Creative Marketing At Its Best…

Creative Marketing At Its Best…

A fabulous way to end the week!!!

Earlier this year, I was very fortunate to work with the amazing Gill Heppell on her new book – It’s Not About the Silver…When You’re Gone, Pass It On. This was a new adventure for Gill who had committed herself to write a book and have it published in October of this year.

Gill’s brief was very clear – vibrant, eye catching design that people will take notice if they see it on the shelves. Her writing name is Geordie Gill which needed to be reflected. So the Creationz Marketing team got straight to work

Working on the branding and front cover was a poignant project  due to my personal circumstances at the time. These circumstances really brought home how important keeping memories alive are and to see it in print feels amazing. It is so true that when you lose someone, it is the little memories and recipes that last and I am sure this is going to be a fantastic success for Gill!

Today, Gill joined our Synergy Business Network Club meeting and gave me a signed copy and it is something I will treasure and has made my week. Thank you so much Gill!

15 Years on LinkedIn: Where Has the Time Gone!

15 Years on LinkedIn: Where Has the Time Gone!

by | Oct 25, 2023 | Community

LinkedIn recently sent me a message that I’ve been a member of the platform for 15 years. It was a surprising reminder of how time flies and how LinkedIn has transformed over the years. From my early days on the platform to the vibrant professional hub it is today, my journey on LinkedIn has been like a rollercoaster – full of ups and downs. It has been a faithful friend from working in-house to setting up Creationz Marketing in 2013. It has had its uses and I have connected with people who I consider friends.
The Early Days: Let’s be honest, back in the day, LinkedIn was primarily a digital CV site for recruiters. It was a place to list your work history, connect with colleagues, and endorse each other’s skills. It was, in essence, an online business directory. And I must admit, I used it rather passively.
 
 
The Rise of Content: Fast forward a few years, and LinkedIn underwent a significant transformation. It became clear that this platform was more than just a place to showcase your CV. It was a dynamic space for sharing insights, industry news, and personal experiences. Quality content became the currency of influence.
 
 
Video Takes Centre Stage: One of the most noticeable shifts was the rise of video content. Suddenly, professionals were sharing not just written posts but also videos offering a glimpse into their work lives. It was a game-changer, adding a personal touch to the platform.
The Remote Work Revolution: The past couple of years brought about an unforeseen change – the widespread adoption of remote work. LinkedIn became the virtual place to have conversations, where professionals shared their remote work experiences, tips, and challenges. It connected people across continents like never before. It also seemed to help businesses lose the stuffiness, just like the removal of ties and full-on business suits.
 
 
Thought Leadership Emerges: LinkedIn has also witnessed the emergence of thought leadership. Professionals began using the platform to establish themselves as experts in their fields. It’s not just about job titles; it’s about the valuable insights you bring to the table.
 
 
Building Communities: LinkedIn Groups and communities have gained prominence. These spaces foster discussions, networking, and learning. They’ve become hubs for professionals with shared interests to connect and collaborate.
Looking Ahead: So, what’s next for LinkedIn? As we celebrate 15 years of utilising the network (still don’t know where that time has gone), we can expect the platform to continue evolving. It is never going to stand still. More videos, more community engagement, and more opportunities for professionals to connect and grow.
 
 
LinkedIn isn’t just a platform; it’s a community of like-minded individuals on a professional journey together. Here’s to the next 15 years.
Cheers to LinkedIn!
Creepy Content Marketing: Brewing Engagement and Enchantment

Creepy Content Marketing: Brewing Engagement and Enchantment

by | Oct 18, 2023 | Seasonal Marketing

As the leaves turn golden and a chill fills the air, Halloween creeps closer. It’s a time when the world transforms, becoming a canvas for the eerie, the supernatural, and the fantastical. But what if we told you that content marketing shares a kindred spirit with this bewitched season? Yes, you heard that right! Content marketing is like crafting the perfect spell—brewing engagement and enchantment. So, gather around, my fellow marketers, as we delve into the magical world of creepy content marketing.

The Cauldron of Creativity: Picture content marketing as a bubbling cauldron of creativity. Just like a skilled witch or wizard concocts a potion with the right ingredients, marketers blend words, visuals, and strategy to create content that captivates and enthrals.

Spells of Storytelling: In the world of content marketing, storytelling reigns supreme. Stories are like the enchanting spells that draw readers in, keeping them hooked until the very end. Whether it’s an origin tale of your brand or a customer success story, stories work like magic.

Potion Ingredients: A potion’s power lies in its ingredients. Similarly, the quality of your content hinges on its components. Fresh, insightful, and relatable content is the heart of your spell. Research, keywords, and a sprinkle of creativity are the ingredients you need.

The Crystal Ball of Analytics: Just as witches consult crystal balls for insight, we have analytics tools to predict and measure content performance. These crystal balls reveal what’s working and what needs tweaking. Tracking metrics like engagement, click-through rates, and conversions is essential.

SEO Spells: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is like a potent incantation in content marketing. By sprinkling relevant keywords and optimizing your content, you ensure it’s discoverable by those seeking your wisdom.

Enchanting Visuals: Remember, a spellbook isn’t complete without mesmerizing illustrations. Similarly, compelling visuals, from eye-catching graphics to bewitching videos, add an extra layer of enchantment to your content. Be sure to check out our recent post if you’re struggling with ideas here!

Social Media Cauldron: Social media platforms are the cauldrons where you share your concoctions with the world. Stir the brew by sharing, engaging, and interacting with your audience. The more you stir, the more potent your presence.

Elixir of Engagement: Just as a potion offers healing or transformation, your content should provide value. Inform, educate, entertain, or inspire your audience. When you brew content that enriches lives, engagement follows.

The Spell of Consistency: Consistency is the chant that strengthens your spells. Regularly publishing high-quality content keeps your audience enchanted and coming back for more.

Magic in Mobile: In today’s enchanted forest of the internet, mobile-friendliness is crucial. Your spells (content) must work their magic on mobile devices, ensuring that readers on all screens can access your wisdom. This goes for your website too!

As we wrap up this journey through the mystical world of content marketing, remember that your role, dear marketer, is akin to that of a skilled wizard or witch. You wield words and visuals to cast enchantments upon your audience, leaving them spellbound and eager for more.

So, as you venture forth into the digital wilderness, brew your content with care, infuse it with stories, sprinkle in SEO magic, and stir the cauldron of creativity. The results will be enchanting, drawing your audience closer, and forging bonds that endure.

In the realm of content marketing, there’s always more to discover and new spells to cast. Embrace the magic, and may your content always enchant and captivate. Happy bewitching, fellow content sorcerers! 🎩🔮📜
