Audience-First
Digital Marketing Agency
Who are the clients that you desperately need to reach?
With your clients, your customers, your team. You light up when your product, service, or experience actually connects with those it’s designed to help.
It’s not just because you want to be successful. It’s because you genuinely want to make other people’s lives better.
And so, you build your organization’s teams and systems. You refine them until they achieve maximum effectiveness. You live for those days when everything’s working as it should.
But there’s a problem (isn’t there always?).
You feel like your online presence doesn’t reflect the great work you do. Whether or not it looks beautiful, it doesn’t help people transition from “thinking about it” to taking the desired action.
That’s where we come in. At Black Raven, we create:
· Digital experiences
· Designed for your audience
· To meet your business objectives… whatever they may be.
If your digital marketing doesn’t work the way it should, if it doesn’t look beautiful, or if it doesn’t help prospects convert, we can help.
digital marketing?
Most organizations have a difficult time shifting perspectives and seeing themselves the way their audience does.
Step 1: Reveal
When we begin collaborating, we don’t immediately ask, “What do you want to make?” Instead we start by asking:
- Who is your audience?
- Who are you?
- What are your objectives?
The answers to these questions will be our guiding light for everything we create for you, as we connect your objectives to the needs, desires, and expectations of your audience. Sometimes this will completely change what you want, maybe even convince you that you don’t need something from us at all, because in reality your audience doesn’t need it either. We make sure that if you partner with us, everything we build together will be to meet a communication need for your vital audience.
Step 2: Create
Once we know who you’re trying to reach, who you are, and how best to reach them, we go to work. Everything we make for your company is custom-tailored for your audience on your behalf to meet your business objectives. We will work with you to make sure it meets your high standards of quality and our high standards of technical excellence so that your deliverable looks (and works) real good.
Step 3: Deploy
Whatever we create, we see through to completion and deliver on time. Black Raven AFC will stick by your side, providing support, counsel, and service that ensures you show up in front of your audience and make an impact.
Step 4: Optimize
As data nerds and continuous improvement geeks we can’t help but use all available information after deployment to make your deliverable even better. We’ll analyze, strategize, and implement as much as you will let us to keep improving your connection to your vital audience.
