Fill the holes in your creative agency and offer value added services to your clients through partnerships with smaller, complementing agencies. Your clients will love you for it.

The majority of marketing and advertising agencies have no more than 10 employees. According to the U.S. Bureau Census, 68% of the 50,000 registered agencies have only 5 workers. This type of small, intimate company does not have the financial and labor resources that a large agency would have to employ a large creative staff experienced in all types of media, production and creative design. However, there are many advantages to having a smaller team compared to the larger agencies and in-house corporate marketing departments. 

Continuity is one of the most important factors to consider when sending your message to your intended audience, no matter what medium is chosen. Many people focus solely on brand consistency which is a big part of brand marketing but continuity is equally important. Brand continuity is essential for success because it helps businesses reinforce their image. On average, a person needs to see a message or image about seven times, delivered in various ways to retain the message or image of an advertising campaign.  It is important to realize that those seven different times your advertising message reaches your intended person, the message needs to be similar enough to be associated with those other six times they saw your advertisement. Brand continuity ensures that your business gains the market visibility, reliable image and competitive edge it needs.

Promoting live events to reach your ideal regional segment can be costly both in effort and funds spent. It has been statistically proven that people who are already at an arena or event center are significantly more likely to go to another event at that same venue and spread the message to friends and family about upcoming events they saw showcased. Promotion of live events should be focusing on the "low hanging fruit" of current patrons. For example, people attending a Bon Jovi event probably have younger children or grandchildren, making it an opportune time to promote your upcoming event "Muppets On Ice" on the existing digital signage displays throughout the building. They will remember this event because there is close relevance to their personal lives.

Re-purposing your content and marketing assets may not feel completely natural, but there are several reasons why using existing material will help your marketing staff and your company image. Reusing content can be daunting since it requires not only strategic creativity, but also tactical planning. Read below to find some pointers and advantages on how to re-purpose your library of digital signage content.

Most people understand that not using a product or service to it’s full potential is a waste of money. It reminds me of when my father or uncle would seem to exacerbate when I would not fill my car with premium gas. My little zippy hybrid car manual’s instructions recommended premium. The reason for their dismay with my lack of concern over gas type had to do with their own experiences. 

My dad owned a mint 1967 classic black Porsche 911. For my uncle, it was all about the comfort of his car since he is 6 foot 6 inches tall, and has gone between Cadillac's and Lincoln's his entire life (that I can remember). Both my dad and uncle could add regular gas to their cars, but they knew it would not allow the car to perform at maximum levels and deteriorate the automobiles faster. My dad even went on to explain the ideas of the higher octane levels resulting in engine knocking and compression ratio. In high-performance vehicles, which have a high compression ratio, the engines are more prone to pre-ignition and this is why they can truly benefit from premium fuel.

The term “becoming digital” is now an ambiguous umbrella term referring to staying modern and relevant for customers.  Staying relative to the public is imperative for the retail financial institution.  Yes, many banks believe it is “trendy” to install a few digital screens around the customer floor and waiting area, filling the screens with mere self advertisements for promotional loans and financing for large purchases or new home buyers.
