About Us

Our primary focus might be social media, but we understand that social media and the internet are becoming more and more intertwined. If you're going to use one, you have to know how to use the other. That's why we think getting our clients online isn't just about Facebook and Twitter (even though that's a big part of it); it's about the whole enchilada.

We create the vehicles for sharing (videos, content, websites, mobile apps, etc.), the social platforms that share them ( Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.), and the strategy for each business to use all of these tools to their fullest.

When we start with a client, we do a full diagnostic of the company, product(s), and industry to determine the best strategy for them. This diagnostic includes a detailed explanation on what, why, and how their business can and should use social media to further their business objectives. Once we know where you are now, we can figure out how to get you to where you want to be. Have a complicated product? A video explanation might be recommended. Have an outdated website? We will create a new one for you. Need to improve visibility on search engines? Our SEO fulfillment is some of the best in the business.

Whatever the need is, we have the solution and we work on our client's behalf to keep the costs down and the product quality at its best.

Our Work

Featured Design & Development

Our client HARD Beverages needed a way to feature the DJ's within its network through Facebook. We needed to create a tab that was well branded and properly represented the company. Of equal importance was the necessity to increase on Facebook engagement and encourage users to share with their networks thus increasing viral reach.

HARD DJ's Tab - small
HARD DJ's Tab - large

The client already had a list of DJ's and felt strongly that they wanted to present them in a creative way. We recommended a profile image, bio, and a showcased song for each artist. We used Soundcloud to allow the user to listen to some of the music that a DJ has made, which gave each "featured DJ" some real content. We then included the ability to view more songs, and links to the DJ's Facebook and Twitter pages for good measure.

We knew that if users were going to share this tab on Facebook or Twitter, they would most likely be sharing a specific DJ, and not the entire tab. This meant that when a user shared the link to the tab, it had to tell Facebook which DJ should be featured. With this in place, if a user shared a specific DJ, then a second user should be taken to the same DJ that was originally shared. This helped make the tab more "viral", and less confusing for anyone who clicked on a shared link. With the design and functionality done, there was just one more thing to do: FanGate it!

A FanGate is a function that separates users that have already liked the Facebook Page that the tab is on, and those who haven't (ie; fans and non-fans). Knowing this allows us to force users to "like" the OfficiallyHARD Facebook Page (if they haven't already) before being able to use the tab. This increases the share-ability of the Facebook Page as a whole and leads to increased engagement across the board.

Not only was this a great project to work on with some unique challenges, it also gave us a framework of some new and different things you can do with Facebook tabs. With the basic idea of giving the user a choice of "featured" information. you could make all kinds of tabs; including staff bios, product descriptions, store-locations maps and directions, and much more!

Yahoo Takes Tumblr

So the rumors starting swirling around last Friday that Marissa Mayer and Team Yahoo had their sights set on acquiring Tumblr. The move reportedly valued at $1.1 Billion is definitely a mega deal, and it is a tactic for Yahoo to go very strong at the Social Media space. This (or something like it) is a move they desperately need to make, to really

SEO More Important Than Ever?

A lot of my clients assume that Social Media (or at least the use of social networking sites) has somehow replaced the need for having an SEO program for their website. That couldn’t be further from the truth!  In fact messaging on Social Media sites has become one of the mission critical components to a successful SEO plan. It is definitely not an either or type

Personal Brand Websites

On the web it is really important to control the message about yourself as a personal brand.  Granted there are a number of great Social Networks that individuals like myself use all day long to get the word out about who they are and what they represent.  The problem is, either each one only covers a small piece, some people don’t use certain networks and/OR people
