MARKETING STRATEGY

Driving a brand is like driving a car. It helps to know where you’ve been, where you are and of course, where you are going. At StartStrong Marketing, we spend time with each client to help them better understand these milestones and partner with them to create a custom roadmap map for their brand’s destination. The partnership between us is unique; we truly become part of our client’s companies, making every decision and recommendation as if our own brand and reputation were on the line. We evaluate each risk and reward, the opportunities and threats, and all strengths and weaknesses of the organization, to curate a comprehensive marketing strategy that delivers on sales goals, company growth and brand reputation.

BRANDING

Once we have determined our dream destination, our team of designers work to create or reform the brand into one that will better position them for industry excellence. Branding is the cornerstone of all we do and establishing, protecting and positioning the brand in our clients’ fields of expertise is our strength.

CONTENT DEVELOPMENT

Describing our clients’ services is fundamental to any marketing initiative or campaign. Our clients are often interested in one thing – growing their business. Messaging, product descriptions, service values and exposing fundamental operations to your business model should be thoughtfully crafted and expertly communicated. Content development is the key to reaching your new or existing customers and instilling confidence they need to invest in your services.

WEBSITE DESIGN / EXECUTION

Websites are table stakes. This is your storefront. Customers will either be interested and engaged or not – and this all happens very quickly. It’s been proven that you only have about 30 seconds to entice customers on your home page with content, visuals and reasons to buy. If they are turned off or confused, on to other competitors they go. Our clients not only receive more traffic to their site through strategic SEO and optimization, but their potential customers stay longer and return to the site.

VIDEO

Long attention spans are in short supply. Leveraging video on your site, on your social pages and in advertising can help get the key messages and branding across quickly and with measured success. Videos can tell a brand story, help sell a product or service, or motivate a customer to follow your brand and stay connected with your company.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Who said it first or loudest is no longer the rule of thumb. Being thoughtful about your content, relevant to your audience and cognizant of cultural topics takes some expertise. Too many companies have failed and abandoned their customers due to poor social media messaging and ‘box checking’ approaches. We will help advise, create and monitor social media content and performance to not only help grow your audience, but protect your brand from unforeseen landmines that could undermine your company’s success.

ADVERTISING

Advertising should not be left to Google alone. There are many options to spread the word about your brand and your services. We help make sure that you are aware of the best places for exposure and help secure the best rates and placements for your brand’s exposure.
