Pro Tips:
With an increased need for digital marketing and PR to connect to a brand’s overall marketing plan, what are some trends that are yielding a greater ROI for your clients?
A strong, consistent online presence across all communications that accurately represents your brand, digital advertising to drive traffic to the website and targeted campaigns on social media.
With the opportunities to build trust through face-to-face contact being replaced by virtual first impressions, what can firms do to ensure that their brand identity is strong and cohesive online?
Have a website that accurately represents your brand, corporate culture and successful track record and a strong LinkedIn profile. Generally, the first step people will take to learn more about a company is through a Google or LinkedIn search. This, in many cases, will serve as your first impression.
