As digital marketing, big data, and social media continue to evolve and scale key areas of communications – thought leadership, personal branding, key messaging and buyer persona development – are becoming even more important to successful digital activations. As brands seek to get in front of audiences large and small, digital and traditional, your company needs a partner like ILS that can integrate the distribution of your marketing, communications, and content in any channel and cut through the noise for effective amplification, even in niche markets.
Gaining personal or company visibility amidst the noise of 24-hour news cycles, social media posts and competitors who are consistently championed as “experts” in your field, becomes tougher by the day. The near-death of traditional print publications (newspapers and magazines), the emergence of pay-to-play blog journalism and the consistent clamor of personal branding that screams “look at me/us” instead of “look at what we can do for you” – can make your brand invisible and lost in a publicity vortex making it difficult at best to stand out.
