Welcome to Bronte's Delightfully Saucy Blog.
A "blog" where I ramble (primarily to myself) about my journey in digital marketing, content creation, and life itself.
Alright, folks! Buckle up, say your prayers, and call your mom to tell her you love her (not because something bad is going to happen, but because nobody seems to do that anymore, and it's just nice).
Disclaimer: This will be more silly than strictly professional, so loosen your tie and have a glass of wine (or five).
Are you creative, empathetic, or funny? First of all, congratulations on winning the personality and genetics lottery. Second, you could be a good match for marketing content creation. Creative marketing is all about breaking the mold and doing the unexpected. It's about storytelling that resonates, designs that captivate, and campaigns that go viral for all the right reasons.
Why Creativity is Your Best Friend in Marketing
Stand Out from the Crowd: In the digital age, being just another face in the crowd isn't going to cut it. Sometimes you gotta be a Big Gulp in a world of Stanleys.
Engage Your Community: It's not just about getting eyes on your brand; it's about building a community. Find your people, love them, and never let them go (but don't be creepy about it).
Boost Brand Recall: Have you ever seen an ad that's so clever that it sticks with you for days? That's the power of creativity. 🎶 "JG Wentworth? 877-Cash-Now" song plays in background🎶
How to Infuse Creativity into Your Marketing Strategy
Think Outside the Box (Literally): Start by throwing the proverbial box out the window. Look for inspiration in unexpected places and dare to be different in your approach.
Tell a Story: Everyone loves a good story. Weave your brand's values, mission, and personality into a narrative that captivates and connects with your audience on an emotional level. Emotions are the most powerful connection in marketing; look at Sarah Mclachlan. Her anti-animal abuse commercial raised $30 million in the first two years.
Leverage Visuals: A picture is worth a thousand words, and in the digital age, it's worth a thousand clicks. Invest in high-quality, original visuals that tell your brand's story at a glance. Below are some examples from previous projects.
Know Your Audience! What is your brand's persona? What do your consumers like, where do they live, how old are they, what is their mother's maiden name**, and what are the last 4 digits of their social security number**? These insights will show you what type of person your brand attracts, which will help target more like-minded consumers in future campaigns.
**This is a joke; do not steal someone's identity. Like ever.
Drawing Inspiration
Mix and Match: Combine your skills and experiences to create unique marketing strategies. Your unique blend of talents is what sets your brand apart.
Embrace Your Quirks: What makes you different makes you special. Use your brand's unique traits to craft marketing messages that are authentically you.
Champion a Cause: Just like my passion for projects aimed at the greater good, align your brand with causes that matter. It's not just good karma; it's good business.
So there you have it, a whirlwind tour of my tips for creative marketing that's sure to (maybe) help? Or you leave this only with the JG Wentworth song stuck in your head. Either way, I hope you had fun.
