Our Philosophy
When it comes to digital marketing, trusting your gut or your own sense of aesthetics is rarely the right choice. A surprising majority of marketing decisions are made without taking into account customer/donor needs, preferences, and feedback. We’re passionate about using data to help our clients get to know their audiences, and move confidently in a crowded space while mitigating cost and risk. The only way to succeed is to let the numbers guide us. Users are eager to give opinions, but brands and their agencies all too rarely listen.
The Pillars & Burdens of Successful Digital Marketing
Our most successful clients are doing two things extraordinarily well: inspiring a keen sense of curiosity with the right target market, and offering a clear Call-to-Action by leading their audiences forward with clarity and authority. These are the twin pillars of any digital initiative. If you feel that your marketing isn’t profitable, look for the disconnects between your brand and your customers/donors. If engagement is high but revenue is low, then ask if your message is clear. What is it that you want users to do? What are you trying to change? What action must the customer take?
Attention
Within seconds of encountering your brand for the first time, the audience must fully understand your offer and the action you want them to take.
Relevance
Of all the available options, your customer must believe that spending time getting to know you is their best possible choice. Social proof is everything.
Delivery
“The product promised is the product delivered.” Converting an audience assumes their ability to visualize your process, and what delivery will look like.
