And the list grows every day. It may seem like we’ve got a lot going on, but we know marketing your company isn’t the same as marketing anyone else’s. That’s why we don’t limit ourselves to any set of rules, services or responsibilities. Whatever it takes, we do it.
Social Media
Whether we manage all of your accounts entirely, work as your partner to guide and build content or put you through our “Social Media School” so you can learn for yourself, your public relations efforts will see a dramatic change.
Strategic social media gives your company the opportunity to extend its brand – directly to the consumer. Carefully planned Twitter and Facebook campaigns shift your company from a brick and mortar, corporate and intangible stranger to an accessible, relatable and trustworthy neighbor. By forming relationships, sharing stories and advice and showing off the personality that makes your company unique, you’ll realize just how powerful those little tweets and tags can be.
Luckily, we know how to harness this powerful tool for engaging, conversing and exchanging ideas on your behalf. We create an experience for your followers, a continuation of your company’s philosophy filled with quality content. We help you help others, building loyalty, confidence and strong relationships. We increase awareness, challenge and answer questions, grow your connections and monitor every word about your brand on the World Wide Web. We’re your 24/7 customer service/tech support/cheerleaders/comic relief/news feed/etc.
Branding
You know the golden arches of McDonald’s? The Nike swoosh? The Prudential rock?
It’s the ooey gooey, touchy-feely stuff that makes a company memorable in a market. That is, it’s the brand. At Black Sheep, we know all about creating this oh-so-important look and feel, and with our collection of top-notch designers and strategists, there’s no doubt you’ll leave with the perfect identity.
But with us, there’s more to it than designing your letterhead, logo and a company brochure. We explore your brand in multiple mediums – through printed collateral, social media, in viral videos, on t-shirts, at events and in the press – to give you a cohesive representation that speaks to your business’ stellar qualities.
Experiential Marketing
Flash mobs? Check. Protests? Check. Demonstrations involving livestock, costumes and kazoos? You bet!
We have cornered the market on a new wave in publicity that we like to call “experiential marketing.” Experiential marketing can manifest itself in many different ways (some we haven’t even thought of yet). From reverse protests to interactive games and pop-up theatrics, we prove day in and day out that advertising is more than just billboards and magazine placements – it’s real life.
And the result? People talk. They tell the story of what they saw, they e-mail their moms, their spouses, their friends and their coworkers, and they post videos and pictures online. This organic conversation creates an authentic experience for your consumers, breaks down barriers, stimulates real engagement and sparks viral word-of-mouth campaigns led by your customer.
Publicity
Public relations used to be a fairly formulaic process consisting of press releases and cold calls. But that was then…
This is now. Black Sheep is at the forefront of PR 2.0, incorporating print articles, television appearances, event exposure and social media to maximize publicity to ensure your brand – and more importantly – your company message is everywhere.
The public perception of a company is no longer formed solely on what is written in the local paper, and because new modes of communication pop up every day, your company’s reputation can be a lot more complicated to manage. You can’t ignore your consumers and information about your brand is everywhere, so remaining transparent is essential. Working with journalists, bloggers and monitoring online opinions and concerns, Black Sheep keeps your messages on target and your brand top-of-mind while garnering the right kind of press for your success.
Events
At Black Sheep, events are more than just parties – not that we don’t love those! – and planning them involves more than selecting a caterer.
Strategic event preparation requires expert communication with the press, a strong social media presence and a clever performance to build hype, not to mention impeccable attention to detail. And at the end of the day (or night), your guests’
experiences are more than just the icing on the cake – they create stories, intensify viral campaigns, strengthen brands and deliver results. And that’s something to celebrate.
