WHEN A PRODUCT IS PROPERLY BRANDED, BUDGETS GO MUCH FURTHER
Today’s media is all about perception. And if your company is not well branded, or if that brand perception is unfocused, getting higher click throughs and conversion is much tougher.
Marketers always have a wide variety of marketing strategies to work on: social media, SEO and PPC, content marketing and local and email marketing. And in every case, getting more bang for the buck is a constant demand. However, an incredibly vital magnifier of marketing is branding.
Often, the current brand used for a business may not work effectively on social media and could an adverse effect on sales.
We research to show how the business is actually perceived in the market, not how you think it is perceived.
Then we weaponize your brand message to make hitting your goals a near certainty.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
In our 35 years of experience, we've created a methodology that permits us to define and focus on core issues. Goals, history, reputation, competitors, industry specialties and changing trends are all part of that interview.
We call it the InteloGenesis, or, the beginning of the big idea.
The InteloGenesis is designed to give Appture the background information needed to assess your current marketing programs. It should take just a few minutes of your time to complete and will enable us to provide you detailed feedback regarding the suitability of your marketing programs to your prospective market, as well as how your efforts compare to that of similarly situated companies.
Any information you provide will be held in the strictest of confidence.
Describe your creative process.
DIGITAL CREATIVE
Bringing our client’s stories to life is the passion of our creative team. We make beautiful ads, eBooks, videos, and infographics that sell.
Simply knowing digital inside and out doesn’t cut it. We invest time and energy into understanding our clients, their industries, their unique challenges and their audiences. We work across categories, channels and mediums so that wherever the brand lives, it’s brought to life as a unified, inspiring and connected experience.
Deliverables
We provide monthly PPC reports that includes ad performances, click-through-rates (CTR), engagements, follows, likes, plus more. Furthermore, after you review your report, if you have any questions or concerns, we’ll book a call with you so we can answer your questions, address your concerns and explain the report to you.
