How Context Improves the Effectiveness of Your Creative

How context improves the effectiveness of your creative.

In this part of our sales funnel series, we’re addressing the influence creative has on your advertising…and the influence the context has over your creative. The creative process is vastly different for each platform you’re using.

secret sauce to every sales funnel

Why the custom audience is the secret sauce to every sales funnel.

I’m going to address one of the most important elements of social media advertising: creating audiences.

The Vibe Attracts The Tribe

Your vibe attracts your tribe.

An essential part of what an organization represents is found within the culture it perpetuates. In fact, I would argue this is the most important part of running a business. It’s part of discovering your identity as a company and it will define the working experience. Creating consistent quality work and meeting deadlines is crucial to a company’s image and survival, but it’s all meaningless if you can’t keep your business from imploding.
