Our Services

Our team focuses primarily on the strategy, creation, and promotion of Owned Media. It is the core of all content marketing and fills your inbound marketing machine. However, we do work with an outside partner to facilitate Paid Media placements, and we can do research for you on which Earned Media outlets might be best to pitch for promotion of your content.

Earned, Owned & Paid Media:

1. Earned Media:

Outside publications or influencers choose to share your original content or endorse you online. You have ‘earned’ their mentions voluntarily. Examples include mentions on social media, reposts, recommendations, and endorsements. Benefits include street cred from having others endorse your content and exposure to a wider audience.

2. Owned Media:

Your marketing team promotes your original content that you own. Examples include your blog, your website, social media, downloadable content, and videos. Benefits include having total control over the content, educating your audience, driving traffic to your website and social media channels as well as positioning your team as thought leaders.

3. Paid Media:

You purchase sponsored content or advertisements on third-party sites or platforms. This is ‘pay to play’ media. Examples include PPC Ads, display ads, and influencer marketing. Benefits include creating awareness of your company to a new audience and driving traffic to your website.

We recommend some combination of all three media types. Your choices of how much of each type should match your business goals and the behavior of your audience.
