Professional Speakers on Marketing and Movements

In addition to our work as digital marketers, we regularly host workshops and present at conferences. We’ve developed a Movement Marketing Program; a unique service designed for organizations and leaders ready to expand and engage an online movement. You can read more about how we help you develop this program strategy, here.

We take components from this program and present to audiences looking to kick-start their own online movements and seeking digital expertise. We also love to talk about what the web loves and the constantly shifting landscape of online advertising.

The Remarkables and Word-of-Mouth Marketing for Non-Profits

If you only engage in ordinary outreach activities – petition asks, email marketing and Google AdWord buys – you won’t get noticed in a busy landscape where every non-profit is vying for attention and support. Why? When everyone does the same thing, no one organization shines. Truly remarkable organizations get their marketing done for them – for free – by their most excited, committed, passionate and devoted fans. They earn it by providing exceptional member experiences, by being unique, bold and creative.Word-of-mouth isn’t just about one-off gimmicks or “viral” campaigns. It’s an overall approach to movement building based no a new online reality where everyday people have become the most powerful marketing department on the planet. Non-profit organizations are starting to create remarkable online campaigns based on the theory and philosophy of movement marking.

Building a Social Media Strategy

Adding social media into the marketing mix is increasingly important for marketers and communicators who want to establish an online presence for their organizations. Wherever you are in your social media learning, it’s important to take a step back and evaluate your social media marketing strategy. Are you in the right social media channels? There’s more to the social web than Twitter and Facebook. Are you using your time effectively? Are you cutting through the web’s (and your competitors’) noise?

How to Manage Your Online Advertising

According to a recent report published by Efficient Frontier (EF), a digital marketing firm that monitors growth in search engine advertising, the total amount marketers were likely to spend on cost-per-click (CPC) advertising on Facebook rose 22% in the last quarter. The report predicts that “advertising dollars will shift from offline to search, Facebook and display” channels. We tend to agree. If this is true, then brands still considering online advertising budgets would be wise to test the waters of online advertising now. The longer they wait, the longer they risk competing with brands already established in these channels who, as early-adopters of CPC ads, have had a head start converting users into customers. We can show you how to wade into online advertising and stretch you budget across the different online channels.

Social Media: What’s New and What Matters?

Though most of us missed the first few years, the social web is about a decade old. We’ve all observed the explosive growth of services like blogs, Facebook and Twitter– about two-thirds of Canadians have a Facebook account. Organizations wrestle with how best to engage with a social media landscape that continues to shift under their feet. What are the current trends in social media? Where should you spend your online time and dollars? Answers to these questions rest in case studies from the cultural and historical sectors, and lessons that you can apply to your own work, right away.
