What is your favorite advertising campaign that you have created for a client?

How does your marketing strategy change from working with a local advertising client to a national advertising client?
With local customers, we often focus on geo-location based targeting, as well as messaging that speaks to relevance, convenience, and local expertise. With national clients, messaging might be more focused on relevance through customer motivations and behaviors.

Why is it important to hire a digital marketing agency and not just a full service marketing agency with a digital marketing component?
In this day and age, all brands need to be digital natives. While some legacy marketing firms have gotten good at digital, they’re not digital first and they’re not necessarily focused on keeping your brand on top of current digital trends, so much as tacking digital onto traditional methods.

BluHorn TV – “5 Minutes With” Clayton Joyner from Turbo Medical Marketing

Company: Turbo Medical Marketing
Website Address: turbomedicalmarketing.com
Interviewee: Clayton Joyner

Short company description: We are full service Aesthetic Medical Marketing Growth Membership organization.
In the Next 5 years, the biggest change to marketing will be what?: Hyper personalized content delivery

Mike White
Tell us about the services you provide.

Clayton Joyner
We are a full service digital marketing agency. We’re in the process now of expanding it to multiple products within the digital realm and we niche in the aesthetic medical marketing space. So we typically are working with plastic surgeons, med spots, cosmetic terms. Our whole objective really is to get a 360 degree presence for them digitally to make sure that there’s no gaps in their marketing strategy and they can continue to grow. Part of that in turn obviously is to provide feedback. We’ve come up with a four section framework for growth that we’re making sure that we have digital strategies that will mirror what we need in each of those segments to make sure that not only does our practice get results and today but they need to be able to sustain that result level for 10-15 years from now.

Mike White
So when you sit down with one of your prospective clients and they say well I’ve got an in-house marketing person why do I need you. Why is it important for someone to hire an outside resource to handle their digital or additional marketing needs.

Clayton Joyner
I love that question. Okay I love that question. So it is impossible. There are things that we could do and there are things that we should do to get the level of performance out of the strategies that we deploy, that you should have in place to sustain and grow your business. And in this case of practice, one person can’t do that. In our case we’re a little bit unique because we’re dealing with surgeons who’ve been through medical school or residency. I mean they’re really smart people so the idea of them thinking that they couldn’t figure something out on their own is really a challenge. If they can’t figure out how to get any success and they realize the next limit is going to be time, no one has enough time to be a surgeon, and be a marketer, and run a business, it just doesn’t work.

Mike White
Over the next three years what do you think the biggest trend in digital marketing is going to be?

Clayton Joyner
You know it’s a fantastic question and there are so many different changes that I can see on the horizon that we’re about to face. People assume that all digital marketing is going to kill all the traditional media and then everything we used to do is now going to just completely shift and it’s all the new things. You know some of that might be true but I think the reality of the situation is that there’s a whole lot of very successful strategies. And I want to point that keyword out, there’s a very big difference between strategies and tactics. When you talk digital marketing versus traditional marketing, the changes that we’re going to see I think we will see a lot of shift in actual tactic. I think the strategies are going to remain the same.

BluHorn TV – “5 Minutes With” Kenneth Lempit from Austin Lawerence Group

Company: Austin Lawerence Group Inc.
Website Address: www.austinlawrence.com
Interviewee: Kenneth Lempit

Short company description: Austin Lawrence Group is a content marketing agency that helps SaaS companies to accelerate growth through content marketing and thought leadership initiatives.
In the Next 5 years, the biggest change to marketing will be what?: AI will no doubt change a lot of the busy work of marketing. Administrative tasks that are at all repetitive will be automated partially or fully.
Why is it important for a business to hire an outside ad agency as opposed to having just an internal marketing director?: This is a big one… internal teams may start strong but ultimately calcify. Agencies bring a wealth of experience and context that internal teams gradually lose, and as this sharp edge dulls, the power of the ideas being generated goes down.

Mike White launched Client Focused Media in 2002, the leading integrated marketing firm in Northeast Florida with extensive capabilities and experience providing strategic planning, marketing, creative, advertising, printing, branding, public relations and crisis communications services. He also serves as the Publisher of Jacksonville Buzz Magazine which reaches 150,000 readers each month and is the CEO of Bluhorn Solutions. Because of White’s commitment to provide the broadest range of integrated marketing services possible for CFM’s clients, he also founded an events production company as well as a promotional product company to support CFM’s cutting edge marketing campaigns and to yield measurable results for CFM clients at the most efficient rates.

Mike White
Tell me about the Austin Lawrence Group and what you guys provide services or what services you provide and for whom.

Ken Lempit
Austin Lawrence is a growth marketing agency. Our business is primarily online. We build content and engagement experiences for our clients which are primarily SAS software companies. We operate in three areas. We provide thought leadership programs, and those are campaigns designed to change the way people think about an industry a company or a market. We do business effectiveness consulting for these SAS companies touching them everywhere that they touch customers or prospects. Then we do the day to day lead generation marketing of content work and blogs, ebooks, webinars, white papers, et cetera.

Mike White
At what point did you start transforming into the content development and the digital aspects that you provide the SAS businesses.

Ken Lempit
Yeah. So the agency was traditionally an advertising agency fully print and in real life events. Things really changed for us about six years ago when we started getting involved in tying the performance of Web based content sales outcomes. And I think that the ability to link up the activities online with what actually occurred in sales has been really the revolution. The ability to do the analytics in a closed loop fashion has really been a game changer over the last five years.

Mike White
You’ve got an entire team, out of the team what is your favorite worker and why.

Ken Lempit
I think that as a leader you have to look at the people that actually do the work and make you successful. And Kelly Burke is someone on my team who is just unflappable and what I really appreciate about this woman is that you know I haven’t given her an assignment yet that’s failed and she’s never said I can’t do it. She’s only said let me figure it out. And I think for people in the early to mid stage of their career perhaps the most important thing you can do is be that can do person who figures it out gets the job done. So that’s Kelly Burke.

Mike White
What do you feel are gonna be the biggest trend centers or trend setters or game changing activities that are gonna take place in the near future when it comes to digital marketing.

Ken Lempit
Well I think there’s two things ones right on us and one’s coming real soon. What’s right on us is that content marketing, while very effective and very important, it’s become almost impossible for many companies to search organically as the main way to generate inbound leads. So we’re gonna have to promote our content more than we previously might have wanted to. And that means we’re going to need to budget for advertising, for promoting our content in ways that we didn’t use to do. I think coming right on the heels of this the next two to three years AI in marketing automation is going to take away a lot of the jobs the need for the repetitive tasks that we that we staff today and I think that’s going to catch people by surprise from what I can tell. So I’d say that we’re in automation interestingly we’re creating a lot of manual labor. And I think some of that’s going to go away and the pace will accelerate over the next two to four years. So somewhere between two and three years it’s going to really be a trend.

BluHorn TV – 5 Minutes With Jonathan Greene from LeadCrunch

Each week on Bluhorn TV, David Sillick talks to experts in the media industry. Today David talks to Jonathan Greene from LeadCrunch.

Company: LeadCrunch
Website Address: www.leadcrunch.com
Interviewee: Jonathan Greene

Short company description: We utilize advanced artificial intelligence and new, proprietary targeting data to provide B2B lookalike audiences.

What is your favorite advertising campaign that you have created for a client or participated in?: Oracle + Bronto. We were able to reduce their COA by over 50%

David Sillick
Tell us a little bit about the business.

Jonathan Greene
Lead crunch is a B2B marketing company. We try to answer that real tricky question of you know if if technology continues to advance and things continue to get more and more complex, there’s artificial intelligence and there’s CRM and there’s ABM strategies, then why is B2B marketing not improving? And we’ve found that the causes the underlying targeting is pretty terrible. So what we strive to do as a company we’ve come up with a new way to target outside of that demographic. From a graphic modality right which is to say most people begin by saying Let me figure out how many people are in the company and how much revenue they have and what industry they’re in. But the problem is that those underlying information points like next codes and all the things that people use for targeting are really inaccurate.

David Sillick
So tell us about a recent success story.

Jonathan Greene
We worked with Oracle and Bronto and we were able to decrease the cost of acquisition about 200 percent for them. Oracle grotto is just one case study. We’ve got a bunch of people we’ve been able to really move the needle in terms of cost of acquisition for new customers.

David Sillick
How do you usually work with your clients are you retainer based or project based.

Jonathan Greene
Not at all which is actually exciting. We do a cost per lead lead generation so you can come to us with a relatively small amount of pilot a budget you know five grand 10 grand and we can run a program for you and you’ll be able to press that through your funnel and see what the return on that’s going to be. It’s a no risk situation.
