketing.
We do offer SEO services. SEO (search engine optimization) services can improve your website’s performance by using on-page, off-page and technical efforts to increase your potential of ranking with search engines. The higher you rank, the more traffic you will see coming into your website organically.
We can manage any and all of your social platforms! We have experience with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and more. It is up to the client to discuss their goals and then ultimately determine which platforms would best support the overall objective so that we are aligned on a solid strategy.
We measure the success of digital campaigns by setting goals and determining what key performance indicators (KPIs) will be relevant to the campaigns. For example, if we are trying to gain impressions, then the metric we would track would be the number of times that the content was displayed.
Tracking the right metrics and reviewing campaign performance allows us to identify successes and areas of improvement, and to make quick adjustments to the campaign If needed.
Advertising Services
Pay per click advertising is a digitial marketing strategy that involves paying for the ads each time a user clicks on them.
PPC is typically ideal if you need to drive immediate traffic to your website and generate leads. It is also good for increased brand awareness in competitive regions. If you have an optimized website and a set target audience, PPC marketing will allow you to maximize your conversions. However PPC requires that you consistently invest to generate leads and may not be suitable if you do not have the budget or if there is a low search for your products or services.

In order to ensure that the proposed content strategy aligns with your brand’s voice and audience, we start by conducting our research to understand the audience, their preferences, habits and communication.
Influencer Marketing
We do and we love influencer marketing! We have found huge success with this type of marketing as people today are more bought into their communities than ever and this type of marketing can really drive results. In order to select the right influencers, we look at our network and assess which influencers best fit your brand and audience. Based on that we then look at budget and compensation to determine if it is the right fit for all parties.
The ROI of influencer marketing campaigns can vary, however studies have shown that businesses can earn up to $5.78 for each dollar that they spend on influencer marketing. Almost 85% of all brands that use influencer marketing report that they find it successful. ROI is typically measured via the use of affiliate links or tracked URLs in order to measure the direct impact. Other metrics like engagement, reach and impressions can also help to look at if the campaign is performing well or needs adjustments. The metrics tracked depend on the overall objectives of the campaign.
