Digital times call for brands talking with their audiences and encouraging them to talk amongst themselves. We make sure you’re engaging with the right audience and earning yourself some great advocates.

Digital Media Strategy & Management

Coming age calls for brands doing a lot more than just sales. Consumers have become more conscious and they want to connect and interact with brands, and digital media serves as a direct means of gaining an honest feedback about your brand on a day to day basis. As such, we study how your audiences speak, where they speak and how they behave. We discover insights about them and then develop strategies and actionable plans for a holistic digital positioning and communication. This makes it easier for your audiences to receive the information they want, at the platform they like. We then engage via content distribution and have conversations with your audiences across multiple platforms such as social media, emailers, communities, influencer marketing, etc.

On Site SEO: Includes the optimisation of every web page, its content, images and codes on a webpage in order for it to rank high on a search result. These enhancements make it easy for web crawlers to index your websites and its content. After evaluating your brand, we optimise your website content and include necessary keywords and meta tags, so your audience finds it easy to reach you via search engines as well as for search engines to rank your site higher.

Off Site SEO: Includes the activities performed off of your website that links back to your website. This is optimised by link building, social media marketing, social share, influencer/blogger marketing and various other techniques. We make sure that more and more people share, reference and link your website and publish relevant content for you, which results in search engines to trust the site and the brand to be worthy of the search query.

We create micro content all the way from one minute Instagram teaser videos, Instagram stories, Snapchat stories, animated GIFs, to infographics or illustrations. Since people are more likely to view short pieces of content, they are also inclined to share these with their social group.
