Experience.

Strategic Planning

Strategic planning provides guidance in fulfilling your company's mission with maximum efficiency and impact. In creating effective and useful strategic plans for clients, it is important to consider each organization's capabilities and strengths, weaknesses and limitations, both objective and subjective from a wide array of sources. With this information specific goals can be articulated, action steps can be defined, and necessary resources can be identified and put into place.

Web Development

A functional and engaging website is a key component of every marketing plan. For 15 years I have lead project teams in the planning, development, production and ongoing management of client websites. I believe that there are four key attributes that must be considered in the development of every website — usability, design, visibility and flexibility. Focusing on these attributes, enables the development of websites that resonate with visitors, encourage ongoing engagement, and provide client companies with the ability to increase trust and authority among their targeted audiences.

SEO Strategies

Proper search engine optimization (SEO) begins with understanding your business, marketing and website goals. Your goals will define the audience and personas to be targeted, the information that they will find helpful, and the tactics to be employ to move them into and through your sales/conversion funnel. Defining and understanding these goals will help drive decisions for preparing your website content and SEO campaign in attracting visitor traffic.

Branding & Design

Your brand is the foundation upon which your entire organization and marketing campaigns are built. It is defined by the experiences and perceptions of customers, prospects and employees, and should clearly identify what makes your organization and products different. With over 20-years of branding experience, I can help your company connect with your targeted audiences through the development and implementation of:

  • Brand messaging
  • Brand names, taglines, strategy and rollout
  • Brand monitoring and response strategy
  • Collateral and Content
  • Websites

Public Relations

Public Relations (PR) is an essential component to a comprehensive marketing strategy. PR is not about making your organization appear more remarkable than it truly is, counting press clippings and generating impressions; rather it’s about listening to your audiences, sharing your unique story, creating connections, gaining influence, and building loyalty in a measurable and meaningful way. It is my belief that PR reaches and influences every audience that is relevant to your organization, and goes far beyond traditional media relations and publicity to include such activities as:

  • Analyst relations
  • Blogger relations
  • Community relations
  • Crisis communications
  • Customer relations
  • Employee relations
  • Mainstream media relations (TV, radio, print)
  • Media rooms
  • Optimized press releases
  • Publicity
  • Social media relations (bloggers, forum moderators, influentials)
  • Speaking campaigns

Internet Marketing

A crucial element of every Internet Marketing plan includes identifying the different buyer persona profiles that should be to targeted. These personas include both demograhic and behavioral traits. Once customer personas are established, campaign goals, supporting relevant content/tools, and marketing channels can be identified to support each stage in the lead nurturing and sales conversion process. Stages in the conversion process to be considered in designing your internet marketing include: Engagement Nurturing, Outreach Nurturing, Ongoing Nurturing, Conversion Nurturing and New Customer Nurturing.

Once the lead nurturing process and timing of content distribution is established, it is imperative to continuously look for ways to improve results through testing and optimization based on customer group segmentation, content, distribution channels and timing.
