Marketing is a journey with specific milestones and destinations. We begin by defining the goals, identifying the obstacles, and looking for the most opportunistic route. Once we are clear on these, we leverage our strategic and creative thinking with specific tactics to ensure we are taking the best approach. Our long history of product launches gives us an advantage when it comes to understanding the best way to go to market.
Advertising and design play crucial roles in a comprehensive marketing plan. First, it’s often necessary to create outgoing messaging that gets attention, engages with prospective customers, and presents a compelling story that persuades prospects to act. We use advertising, both traditional and digital, to send prospects to a website, visit a physical location, specify a product, make a purchase or sign up for more information.
It’s a digital world today more than it has ever been. Fewer sales are face-to-face, whether selling to consumers or in a B2B marketplace. Crobar is an experienced digital launch agency, specializing in brand and product launches, creating online promotions, and implementing digital sales tools. Our extensive marketing background combined with the latest digital technology is the ideal recipe for success.
We believe in the power of a comprehensive, data-driven approach to digital strategy. Our team is dedicated to connecting your brand’s story across all digital platforms, ensuring a seamless user experience that resonates with your audience. Detailed analytics deep dives allow us to interpret patterns that drive our content strategy, including paid media and on-site social media management.
Developing and maintaining an engaging social media presence is an incredible marketing opportunity. You can engage with customers daily. Crobar offers a full suite of services, whether you are starting from scratch or simply need to improve your strategy and messaging. Whether it’s boosting posts or community engagement, we are social animals.
Photography and video production are essential to marketing efforts. Crobar has in-house production capabilities that would’ve been unheard of just a decade ago. Our ability to manage the entirety of photography and video production (from scripts to final edits) will save you time and money. Our ultimate goal is to deliver outstanding creative work that is perfectly synced with your brand.
Much like Strategy & Branding, we apply the same principles to our Licensee Branding category. We place special care in maintaining an already-established corporate identity while fusing it with our tactical, authentic marketing approach. The result is a beautiful and effective marketing plan.
Each client requires a strategic and tailored approach. We identify and purchase ad space on channels that are relevant to the target audience at the optimal time, for the least amount of money. This includes purchasing ad space and time on digital and offline platforms such as websites, YouTube, radio, and TV. We are also responsible for negotiating with publishers for ad inventory, managing budgets, and optimizing ads to improve campaign performance.
