How to Enhance your Image
and Brand through Electronic Media
Presented by Nyda Bittmann-Neville,
CEO TNB Consulting Group, Inc.
Here are several of the highlights from the
presentation…..
#1
The “cornerstone” of the master marketing plan…your defined and
desired image and brand….does the “buzz” fit?
We begin by defining image and brand and
working our way to determine if the selected electronic media
and the “buzz” it may create is a fit within the master plan.
#2
The back room functions eventually reach the client…are they
informed?
Use electronic media to ensure the back room
operations and all employees know of the marketing campaigns and
all efforts. Nothing can take the “bang” of the “buzz” faster
than an employee not knowing about the campaign and making a
negative comment that “they never tell us anything”.
Use video technology to help communicate effectively and
efficiently what marketing and public relations is doing to
enhance the image and brand of the company or organization. This
technology allows key personnel to be seen and heard and shows
the passion they have about the success of the company AND how
each employee plays a role.
#3
How will this electric media benefit my business and my
clients? This is the question to answer!
Start with answering the question of how will
this media benefit my master plan, then for each point you can
make, identify three benefits. If you can, then move forward; if
not, return to the drawing board. Maybe the time is not right
for this particular media. Do the same for your clients, what
will be the benefit?
#4
Can you stand the “heat of the kitchen”? What if the implementation
of electric media is successful?
Remember the commercial where the employees
gathered around the laptop and watched as their product had just
been launched on the web. They longingly looked for a click or a
“buy”. At last, the first click, then 15, 50, 100, 1000 and it
just keep going, faster and faster. At that point, they all
begin to stand up straight and look at each other. You knew just
what they were thinking….”oh my, what have we done?”
Do not let this happen to you. Make sure that you are ready to
take the heat of the kitchen if your launch is successful.
#5
Can the use of this media create ICE (Interest, Connection,
Excitement)?
How many of you have noticed an ice sculpture
at a corporate dinner or on a cruise? I observed many people as
they watched in wonder the details of the ice sculpture. It
brought interest and attention to the food, made it taste
better, created an atmosphere for the people to engage in
conversation. And they were excited! Isn’t that what you want
your marketing and public relations efforts to do? Of course!
So determine how each of the electronic media and its use is
going to create ICE. This exercise will certainly help to ensure
the success of your campaigns and efforts.
Electronic media is here to stay and will continue to change the
ways we communicate with our clients, prospects, and employees.
Use electronic media to your advantage!
