Generate Qualified Leads Not Just Clicks

Marketers face a common challenge across industries and verticals. Clients demand results. Yet many campaigns optimize for volume and vanity metrics. Businesses and advertising agencies want to generate qualified leads, not just clicks. The pressure to show immediate results often distracts marketers. They celebrate high engagement metrics while ignoring lead quality. Meanwhile, competitors capture better prospects with strategic approaches. The difference lies in optimization philosophy. Clicks Aren't the Goal—Leads Are A click represents interest, not intent to purchase. Many clicks come from curiosity seekers, job hunters, or competitors researching your client's approach. The story comes to mind of the Ferarri [...]

Hyper-Local Targeting

People like convenience, even when it comes to hiring a personal injury attorney. Local is often synonymous with convenient. Even large regional and national firms often have multiple offices to increase convenience. Capturing more clients who live locally is a great way to increase business. Successful local advertising requires hyper-local targeting. Every practice needs to define what is hyper-local. Hyper-local in urban settings is very different than in rural towns. Physical attributes affect convenience. A major thoroughfare can make 20 miles relatively convenient. Whereas a river with no crossing for 15 miles can make a 2-mile radius insurmountable. Define hyper-local [...]

The Resurgence of Audio

It is easy to assume that radio advertising “went away” and is now returning thanks to digital audio. But that would be an oversimplification. Radio never left but it has slowly evolved as listening habits morphed. The resurgence of audio really speaks to varied ways we now consume “radio.” Radio has always had very valuable attributes for advertisers. It appeals to the full spectrum of the population. It is popular with listeners young and old, of all ethnicities and income levels. We trust radio and exhibit loyalty to our favorite stations and personalities. At the same time, how we consume [...]

Creating An Omnichannel Presence

My father often said that a “rising tide raises all ships.” I don’t recall it applying to marketing, but it should. In particular, that adage applies to creating an omnichannel presence. People consult multiple media outlets prior to making a decision. Marketing plans that plot a prospect’s journey and integrate messaging and tactics to seamlessly move that person to a conversion are the most successful. Let’s talk about how and why. The Way People Buy Has Changed Today’s consumers don’t use just one platform to make decisions. They move from social media to websites, from podcasts to reviews, and sometimes [...]

Media Convergence – Using Streaming and Traditional TV Together

The way people watch television has changed. What used to be one screen is now many. Viewers watch live news on their TVs, then switch to a streaming app on their phone. For marketers, this shift isn't a problem, it’s an opportunity. Because smart advertising hasn't changed. Multi-media campaigns work better than single platform efforts as they broaden reach and increase frequency. The trick is to master media convergence – using streaming and traditional TV together. Today’s best advertising campaigns don’t choose between traditional TV and streaming. Instead, they use both. By combining Linear TV with OTT and CTV, advertisers [...]

Can AI Build a Media Plan

At the start of the year, I tested AI’s ability to build a marketing plan. I hoped it would be fast, smart, and helpful. It was fast—but not that smart. So, I ran a new test. I wanted to know: Can AI build a media plan. I needed to know, can AI build a smart media plan? So we gave AI real client briefs. We also gave it fake ones to test range. And we used the same RFP for each platform. It included goals, audience, geography and budget. In some cases, the AI tools could access client websites for added context. [...]

AI soon became a buzzword that for many signified replacing humans with machines. And like many buzzwords, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is also misunderstood. While it is transformational, it is not a do-everything click a button solve a problem program. So, is it possible to create a marketing plan with AI? AI has impacted marketing, offering tools to automate tasks, analyze data, and generate ideas. Yet, like any technology, it has limitations. Over the next few weeks we will explore [...]
