WHO WE ARE ?Project To The Next LevelEXPERIENCE THE PARADIGM SHIFT TO MARKETING

We are a new kind of marketing agency that integrates the two sides of the brain: strategic communications and business know-how.

TheThe term ‘paradigm shift’ denotes a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions. That’s how our agency started, by identifying the wide gap between the agency world and businesses at large. We believed that for a marketing direction to be successful, it must be built on firm foundations of business understanding and knowledge. These became the core of our decision-making process. Our name ‘Paradigm Next’ was to signify this shift of taking marketing to the next level.

FastFast forward 7 years and we continue to integrate the two sides of the brain, strategic communications and business know-how. Connecting creativity with expertise in multiple industries, we are able to deliver measurable improvements and maximum impact.

OUR WORK IN DETAIL

OBJECTIVECambridge Lending GCambridge Lending Group is a Chicagoland-based mortgage brokerage specializing in loans for unique situations. Operating in a heavily saturated market, CLG realized that their curealized that their current referral-based business was impeding their growth, and wanted to open new opportunities through boosting their visibility and validating their expertise.

SCOPEFollowing an extensive market evaluation, ParadigmNEXT developed a holistic marketing strategy that encompassed content strategy, branding, responsive website design, as well as sales, marketing, and operations consulting.

TTo refine brand identity, ParadigmNEXT re-calibrated the client’s brand message and value proposition so that it reflected the company’s established expertise. This included a full content rewrite to not only drive qualified traffic but also give an accurate and appealing depiction of the brand to prospective employees and referral partners. New logo design, marketing collateral, business cards amplified the new identity. After identifying viable local markets for success, brand awareness events were introduced to expose CLG in the local community. To capitalize on the above, social media netnetworking sites and local review directories were set up to further boost their online visibility and showcase capabilities.

Prior to collaborating with ParadigmNEXT, CLG’s digital presence centered on a highly generic website with no branded content, nor CTA-driven sales funnel. The former made their website impossible to be found through organic search, the latter stalled the conversion of prospects. To adress that, ParadigmNEXT executed a modern engaging and informative website that was fully integrated with the client’s CRM to help the team to manage relationships with their customers, contacts, and partners. Website revamp focused on UI/UX integration for improved navigation. To amplify user experience, interactive calculators were added to engage the visitors and provide them with an immediate service and tangible datatangible data.

To expedite performance and scalability, ParadigmNEXT also developed a comprehensive plan of strategic and operational improvements which included introducing cloud computing and automated CRM-driven content marketing; and optimized and streamlined all processes, from document collection to employee and client onboarding. As a result, operating costs were reduced by 20% within the first 90 days.

Marketing and brand strategy reenergized the client’s brand, validating their expertise and boosting their visibility and relevance among potential customers, employees and referral partners. Since partnering with ParadigmNEXT, CLG benefitted from an impressive growth of its organic audience, including a 417% increase in social media reach, a 1,014% increase of social media engagement, and a 3,000% increase in total pageviews.
