Takeaways
• Look for content across your organization – subject matter experts do not
only reside in your marketing department, nor can content only be found
in your active projects.
• Take an objective approach when analyzing your current marketing
materials. Are they really accomplishing your goals? Do they enhance
your content or fight with it?You may have different audiences, and
different channels for those audiences. Make sure to match your content
with your audience & channel, and don’t try to send everything out to
everyone all the time.Planning is key. A content calendar will help, should
use resources from across the organization, and need to be kept on top
of to ensure you push out your content on time.Visuals should be planned
out and intentional.
They need to match your message and be consistent.

brand & market themselves through

Editor's Notes

  1. Corrie / Dawn And I’ll be talking about how to -incorporate that message into your current marketing materials, and -make sure that the visuals you’re using match the message you’re trying to send.
  2. Corrie
  3. Corrie
  4. Corrie
  5. Corrie
  6. Corrie
  7. Corrie
  8. Corrie
  9. Dawn In addition to auditing content, it’s important to determine a few things about the visual image you’re portraying -What image are you currently giving customers? -What image do you want to be giving? -These may sound like the same question, but usually it’s not. - Does your current image work with the content message you’re putting together? - Be objective when evaluating - may be too close to have perspective - consider enlisting an outside party to help - Objective party can also help you evaluate the internal vs. external perception of your message - often a message seems stale internally, when it is just catching on externally - another issue may be that while internal experts understand the message, customers unfamiliar with your company may be missing it - avoid industry jargon or abbreviations
  10. Dawn
  11. Dawn - Finding your audience can really be broken into a few different areas - first, who is your target audience? In a perfect world, all your customers would be _____? - secondly, who is your current audience? Are these two the same? How do they differ? Can they be combined? - example: maybe your visuals are currently appealing to teens, while you’d prefer to appeal to women in their 20s with more disposable income - finally, where can you expand? - assuming you can’t survive forever without attracting new customers, where can you expand your current market? - example: if you’re currently targeting single women in their 20s, can you expand to include mothers in their 30s as that group ages? -- example: If you’re a bakery, can you expand to offer gluten free products? - maybe, maybe not. Depending on the industry - example: Baby Gap opened almost exactly 20 years after the Gap - began to capitalize on it’s initial target market as they started having children Introduce Corrie: Where is your audience?
  12. Corrie
  13. Corrie
  14. Corrie
  15. Dawn Extremely important - visuals should match the message and target market - if your targeting rough and tumble middle aged bikers, probably won’t use pastels and soft organic curves in your visuals - visuals are consistant - If done well, your brand will come to mind even before the user sees your logo
  16. Dawn
  17. Dawn
  18. Dawn You’ve developed a strategy, found your audience, and determined your key message - now how do you effectively communicate that message? - First, you need to establish your identity - how will your audience know you? - it might be helpful to think of a few adjectives you’d use to describe your brand and keep them in mind throughout all your visuals - Second, you need to carry it through - by that we mean that visually your graphics need to be consistent across all your delivery platforms - Stay true to your core - while you may need to tweak your visuals slightly to fit your message and attract the target audience, you don’t want to go to extremes and lose current customers - the goal is to convert them and keep them - example: Levi’s jeans
  19. Dawn - example: Levi’s jeans - once reputation for hardworking, farm brand, mens jeans - whether intentional or not - image can be seen in their old logo design - sharp turn to youth brand - edgy, non-conservative
  20. Corrie
  21. Corrie
  22. Corrie
  23. Dawn With so much planning and effort put into the content message, the visuals have to be just as strong - deliberate & consistent strategy - we call this intentional design - give yourself the time needed to develop your materials thoughtfully - what looks simple may take hours to develop correctly - throwing together a ‘good enough’ image to post at the last minute can detract from the message you’ve worked to communicate - the package should enhance the message, not detract from it
  24. Dawn I mentioned that we call this ‘intentional design’ and here are a few examples of what I mean by that in practice - This first one is the new website we just rolled out for Godfather’s Pizza - over a year in the making, the visuals for the site were very deliberate - we start with a content map, outline goals and hierarchy, and only then move on to an actual design - Design documentation is able to show each piece of the site layout with accompanying text explaining how each element of the design is accomplishing specific goals
  25. Dawn Similarly, when designing a logo, a lot of people think it is a simple process, when in reality we go through dozens of concepts before narrowing down and focusing on a few that best accomplish the company goals - we then, again, provide documentation illustrating the detailed elements of the logo, the thought process that went into it, and the correct and various ways it can be used while still accomplishing those goals
  26. Dawn
  27. Dawn
