Do you dedicate time to work on your agency's marketing? Would you hire a dedicated team to handle your agency's short-term and long-term marketing strategy? Today's guest talks about two common mistakes that sabotage your pipeline and how he built a dedicated marketing team for his agency. Jeff Gapinski is the founder and president of Huemor, a web design agency that focuses on building memorable website experiences. They focus on helping their clients vastly improve your key metrics, and display your brand with pride. After eleven years in this business, Jeff says the biggest change came with building a sustainable pipeline by focusing on his agency's marketing. In this episode, we'll discuss: Building your agency team around your needs. 2 mistakes to avoid in building a sustainable pipeline. Long-term and short-term strategies for marketing your agency. Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design and development agency that has provided white label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Stitcher | Radio FM Building Your Agency Team Around Your Needs Jeff had been freelancing since college when he got a referral for a very good opportunity for e-commerce. Ecommerce was quite new and, although he was a talented designer, he knew he would need help. He put together a team to tackle this challenge and the client was pleased with the results. It was a natural progression from there to forming an actual agency. After finding a cofounder for his agency adventure, Jeff went on to hire several former classmates for key roles. He admittedly built the team around the needs of their original client but quickly figured out this was not sustainable in the long term. Subsequently, the agency went through a couple of iterations as they shaped the team to what it needed to be. For the first few years, he was the sole project manager, which he acknowledges lasted too long. It wasn't until year three they finally hired a dedicated project manager. By contrast, the agency now has six project managers and a director of projects. Things now run much more smoothly. 2 Mistakes that Sabotage Your Agency Sales Pipeline When it comes to building a sustainable pipeline, Jeff believes agency owners make two common mistakes: Falling back on their network. Many fall into the trap of using their immediate network to get business. This usually consists of contacts from past jobs and referrals from existing clients. Ultimately it is a very limited pool. Not marketing the agency. Agencies seldom spend time working on their own brand identity. In fact, they tend to end up with a very generic site and generic marketing you can theoretically stamp any logo on. Work on Your Branding to Differentiate Your Agency Always keep in mind brand identity is paramount for an agency. It is the foundation you build on to get business. However, many agencies use their website primarily to show their clients' work and hence their identities become their clients. Of course, you don't want this because clients will likely change over time. With this in mind, Jeff and his team set out to create a very distinct visual identity. They created a mascot featured on their website which sets them apart from other agencies. They tied their website and mascot to the concept of space, which relates to the idea of breaking boundaries and going to places unknown. These elements tie their brand identity together. According to Jeff, it has been a huge differentiator for the agency and they have gotten positive feedback from prospects and clients. Short and Long-Term Strategies to Build a Sustainable Pipeline You should be thinking about your strategy in terms of long-term and short-term moves. Companies, in general, make the mistake of trying to do all the strategies at once. With this method, nothing really gains traction. A long-term strategy should include any sort of owned media as a cornerstone of your brand. This will take six months or even longer to gain traction. This includes podcast, SEO, and content marketing. Of course, you also need a short-term strategy to bring in results while you set your long-term strategy into motion. This includes things like paid ads, cold LinkedIn outreach, paid social, etc. Both are essential because one is sustainable and built for the long term while the other secures opportunities immediately. For their long-term strategies, Jeff's team writes long-form content targeted at marketing managers, produces long-form articles once a week, and then adapts those for email distribution and posts on LinkedIn and other social channels. They also plan to eventually start a podcast.  4 Key Hires to Build Your Dedicated Marketing Team It's normal to get distracted by client work and as the agency grows you may find there is less downtime to dedicate to agency marketing. You maybe won't have the means to hire a dedicated team from the very beginning, but it's a worthwhile investment. Jeff attributes the agency's exponential growth over the last two years to hiring a dedicated marketing team comprised of: Marketing Coordinator Copywriter Designer SEO Specialist It was a big investment to make, and you can rely on freelancers at first. However, Jeff says it wasn't until they made the decision to invest in a dedicated marketing team that he started to see the results. Don't procrastinate working on your own brand as an agency. It's an element that will help you succeed. You may not see the results in the short term but it will build up to be a very valuable investment. Want the Support of Amazing Digital Agency Owners?

If I asked you…1.) What are you distinctly known for in your industry…Or…2.) Who are you exclusively known as in your industry?Would you be able to answer that in a way that's not vague or massively applicable?In a way that is undeniably potent & unique to you?Let's break this down real quick:The core of Your Branding is not about visual aesthetic or a name or a niche,and,Marketing isn't about “educating” people or constantly “giving value.”In a world & internet full of pop up entrepreneurs, coaches, and gurus… social media has easily become a land where anyone can write a caption or go live about topics that help other people get what they want…However,Becoming a distinguished & divinely impactful face in a way that creates a long term legacy, financial expansion, and a BRAND—a name to know—a super magnetic force, not just a launch-to-launch business, is the part that many people miss.Here is some AM tea  Creating a BRAND that sustains & expands your BUSINESS looks like:Being an obvious embodiment of your teachings, not talking shit about how to do it all day...and expressing THROUGH the realm of desire that the work you do CREATES & MANIFESTS.....through a channel that clearly illuminates the power of the work you do (your content).....in a way that people can SEE themselves being, doing, and having the results your work creates & manifests... too.Branding is an energy that can be felt & remembered, Marketing is the way you embody the lifestyle you're selling — that's why I believe heavily in authenticity, self sorcery, top shelf positioning, and pure soul expression as marketing tools.Not copying & pasting verbiage or following other people's blueprint of creation.SHOW ME BETTER THAN YOU CAN TELL ME, B****.It's an art.This goes for any industry and any line of work you do.If you'd like to inquire about joining Falyn's 30-day VIBRATIONAL WORD MAPPING X HIGH FREQUENCY BRANDING CODES, DM me on Instagram @falynsatterfieldCourses, other resources: https://www.spiritualbadbitch.com/begin/Join The Spiritual Boss Bitch Secret Society: https://www.spiritualbadbitch.com/membership/Follow me on all the things

Inclusivity in Your Branding & Market with Carla Jean Lauter Find Carla: Website: thebeerbabe.com // Twitter: @beerbabe Beer doesn’t see race, gender, sexual orientation or class. When it comes to branding and marketing, why not take an extra effort to make sure you are being inclusive and reaching a larger audience in a positive way. Inclusivity doesn’t stop at how your customer perceives your packaging and visual branding, but it also is the environment in your brewery and your employee culture. Customers are seeking genuine and authentic brands that represent real and positive values. They want to connect with and believe in the the breweries they visit and the beer they drink. Women are an increasing market to craft beer consumption, but also are taking more roles in the beer industry. Craft beer took an opportunity to move away from the sex sells marketing and branding strategies of the older big beer brands and provide products that are unique and can stand out based on quality of the liquid. We’re going to cover how inclusivity can benefit not only your brand, but the craft beer industry as a whole. With so many breweries opening their doors, it’s important that we’re looking forward and trying to reach and connect with larger audiences and communities. Carla Jean Lauter has been passionate about this topic and has been very active online, engaging other breweries and fans. Carla joins us today to talk inclusivity in the beer market, on this episode of Branding Brews.

Article: 11 Things Millennial Musicians Just Don't Get  https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2017/07/27/millennial-musicians/ By Ari Herstand, author of How To Make It in the New Music Business, a Los Angeles based musician and the creator of the music biz advice blog Ari's Take. Follow him on twitter @aristake In this episode Blasko and Mike Mowery discuss tips and strategies for how to succeed in 2018 as they dive into the following points made by Ari Herstand's article “11 Things Millennial Musicians Just Don't Get” and learn how to come out on top in the new year. 1) Spotify Plays Don't Equal Fans I can't tell you how many artists I see on Spotify with hundreds of thousands or millions of streams, but can't get even 100 out to their local (or any) shows. Or get anyone to back their crowdfunding campaign. Or support them in any way whatsoever. These listeners are not fans of the artists, they are fans of the playlist these songs got included on.   2) Your Branding and Story Is More Important Than Your Music People judge you based on your aesthetic, story and image long before they hit play on one of your songs – if they even make it that far. Your branding (which includes your image, your story (!!), and really your overall aesthetic) are what non-musicians (bloggers) talk about. They ain't talking about your drum tones, syncopated rhythms, plugins or mix techniques. 3) Your Follower Numbers Don't Matter As Much As Your Real Life Numbers Don't tell me how many followers you have. All I care about are how many fans you have who are willing to support your career.   4) You Don't Have to Follow Musical Trends to Make it Don't make music you think people want to hear. Make music that is meaningful to you. You can find your audience. Or rather, the audience will find you if you market it properly.   5) The Goal Is Not To Get Signed The Goal Is To Make a Living Doing What You Love If your goal is to get signed, then you're going to miss. If after building your career on your own to a level where labels are begging to work with you, then, and only then, should you decide if it's the best move for you.   6) If All Your Eggs Are in Instagram You're Doomed Yes, Instagram is the hottest social app out right now. At one point the only online presence that mattered for musicians was Myspace. Those that didn't grab their fans and transfer them to a database they owned (i.e. email list) lost contact with all their fans when Myspace died. Don't ignore the social sites where your fans exist, but also have a way to keep in touch with them that isn't dependent on the whims of the latest hot social app. Email any questions or comments to askblasko@gmail.com Find Blasko on Twitter and Instagram: @blasko1313 Find Mike Mowery on Twitter and Instagram: @mikeoloop Want to get your band to the top of the charts with your next album release?
