Effective Brand Strategy
The term ‘Branding’ has become a catch all for most elements of the marketing enterprise. The reason for such prominence is simple: The brand is everything. A company or product’s brand, what the public imagines it to be, is the primary driver for sales and market success. Your brand is your company so all elements of the company’s brand strategy must fit within the context of a complete and comprehensive package.
Comprehensive package thinking is the essence of the PMDG approach to branding. Everything the public sees, hears, touches and senses about a company or product makes an impression. Any element, from the company logo to the sound of the voice on the other end of the tech support line says something about a company or product. Deficiencies in one area of the brand presentation can adversely affect all the other elements.
PMDG devises and creates effective brand strategies that look at all aspects of a company’s operations. We create a feel, look and style to present your company and products as vitally necessary to potential and existing customers.
Public Relations
The average person believes brands are built through advertising but all great brands are cemented in the public’s imagination through effective Public Relations. Long before the first advertisement for a product or service an effective Public Relations campaign has seeded the marketplace with glowing reports on the company and its products. When the ads do arrive they tend to maintain brand perceptions as opposed to changing them.
PMDG creates targeted PR strategies to bring your company or product into the consciousness of the marketplace. Through press relations, Channel partners and distribution networks we create a buzz of activity in the form of product reviews, company profiles, company officer or employee biographical sketches and announcements and a vast laundry list of guerilla marketing techniques to get the message out in the public. In this manner the public or targeted market base anticipates your new product launches, service roll-outs and company openings.
Press Releases
The old fashioned Press Release remains the most effective tool for wide distribution of positive information in the marketplace. The difference today is there are so many new outlets for the information. PMDG writes crisply effective Press Releases by driving home primary points of interest and often keyed to recent events. Taking this approach PMDG keeps your company foremost in the minds of your target markets. As new forms of electronic distribution have arisen each Press Release can act as a viral marketing tool, creating exponentially greater exposure in the marketplace of ideas than ever before.
Media Relations
For most companies the maintenance of a relationship with media outlets is unnecessary and prohibitively expensive. But what happens when a company wants to roll out a new product to a large degree of fanfare? That’s where PMDG can assist in creating an atmosphere of anticipation. In short, we maintain media relationships for you so when the time comes for a press conference or product introduction you’ll get the ink and video time necessary to give your marketing efforts a generous boost.
Advertising
PMDG creates advertising concepts for use in all forms of media including new media outlets. Product and company ads are designed to work effectively within the construct of the overall brand strategy. New advertising channels, from local cable to click-per-view web traffic, continue to gain in popularity and usefulness providing advertisers with cost-effective ways to maintain brands and disseminate new messages.
PMDG seeks to build an advertising mix enabling companies to fully understand the power and effectiveness of marketing dollars spent in advertising. Instant online tracking, pay-per-view, pay-per-click and pay-per-lead generated techniques are now standard in an industry that once played on the ‘mysteries’ of advertising. Nowadays we know why buyers access company and product information and we’re able to specifically target market niches to generate higher sales and greater profitability.
Ads created by PMDG utilize thematic branding techniques to build a connection with the reader, viewer or mouse pilot. Using humor, drama and emotional prompts creates a greater sense of awareness about a company’s brand or product features and entrenches these ideas in the mind of the consumer.
