We are passionate about our unique marketing solution that typically generates an 8-10% R.O.I. with at least a $100K budget. We target the middle class in cities that are 1-5 million adults with an average household income of $90K+.

What is our recipe? We assimilate your brand into a clean and simple message with a call to action. Minimal text and strong visuals. Then, we choreograph a digital billboard campaign that matches the message of a direct mail campaign in the same area that the billboards display.

The key is that the message is matched or mirrored for both pieces. We can update the message monthly and orchestrate the mail and the billboards to drop the new message on the same day! Your customer is driving home and see your message on the digital billboard and then gets home and opens their mail and also receives your message there!

We have well-established contracts to place billboard advertising anywhere in the country at discounted rates. (Certain $ minimum requirements may apply)

We can do direct mail anywhere in the continental United States (lower 48) at a cost of usually around .60ea piece that includes design, printing and postage!

PROFESSIONAL MARKETING

Marketing is defined by the American Marketing Association as the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. The term developed from the original meaning which referred literally to going to market, as in shopping, or going to a market to sell goods or services.

Marketing practice tends to be seen as a creative industry, which includes advertising, distribution and selling. It is also concerned with anticipating the customers’ future needs and wants, which are often discovered through market research. Seen from a systems point of view, sales process engineering views marketing as a set of processes that are interconnected and interdependent with other functions, whose methods can be improved using a variety of relatively new approaches.

Marketing is influenced by many of the social sciences, particularly psychology, sociology, and economics. Anthropology and neuroscience are also small but growing influences. Market research underpins these activities. Through advertising, it is also related to many of the creative arts. The marketing literature is also infamous for re-inventing itself and its vocabulary according to the times and the culture.

At North Star Multimedia, we are experienced in the integration of marketing psychologies, tracking results and having fun along the way.

The American Marketing Association (AMA) defines a brand as a “name, term, sign, symbol or design, or a combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of other sellers.

Therefore it makes sense to understand that branding is not about getting your target market to choose you over the competition, but it is about getting your prospects to see you as the only one that provides a solution to their problem.Do you have a well established BRAND?

The objectives that a good brand will achieve include:

Delivers the message clearly
Confirms your credibility
Connects your target prospects emotionally
Motivates the buyer
Concretes User Loyalty

To succeed in branding you must understand the needs and wants of your customers and prospects. You do this by integrating your brand strategies through your company at every point of public contact.

Your brand resides within the hearts and minds of customers, clients, and prospects. It is the sum total of their experiences and perceptions, some of which you can influence, and some that you cannot.

A strong brand is invaluable as the battle for customers intensifies day by day. It’s important to spend time investing in researching, defining, and building your brand. After all your brand is the source of a promise to your consumer. It’s a foundation piece in your marketing communication and one you do not want to be without.

Our experience with small to mid-sized companies is success is based on a clearly defined Mission Statement. This can become an Achilles heel for the majority of small to mid-sized businesses. At the end of the day, the customer wants to know they are getting the best value. To do that, the client must be very clear on what they are offering and what they can commit to.

This, then, parlays into every marketing campaign from here on out. We will help you lay this critical foundation so that your future investments of time and resources are productive.

Business to business….it works…

At North Star Multimedia, the unique value we try to bring our customers is as a relatively small creative agency, is to bring the efficient ability to integrate your entire branding and manage your marketing/advertising output to print, web, social media, television and radio.

We see far too often that smaller companies have one person doing their business card design, another producing their website, and other handling their television and radio. We can provide all of these services under one umbrella. This translates to consistent branding which translates to your customers being very clear on what your services are in this muddled marketing-sphere.
