Marketing Jam Session
Friday Feb 20, 2009: 12:30 – 5 @ Propeller Media Works

The first session provides the broader context to explain what social marketing is and why it’s relevant. We’ll layout basics and identify the low hanging fruit and best practices to get started. A Social 101 session will be followed by a panel discussion with representatives of Propeller Media Works, Seventh Generation, and Seven Days.

Social WOM & Brand Evangelism Jam Session
April – Date and Location TBD

Oh how we Americans love our brands! We have Pepsi people, Chevy people, Burton people, and the true die-hards will work to convince you to join them. They are brand evangelists and they are your friends. Now with digital social networks, the brand evangelist has the tools to reach networks of hundreds of people with a click of "become a fan" on Facebook. They want to educate and influence their friends, family and colleagues. So how do you get them to do all that hard work for you, and how do you measure performance?

We’ll discuss how to develop brand evangelists and how to give them the tools to spread the good word for you.

Social PR & Reputation Management Jam Session
June – Date and Location TBD

Ok, we've heard "the conversation is already out there" enough. It's cliché now, so lets talk about both the risks and the opportunities related to PR and the reputation of your company. We'll cover the monitoring tools across social channels, and discuss both the preventative tactics you can use to avoid flame throwing wombats, as well as the tactics of putting out the fire they create. We’ll also talk about the roles of employees and customers, and how PR managers can use them most effectively.

The project addresses three phases of engagement and the full cycle of operations for this business. First is the initial lead generation and sales process that involves the website design and search engine optimization to get prospects in the door and through the ecommerce conversion.

Second is the operational support and organizational tools needed to provide such a high level personal service. In that effort, we developed a customer extranet to collect customer information. On the back-end of that extranet we developed a customer relationship management system (CRM) to manage the details and provide custom reports for week and daily logistics.

Lastly, we created a social networking site for customers to share photos, videos, stories, contact info and to keep the memories alive. Through the social community site and email newsletters, VHC maintains its relationship with customers and grows its repeat sales.

This project thus serves as an example where our services impact the end-to-end operations of our partner’s business.

More info regarding Nigel’s love for loudness: In "This is Spinal Tap," he pointed out to director Marty DiBergi that the settings on Tap’s Marshall amps could extend beyond the standard 10 mark. Nigel: "You see, most blokes will be playing at 10. You’re on 10, all the way up, all the way up...Where can you go from there? Nowhere. What we do, is if we need that extra push over the cliff...Eleven. One louder." DiBergi: "Why don’t you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number, and make that a little louder?" Nigel (after taking a moment to let this sink in): "These go to 11." In 1990, Marshall released its JCM900 amp, with the knobs going to 20 (GW2), although Nigel says the company later gave him a special model that goes to infinity (complete with the infinity symbol—an eight on its side—and a dial that keeps spinning around as if it were broken). (EW) The company also makes faceplates for all of its amp models that go to 11. In a 1984 interview, Nigel revealed that his Gibson guitar pickups were modified to go to 11, as well—meaning that with both his amp and guitar turned all the way up, he could hit 22. (GP) A T-shirt that reads "Goes to 11" is now a collector’s item because it sold so poorly immediately after DiBergi’s film was released. Finally, a posting to the Internet group alt.fan.spinal-tap by Ray Abbitt shed some light on the history of powered amps: "Early Fender Champs (a small, low-powered amp, probably intended for practice) had no controls except for a volume control that went to 11. And from about 5 on up, they didn’t get any louder—just more distorted. A number of artists use them for recording and some (including Neil Young) use them for live performances. Most of us who are lucky enough to own one (mine was built in 1953 or 1954) turn them up to 11 cause they sound so damn good." Nigel's now famous phrase have even been recognized by the Oxford English Dictionary.

The new site features a complete refresh of the design and our popular propCMS 2.8 content management system. Since launching, conversions from the “request a quote” form have increased over 50%. With content and features remaining fairly similar to before, the increase is attributed to the increase in trust and credibility associated with the new design.

This year, Propeller’s own site (propellermediaworks.com) won a top Gold award in the highly competitive Self Promotion/Customer Identity category. Propeller’s work for the Stowe Area Association (www.gostowe.com) won a second Gold award in the Consumer Information category.

After celebrating our 10th year anniversary, these rewards serve as icing on the cake. “Being recognized at this level by this group of judges is particularly rewarding” said David Gibson, Founder of Propeller. “We are sharing the stage with international level shops that we’ve long looked up to,” continued Gibson.

With growing international recognition and 10 years of experience designing and building tier-one websites and web-based applications, the Propeller looks to enhance its online marketing program in the next year while continuing to push creative design and deep technical functionality.

As we face a continuously evolving marketing landscape, part of Propeller’s job is to always be passing on what we learn to our customers. Toward that end, we held our second seminar on April 20th, 2007 and invited Dave Winslow, Founder and President of EpikOne, to present. EpikOne is one of a handful of Google certified consultants for Google Analytics and their new multivariate testing tool Google Optimizer.

Clients and regional marketing leaders joined in a discussion that started with the concepts that are currently driving effective i-marketing, and then drilled into measuring performance with Google Analytics and multivariate testing with Google Optimizer.

For those attending, this served as an important chance to get up to speed with current thinking and i-marketing tools, and to join in a comfortable conversation with those who are driving it forward.

If you would like to attend our next seminar (TBD), please email David Gibson at dgibson@propelled.com.

This year we decided to mix business with pleasure. We first held an Interactive Marketing Seminar with our friends at EpikOne (see preceding Buzz post), and then jumped into the party. The business in the front; party in the back idea transcended (declined) into a mullet theme party. The food was amazing (thanks Dish), the wine was quite nice (thanks James), and the company included great friends, members of the crew who have since moved on, clients, and family. A great time. Thanks everyone for a fun night.

Here, our client Synergy Software Technologies, Inc. planned to introduce an online training program and needed a way to allow their customers to select and pay for the courses first. Synergy had already developed the courses using a third party online education system called Adobe Connect, but Adobe lacked the ecommerce component. We took advantage of Adobe’s API (Application Programming Interface), which allows developers like us to hook into the system and develop custom extensions or tie-ins. Using our propEcom system as a base, we are creating a custom tie-in to integrate with the Adobe Connect to provide the online course catalog presentation, the secure transactions, and finally the access seamlessly. On the operational side, we customized our propEcom system to tie in with their Quickbooks accounting software.

Our solution will soon allow Synergy to take advantage of a training solution that will be effective and convenient for their customers, while providing an additional income stream with little overhead costs.

Propeller started at just the right time. The Web was brand new and demand was quickly growing. "10 years ago, sites were either pretty but two dimensional, or ugly with no marketing message. So I tried to fill the gap and blend good design with technical functionality," remembered Gibson. "To deliver the functionality, I soon needed a real programmer." Propeller's first hire was Daniel Hansen. "Dan was great because he was passionate about pushing the technology to deliver more than clients expected," said Gibson. That passion for exceeding expectations became a core value of the company's culture.

The need for a deeper and broader technical foundation led to the merger with Scully Interactive in 2004. "Dave and I knew each other for quite some time," says Russ Scully, now Director of Technology and Partner at Propeller. "We knew that in bringing our teams together, the combination would be much greater than the sum of its parts," said Scully. "Propeller's design has always been strong, but now our technical depth really sets us apart," added Scully. The one size fits all approach is foreign to Propeller. While they do make use of a large library of code and predeveloped systems, each requires extensive customization.

With hundreds of websites under the belt, a crew of 15, and a beautiful workspace; what's next for Propeller? Big for 2007 is expanding their Internet marketing services. "Its very competitive out there, and customers are demanding a higher level of service. They're looking for not only more traffic, but better traffic. We now have those strategies and the tools to measure success. Its turning from art to science, and that is very exciting." said Gibson.

The organization had never had a website before, and looked to us to guide them through the entire process. Soup to nuts. In parallel to this project has been an even larger project for the Rutland Regional Medical Center in Vermont (soon to launch). This in conjunction with our experience with Spaulding Hospital in Boston gave us a head start on many of the communication and technical issues we would face. Running on a Microsoft version of our Content Management System, the site offers their non-technical staff the easy access to maintain their site and expand their communications over time.

By capitalizing on rapidly growing demand for safe non-toxic household products, Seventh Generation is leading the charge. Leading the crusade is Jeffrey Hollander, President & CEO, who through books, speaking engagements, blogs, emails and his website is educating people and catapulting awareness of the dangers out there, and the benefits of his company’s products. Their success puts them at the top of growth companies in Vermont year after year. Our initial marching orders were to just replace the content management system – and not to touch the design of the site. The pre-existing system lacked the flexibility and scalability that ours offered, and the company was doing a poor job on customer service. So with our reputation for solid technology and our burley CMS, Seventh Generation came knocking. They loved our CMS and recognized the value of having a solid partner that had everything. But not touch the design? Come now. How could we not do just a little to make it better? A little here… a little there… Now the site looks and functions much better on the front end, and is worlds apart on the backend. As a fellow Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility member, and “green” company, we’re very proud to have Seventh Generation as a neighbor and a client. Putting our creativity and technology behind this company feels very good, and we look forward to the future with Seventh Generation. visit website]]> Fri, 10 Mar 2006 06:00:00 +0000 David Gibson http://www.propellermediaworks.com/news/?id=53 http://www.propellermediaworks.com/news/?id=53 Verdatum provides law firms and legal departments with a digital dictation system that integrates with an existing document management system. Verdatum came to Propeller in need of a refresh and to gain control of their content. As a cost savings measure, we gave the site a “face lift” – an evolution versus a revolution in the site’s design. In addition to using Flash on the homepage to promote the company’s key brand message, and through the creative process we offered up a new tag line “Transcription Transformed”. They loved it. Other key features of the site include a Customer Support Extranet and integrated our Content Management System (CMS) into the site website.
