Live Webinar: Taming the Financial Content BeastLinkedIn
In response, financial brands have ramped up their investment in content marketing. However, many are still struggling to define how much content they should produce, in what formats and through which channels to activate it.
In attempting to ‘tame the content beast’, the solution is perhaps to anchor content back in the context of the customer journey. This process starts by mapping these journeys from awareness, through consideration and nurture to purchase – and beyond. These journey maps should then inform the choice of content format and activation channel, depending on the customer’s needs at each stage. This holistic view should also provide a more meaningful benchmark to assess Return on Investment.

money on marketing the event. It’s a turn-key way to position
your brand in front of the audience attending the event.
2. Events are great for lead capture
Having a physical presence at events and using contests
and giveaways as engagement tactics can generate
new customer leads for remarketing to in the future.
3. Enjoy the brand affinity sponsorships
and sponsored events offer
Your brand has the ability to be seen alongside
other content that people attending an event value.
This connection results in a lift of brand affinity
and positions your brand as a leader to that
audience segment.
4. Give people the
chance to try your brand
Events allow you the ability to be creative
in your marketing and event activation.
Handing out free trials, products and other
services your brand offers engages your
audience in a new way and can lead to new
customers and free publicity, even after the event.
5. Sponsorships and sponsored
events can deliver a higher ROI
Your brand has the ability to achieve
high-impact visibility and engagement to
a targeted, more-qualified audience in a short
amount of time. By being more focused in your
marketing, while being relevant and engaging
with your audience, you have the ability to
significantly optimize your return on investment.
FIVE REASONS why special events build brand loyalty,
engaging a targeted, more-qualified audience.

Why advertise on
these channels:
Incorporating a mobile campaign will provide you with a cohesive
and robust program to reach local consumers during various times
of day and on their preferred electronic device.
Rising smartphone adoption, fast-expanding 4G networks,
along with more time spent on mobile devices is driving the explosive
growth of mobile ad spending. Additionally, companies like Google,
Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft are devoting more attention to mobile
media, mobile devices, and therefore, mobile advertising.
Mobile is an excellent complement to any desktop campaign.
While at work, most website users utilize their desktop to browse
the web. In the evenings, we see a decline in desktop but an
increase in tablet and smartphone activity.
We also see consumers often multi-tasking with simultaneous
usage of different devices. With this in mind, our mobile offerings
continue to grow and diversify.

DIGITAL DISPLAY
Premium Display Advertising
Digital display advertising helps your marketing messages get
in front of the right audience.
1. Targeted
Use demographic, behavioral and contextual targeting
to reach different audience segments important to your
business across the web and on all platforms. Reduce
wasted impressions with a targeted digital approach.
2. Personalized Messaging
Tailor your message to resonate with each
audience segment and test different variations to see
what performs best. Adding in retargeting allows you to
serve a follow-up message to your audience based on
their previous behavior on your site or landing page. This
personalized approach helps raise conversion rates.
3. Interactive/Engaging
Digital display allows for video and rich-media elements, such
as animation and user-controlled interaction. It creates an
engaging platform that is on par with television, but also lets
the user continue the engagement instantly on your landing
page or website. Engagement builds branding and leads the
user down the consumer journey path.
4. Trackable
All campaigns come with reporting that measures multiple
key performance indicators such as click-through rates,
engagement rates and conversion rates. With the proper
analytics set-up, we can measure your return on investment with
each campaign.

L
ook at the list of winners at re-
cent coffee trade show com-
petitions. Coffee-centric cit-
ies like Chicago and Portland,
of course, are represented.
But in the past few years, a
new city has started to make its place
known among the ranks: Louisville.
In the past year alone, Sunergos Cof-
fee was recognized for having America’s
Best Espresso, a local barista placed sec-
ond in a latte art championship andQuills
Coffee took home the regional title for
America’s Best Coffeehouse, with Vint
placing third in the same competition.
The city’s efforts have caught the at-
tention of people across the specialty cof-
feeindustry,fromwell-knownroastersto
bottom-level baristas. But in a foodie
town where bourbon distilleries and tal-
ented chefs reign supreme, coffeehouse
owners have questioned where they fit in
at the local level.
“We’ve not nearly arrived yet,” said
Matthew Huested, co-owner of Sunergos
Coffee. “I would love for Louisvillians to
make a conscious decision to buy Louis-
ville coffee. With that kind of economic
backing, there’s no limit to what we can
do with coffee in Louisville. At the same
time, there’s a wonderful movement
“We’ve not nearly arrived yet,” said
Matthew Huested, co-owner of Sunergos
Coffee. “I would love for Louisvillians to
make a conscious decision to buy Louis-
ville coffee. With that kind of economic
backing, there’s no limit to what we can
do with coffee in Louisville. At the same
time, there’s a wonderful movement hap-
pening. We’ve not yet become a city that’s
associated with coffee as we are with
horse racing or baseball bats or bourbon.
But we can be.”
Specialty coffee has been in Louisville
since at least 1962, when John Conti
opened a gourmet coffee company that
now roasts more than 1.5 million pounds
of coffee annually, according to its web-
site. However, the coffee movement
didn’t make significant strides until the
‘90s, when Heine Brothers’ Coffee, the
Highland Coffee Company, Safai Coffee
and Day’s Espresso & Coffee started
shops that laid the groundwork for doz-
ens of coffeehouses that have opened
since.
Back then, Starbucks was not yet in
Louisville, but it was quickly gaining
ground in cities that had already devel-
oped local coffee scenes, such as Chicago
andLosAngeles--whereGregandNancy
Hofer lived at the time.
Several of Greg Hofer’s cousins in Los
Angles owned successful coffee shops,
and when the couple moved to Louisville
in 1995, they knew the coffee movement
would eventually make its way inward.
Though Heine Brothers’ and Safai had
opened shops the year before, the Hofers
thought the scene could only continue to
grow. In 1999, they opened their shop,
Highlands Coffee Company, on Bard-
stown Road.
“Wefeltlikeweweregettingajumpon
it,” Nancy Hofer said. “L.A. was like the
crystal ball of what we thought was pos-
sible here. But the better difference in
Louisville is really that sense of commu-
nity and people connecting with each oth-
er. Bigger cities might be ahead on some
things, but they never have that warmth.
I think Louisville is the perfect combina-
tion of big city conveniences and small
town charm.”
Since the sudden spurt of the ‘90s, the
local coffee scene has continued to grow
steadily with a dozen companies opening
morethan30coffeehousesandroasteries
citywide. The movement has reached
passed the Highlands into other neigh-
borhoods — including Jeffersontown,
Portland and Fairdale — and has even
stretched across the river with Quills and
Heine Brothers’ launching stores in
Southern Indiana.
