I am an Integrated Marketing Specialist with over 15 years of experience consulting with local business owners to help develop strategic long term marketing plans. In addition to consulting, I can offer branding & promotional campaign IDEAS, commercial/digital video production, animated digital ad creative, local broadcast TV & targeted digital media placement. The digital tactics that I can help manage for you include SEO, Google Ad Words, Social Media Management, Advanced TV (Roku/AmazonFirestick/ABC/NBC/CBS/ESPN-APPS,etc), E-Mail Marketing, and event, weather & location targeting (geofencing) with digital and video ads. The POWER of local broadcast television helps cast a wide net & give your brand both credibility and top of the mind awareness. The PRECISION of digital marketing helps you zone in on your target market, reaching consumers when you know they are on-line searching for your products & services. The people that I consult with truly appreciate having one local contact to assist them with marketing strategy, campaign creative, TV/digital ad placement & digital performance analytics. They also appreciate the fact that I am able to show them the value of a prospect & how many new clients/sales they need to get a return on their marketing investment. If you are a local business owner that would like help establishing a marketing budget & laying out a strategic long term marketing plan, I'd LOVE to meet with you! #FREECONSULTATION #ONEPOINTOFCONTACT #NEXSTAR MEDIA #HYFN LOCAL #KCAU #SIOUXLANDPROUD.COM
