Campaign Creativity<\/strong> <\/span><br \/>\nThe most effective campaigns are often down to the creative process. Ideas can come from anywhere and anyone. Once an idea is there it\u2019s just a matter of strategically managing it. Using creativity to build brand stories and memorable content is a key way to entice your customers.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>2. Campaign Strategy<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIt\u2019s vital to have a clear outline of how a creative idea can be brought to life \u2013 whether it\u2019s the development of a new product or a seasonal celebration. You should always start with a timeline of asset creation, media communication and which platforms you need.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">3. In-house &amp; Freelance Team Assets Creation<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nDecide which assets will be required from an exciting video and imagery to infographics and promotional material. Consider cross-platform social media material, signing up influencers and managing data capture with tracking links.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">4. Improving Web Ranking: AdWords &amp; PPC<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nIf the creative campaign focuses on a new package, there are often opportunities to get a competitive advantage by reviewing low performing or non-existent AdWords. Look at how your organisation can boost its web ranking by creating new search engine terms.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>5. Press Office, Contacts &amp; Media Trip Programme<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nWhether you\u2019re planning a short campaign or a 12 to 24 month promotion, communicating the right messages to gain the media\u2019s attention is key. Make sure you\u2019ve planned your media lists, media assets and a campaign timeline. If you\u2019re doing a product launch or exclusive event, make sure you get the media to the right place at the right time, considering when you want the publicity to appear.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>6. Social Media Campaign &amp; Owned Online Content<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nFind stories around your campaign that aren\u2019t necessarily commercially oriented but do create a story that benefits the reader. From your owned content, you can implement a strong tone of voice on social media, engage with influencers and promote campaign messages. Pre-plan your budgets for targeted posts, core target audiences and geo locations.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>7. Sales &amp; Results<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nMeasure Google Analytics, monitor online engagement and tweak content as you go to maximise brand reach and monitor the scale of publicity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AM+A can be found sharing PR and marketing tips on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/alexandra-marr-&amp;-associates-marketing-and-media-relations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmarrAssoc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/amarrassoc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Ready to make an award-winning campaign? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/pr-software\/media-database\/?clid=Blog#get-pricing\">Find out how Vuelio can help<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AM+A\u2019s Frank Marr reveals seven tips for creating an award-winning campaign, from developing a cross channel strategy to improving your web ranking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":423,"featured_media":119085,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7365,7272,1109,7238],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119084"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/423"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119084"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":119090,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119084\/revisions\/119090"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
