Competitive Thought Leadership
There’s no better way of showing clients and prospects the agency’s expertise than to demonstrate it day in and day out. Everybody talks the talk but few walk the walk. The monthly competitive report on a category is also a chance to showcase the creative spirit of the agency. These type of competitive reports also allow the agency to talk to the entire client organization, showcasing knowledge of their business, the vertical and in time makes your audience “subscribers” of the report (with requests for additional copies, clients leaving for other companies requesting to be kept on the mailing list) and “providers” of a constant flow of emails/calls with sources and leads.

YEAR ROUND SUPPORT
Break from traditional media plan formats, tailoring message to client needs. In order to launch the one-hour processing service against e$tabli$hed competitors, created a year round holiday campaign in print and radio that focused on photo opportunities during the specific holiday.

LOTO Multi-Tier Communication Strategy
When the same television programs rank at the top of all demographic demo groups and the need to generate high-impact media plans is a primary goal, segmentation plays a key role in developing the creative message and the media strategy. Identifying the needs of different demo groups and the reason why they need to win allowed the client to re-educate audiences as to the benefits and winning probabilities of each game and increased the game penetration in specific demographics.

Complex message platforms require an understanding of the decision process for acquisitions and the customer life cycle process for retention of the relationship and up-selling/upgrading of plans and equipment.

One way to differentiate a brand that leads in a generic environment is to add a proprietary communication component to the campaign.

Puerto Rico Tourism Transactional Online Website
Online marketing efforts for Puerto Rico Tourism fell short at times, since online wholesalers catered only to a selected group of hotel properties, leaving more than half the endorsed hotels under-serviced by the likes of Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz and others.

Mobil 1 Consumer Experience
Taking the Mobil 1 story to the masses, from trade shows to Nascar races to big-time client events was the goal.
