more.

7. …photojournalism-style
photography…
PHOTOGRAPHY
Our photojournalists view events and
interactions between people with a
trained eye — capturing life, work and
community and relationships as they
happen, rather than posing people for
portraits.
Sample: Event Photography—A City of Inclusion,
featuring Mayor Joe Hogsett

8. SOCIAL MEDIA
Today, it’s social media. Tomorrow,
who knows? Blogs, websites and
social channels are extremely
important. Our communications-
based (not technology-based) skills
will translate to whatever media come
tomorrow.
…and trending media…

12. WHY IS COMMUNICATIONS
IMPORTANT FOR
YOUR BUSINESS TODAY?

13. TOO MANY MEDIA = NOT ENOUGH EXPOSURE
HOW DO YOU REACH YOUR AUDIENCES
IN THIS WORLD OF MASS INFORMATION?
‣ Too many media, not enough impact.
‣ We’re getting smarter. We tune out
advertisements subconsciously.
‣ Many media have eliminated ads
altogether (satellite radio, Neflix, etc.)
‣ Facebook is increasingly requiring
businesses to purchase ads to be seen
— but it can’t load as many as it sells.

14. THE ANSWER: CREATE GREAT CONTENT
HOW CONTENT WILL EXPAND YOUR REACH
▸ Create useful content (tips, checklists, how-
tos, etc.)
▸ Reader likes it. Shares it on social media.
▸ New reader visits your blog to read article.
Finds other content he/she likes. Shares it.
▸ New reader becomes increasingly familiar
with your brand.
▸ Reader contacts you for services/products.
New business!
▸ Cycle repeats.

15. WHY CONTENT MARKETING WORKS
CONTENT + COMMUNICATIONS
▸ Desired information
▸ Earned attention
▸ Inviting
▸ Impression: Audience respect,
confidence in your business
▸ Positive effects: Long-term
ADVERTISING
▸ Forced information
▸ Paid attention
▸ Interruptive
▸ Impression: Irritated,
skeptical audience
▸ Positive effects: Short-term

16. ▸ You OWN what you share. (Content)
▸ You control the length and topic.
▸ You can change, improve, share and manage frequently.
▸ You develop a reputation as a great source.
▸ People come back for more = People likely to buy
▸ Content can be found forever.
▸ Advertising is temporary and expensive.
▸ Content combined with communication will have long-term effect.
GREAT CONTENT + COMMUNICATION
IS BETTER THAN ADVERTISING IN THE LONG RUN

17. DEVELOPING CONTENT SHOULD
CONSUME MUCH OF YOUR
COMMUNICATIONS EFFORTS.
RULE OF THUMB:
DON’T ADVERTISE. INFORM.

18. GOOD NEWS.
WE CAN DO THAT FOR YOU!
