Are you ready to create a powerful brand and produce a website that delivers?
Are you a new speaker, author, or entrepreneur? Or perhaps you’ve been in business for a while but want to raise your presence in the market place to the next level. MacGraphics can guide you through the process of branding and marketing your business for the 21st century.
Our highly experienced team of brand experts, graphic designers, copywriters, illustrators, website designers/programmers, and search engine specialists will create a dynamic brand, powerful website, and professional collateral, marketing, and public relations materials to help you meet the goals you’ve set for your business.
We’ve developed a seamless 7-step system that builds on and leverages the
content and decisions you make during each step in the process. This system
is proven to save you time and money versus doing each of these steps separately.
If you require assistance in only one or two areas we would be happy to help
you too. Here are the steps we take:
1. Strategic discussions
First we will hold strategic discussions to clarify objectives and set strategies.
2. Brand development
We will help you clarify your message based on key values and key benefits
of your products and/or services. We’ll help you identify your niche and target
market(s). Then we will distill your values and benefits into a dynamic, powerful
and unique tagline. Finally we will create logo designs and the final logo,
which graphically supports top messaging.
3. Develop business ID package
Also known as a stationery package, these collateral materials will integrate
the new logo and align with the website design. Components include: business
cards, letterhead, and design for #10 envelope.
4. Website creation--strategic direction, key messaging, copywriting
We will provide strategic direction, key messaging, and copywriting for your
website. This will include a launch discussion with you to clarify your website’s
business objectives. We’ll guide you to make key marketing strategies and messaging
that will drive the direction, content, features, and functionality. Then distilled
brand information is produced to ensure the tone of the website copy marries
with the design. Domain name selections take place at this stage too.
5. Website creation--programming, reviewing, testing
Working
as a team, we will create and finalize your website design with your new brand.
We will develop the site, review and test it before going live to ensure accuracy
and functionality. Then we’ll go live and do a final testing to ensure accuracy
on all platforms.
6. Develop printed marketing materials
We will leverage the
copy from your website and your new brand graphics into a speaker/author one
sheet or company brochure.
7. Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Social Networking
We will identify search-engine optimization goals, return on investment targets, and initiate foundational search-engine optimization with meta-tags and images (SEO). We’ll pursue monthly robust search-engine optimization strategies, driven by the your specific goals.
