roadmap
Have you ever used a navigation app that only lists the very next turn to take? We understand that it’s stressful to make an investment in marketing when you can’t see the path ahead. Our Marketing Success Roadmap enables us to determine exactly what we need to do in order to take your business where you need to go. Here’s how it works.
You know you need marketing, but you may not be sure whether you should build a team internally or look outside your four walls for help. Making the right decision will ensure your investment is rewarded with results, not frustration. Whether we’re right for you or not, we want your organization to grow. Here’s what to expect from us while we’re deciding about entering a relationship.
In our initial meeting, we’ll meet to make sure our values align and that we have the capabilities to help you accomplish your goals. We like to visit your facility, meet your people, and see your business in action.
During the sales intake process, we’re learning about your business and identifying your marketing needs. We’re asking a lot of questions so we can understand your business and hit the ground running when you come on board as a client.
We’ll take what we learned from our fact finding meeting back to the marketing and creative teams to generate initial ideas to help you achieve your growth objectives.
If all goes well, then we’ll deliver you a proposal that’s written in basic language that outlines the steps we’ll take to help your company win. Whether you engage with us for a long-term strategic relationship or a finite project, we’ll give you flat fee pricing that eliminates surprises.
We’re embarking on this trip together—where are we? During the first 30 days of our relationship, we’ll identify the current state of your marketing to assess what our team should focus on first while also defining a concrete plan for the future.
After you become a client, our team does a deep-dive into the current state of your business and marketing efforts. Nothing is off-limits–we’re checking you out on social media, learning about how you communicate with your customers, looking at your website and any customer-facing communications.
We’ll lead you through a fun exercise (some call it a therapy session) to identify your core audience and the role your business plays in helping them solve their problems.
No one wants to show up to the dance wearing the same outfit as three other people. The same is true for brands. We’ll scour your competitors’ market presence to determine where to best position your company to win.
We’ll take what we learned from your brand messaging workshop and build upon it as we create profiles for the other types of customers in your target audience.
This is where we hit the ground running! We take everything we learned about the current state of your business and determine how we can begin generating results for your company.
We’ll use the results of our intake assessments to tackle the issues that need to be shored up with items like your website, social media profiles, Google My Business listing, and other aspects of your digital presence.
Do you have an old sales sheet that hasn’t been updated since Y2K was a thing? Brochures that make your sales team cry? Working on these pieces will not only make them better, but will also help our team learn your business while trying out your refreshed brand messaging.
Along the way, we work with your team to develop a one-page marketing plan that summarizes your business and priorities. We determine which marketing channels we want to focus on–lead generation, website, social, paid ads, events, etc. and create a plan to maximize their impact.
We want to be the last marketing firm you ever have to hire. Our structured approach to planning your marketing priorities ensure that we stay in lockstep year after year.
We'll spend time each month asking about your current sales opportunities, wins, and losses to help us optimize our ongoing activities.
We have transparent conversations about goals, needs, and your sales pipeline. We take all of this information and develop a quarterly plan, including campaigns and tactics that will help us accomplish the goals we set during this meeting.
We’ll establish metrics to measure our success, along with a budget for the year and how that budget will be spent. We take everything you hope to accomplish in the next 12 months and create a strategy that is tailored to your business.
Great websites advance sales and marketing objectives while integrating with operations to make your employees’ jobs easier. Unlike many creative marketing firms who build websites “behind the black curtain”, we take a methodical, transparent approach to ensure we remain aligned with your website goals and launch on time, on budget.
We map out the different personas of the users who are going to interact with your site and establish the path we want them to take, to increase the odds of conversion.
We'll conduct research and interview your subject matter experts to gather the knowledge we need to educate your prospects and customers. Then, we craft your content with a cohesive voice and tone, using strategic messaging that resonates with your target audience.
Strategy and creative work in tandem during the design process to create page layouts that highlight the content and drive users toward conversion.
Our websites are beautiful inside and out. We write code according to the latest industry standards, and we build on the most widely used website content management system on the planet: WordPress. In addition to coding the front end of your site to engage users, our developers thoughtfully construct the back end of your website to make it easy for you and your employees to update and manage your content and imagery.
We have a thorough process for taking websites live so you and your customers don’t experience any down time. We complete a 300+ point quality control (QC) checklist to ensure that we launch your new website into the cyber world as close to perfect as possible.
