Top 5 Tagline Tips: How to Create the Brand Experience in 5 Words or Less

August 8, 2017 by Gal Borenstein Leave a Comment

“Just do it.” “I’m Lovin’ it.” “Rethink Possible.” “The Ultimate Driving Machine.” Do these phrases sound instantly familiar? So familiar, in fact, that you immediately envision the product, you imagine the sensation, you taste the sweat and smell the Big Mac, you grip the wheel with your dream hands and stamp down on the accelerator. You experience the brand – all thanks to a few simple words. That’s the power of a great tagline.

Many people may assume that since typical taglines use just a few short, crisp words, a great tagline should be fairly easy to create. Fewer words, less trouble, right? For those of us who make a living one letter at a time, nothing could be further from the truth. Crafting an impactful tagline involves many steps, from researching the product to identifying strengths and weaknesses of the competition to learning the likes and dislikes of the target audience. Plus, tagline creation requires a comprehensive command of the subtleties of language, an ear for poetry, and an eye for design. Here are a few great tips to use when creating a tagline for a company, product or brand:

  1. Make it Memorable: It sounds easy, but the most important factor to consider is that in addition to the brand name, the tagline captures the minimum information that consumers need to know about a product or company. The only information a consumer has access to when they are not face-to-face with the product, is what they have stored about it in their heads. Short, concise phrases that capitalize on existing idioms or conventions of speech are always great places to start.
  2. Keep it Modern: Just like fashion or interior design, language has cycles in which certain words, grammatical conventions and patterns of speech become more popular and more commonly used. Today, with the prevalence of social media, there is a trend toward casual and conversational tones in nearly all writing outside of academia. You can see it overtly in blogs and tweets, but it’s even present in journalism and editorial work. A tagline of today should capitalize on this informal tone – the brand and the consumer can speak on the same terms.
  3. Add Aural Appeal: Taglines love great rhymes. With clear rhythm, meter and time, good lines stay stuck in the mind. Alliteration packs a powerful punch. Plus, repetition is a really, really, really relevant tool. Lame language games aside, infusing aural appeal – or highlighting the sound, not just the meaning of the word – can be a very effective tactic in tagline creation.
  4. Ignite the Imagination: The tagline is a conceptual piece. A tagline that relies on nebulous or conceptual language is much more likely to inspire new ideas and stimulate the imagination than one that uses declarative language to describe precise details of the brand. A good tagline should take risks, should be open to interpretation and should entice the mind, without shifting focus away from the brand, or mixing up the message. Don’t be afraid to break the rules.
  5. Trademark It: During the ideation process, it’s important to check each tagline concept thoroughly on Google and USPTO.gov. It can be quite a disappointment (and legally tenuous) if you’ve developed fantastic messaging around a tagline someone else owns. If there’s no record of the tagline in existing patent files, the word or phrase can be trademarked – then it’s yours.

 

Finally, keep in mind that taglines are temporary. Each tagline should reflect the current moods and market trends. If you continue to strive to develop new tagline ideas based on these easy principles, your brand will stay relevant, captivating and profitable.

Top 10 Strategic Imperatives for Social Media Success in 2016

January 6, 2016 by Gal Borenstein Leave a Comment

As 2016 rolls in, social media is no longer the stepchild or shiny object in your communications strategy. It plays a pivotal part in allowing your organization to spread the word strategically, protect and improve your brand’s reputation, inspire your fans and customers, and align with the overall corporate mission, objectives, and goals of your organization. If you are a corporate communicator, this is your time, to seize the day and the big data and embrace the opportunity to apply strategic imperatives to your social media strategy and ensure your critical messages do not remain a lone tree in the forest that no one can appreciate. Here are Borenstein Group’s 10 Strategic Imperatives for Social Media Success in 2016 as featured in Communication World Magazine. 

10-Strategic-Imperatives-for-Social-Media-Success-in-2016_BorensteinGroup_HighRes_01042016.jpg

  1. Go Mobile or Go Home.

In the past, most corporations could get away by posting links from their Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn accounts to their corporate websites that were not responsive and compatible with smartphones and tablets. In 2016, most studies are showing that if your corporate website is not mobile-friendly, your social media nuggets of gold will be rendered useless as prospects will leave your site quicker than you can click ‘delete’ on your keyboard. Bottom line: before you deploy any social media campaign, ensure that your organization has upgraded to a mobile friendly and responsive design. If you are not sure, just take your CEO to a conference room, open up your homepage on your tablet and ask him to find his profile. That works really well to get executive buy-in if all else fails.

  1. Integrate SoMo Strategy unto Your Multichannel Marketing Plan.

Your Social media strategy plan cannot succeed if it is disconnected or misaligned from the rest of your online multi-channel marketing plan. At all times, you must stay true to your corporate brand and use the social media tools available as an extension of them. Be creative, but stay consistent with your brand voice. Second, before you begin planning your multichannel marketing strategy, be sure to map out your company’s or organization’s goals in advance. Goals could include creating brand awareness, building relationships, generating leads, growing authority, improving interactions, promoting a product or increasing sales.

  1. Align Your C-Suite’s Mission, Goals & Objectives with The Analytics & Metrics They Care About.

Let’s be real: when was the last time your corporate boss said “I LOVE our social media’s return-on-investment! This really helped us GROW this quarter!” If you are being honest with yourself, chances are the answer is slim to none. The majority of us have never experienced joy when it comes to explaining social media ROI metrics to a corporate executive like a CEO, CFO or CIO. While, in the past, one could claim that there were very few tested marketing and social media automation systems that allowed you to capture meaningful analytics and metrics, 2016 is changing the game. You can now use Big Data analytics to measure anything about which your corporate c-suite is skeptical.

From levels of digital engagement to potency to velocity to repeat visits and downloads of the CEO’s white papers or links to influential third-party validation sites, there are no excuses in 2016 not to measure. What should you measure first, second and third? Measure what your corporate management cares about, not what’s cool in the digital water cooler. Most importantly, if you finished your social media plan and you cannot identify anything that’s relatable to sales, marketing, recruitment and corporate social responsibility, consider a re-do. You are not done yet. Remember, nothing could be more frustrating than having a big win in social media engagement than having your boss say ‘so what, that is not our target audience, irrelevant.’

  1. Develop & Implement a Scoring System for Social Media Postings Aligned with Your Organization’s Business Objectives.

Let’s face it: not all metrics are created equal and not every social media posting on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn or vine is going to be important to you or your company. In order to avoid meaningless reports of the number of “mentions” and “retweets”, without assigning a level of importance, you can create a simplified scoring scale from 0-10 in what you’d consider successful and impactful for your organization on social media. For example, your can determine the top three impact data points that your CEO, CFO, and CMO agree and align with, that are worth the company’s time. Remember, you do not want to be the professional that floods your management reports with meaningless metrics of “apparent success.” Analytics is here to help, but please don’t lie with statistics but asking the wrong questions.

  1. Promote Your Corporate Social Responsibility Brand: Doing Good Works Well on Social Media

Because of the viral nature of social media and the capacity to share moments of joy, one of the most critical investments you could make is to ensure your corporate social responsibility initiatives are not happening on a desolate island or being posted only after an event has already happened. They say that no good deed goes unpunished, but what if – by the power of social media – a company’s good deeds could instead be rewarded? Bad news may travel fast, but through the power of social media, these days, good news travels even faster.

For example, AARP, not your average millennial social media membership profile, has managed to garner tremendous national publicity via social media by actually promoting their partnership with Outreach Program, a non-profit 501 (c)(3) corporation that organizes food packaging events around the country. With more than 300 million meals packaged to date, the organization’s mission is to provide food, safe water, education, and medical care to those in need at home and abroad. More than 5,000 AARP volunteers and employee’s packaged over 1.2 million Outreach Program Rice and Bean Casserole meals in Washington, DC on Friday, September 11, 2015, to help feed hungry seniors and veterans in the DC area.

In essence, going viral, or even having a healthy social media community, is more than just scheduling a few tweets or posting photos on Facebook. Curating content, looking for opportunities, and effectively communicating your story is key.

  1. Stay Strategically Relevant: Connect Your Brand to Real-Time News Narratives.

In yesteryear, the right thing to do was to stay within the lines of your dogmatic brand guidelines to avoid conflict and to get any attention that isn’t in the ‘interest of the corporation’. It allowed corporations to communicate with little to no emotional connection to what is really going on the world. However, in 2016, social media is where the buzz is inspiring people to learn about your company in real-time. For example, when a major refugees’ crisis became the dominating headline, did your company have an internal tag-team to consider how to leverage your brand in social media? I am not advocating taking political positions as much as making it clear that your corporate social media strategy includes being attuned to what would make a positive impact to your company’s image online.

  1. Validate That Your Leadership’s Personal SoMo Accounts Aren’t in Conflict with Your Corporate Accounts

Truth be told, not every organization has a pithy, enthusiastic, social-media friendly CEO. Conversely, many organizations have CEOs that are tweeting their opinions from personal accounts without regards to the company’s social media brand perception, creating chaos and inconsistency between the brand you want to present to the world, and the brand that is being hijacked by personal political views to major misspellings that go worldwide in seconds. Because the distinction between Personal & Corporate social media is inherently gone, your 2016 social media strategy must fully align with the corporate interests of your organization. For example, it doesn’t matter how good you do with the corporate account if unflattering pictures of your CEO on a beach vacation, drunk at a local watering hole, make the ‘Twitter machine’ explode with expletives of #WTF.

  1. Be Ready: Develop a Social Media Disaster Preparedness Plan

It is not a question of if, but when. Whether it is a security breach that affects millions of your customers, or a negative recorded customer service experience that went viral on the web, natural or man-made brand disasters will strike your corporation, and your corporate brand that stood for trusted & reliable will unravel before your very eyes. Unless you are prepared to handle crisis communications in the digital age of instant citizen journalism and social media rumors that travel the world faster than you can type, you are already behind on digital emergency preparedness.

Within hours of any public event that get publicity, whether it’s a security breach exposing credit cards at a healthcare insurance company, or a bad customer service call of a cable provider that goes viral in a bad way, social media was filled with livid postings by customers that already blame your brand for slow response on social media, while internet trolls are posting more disparaging remarks about your brand in real-time. The biggest takeaway is that, unlike in the past, when we would all be waiting to see what CNN or Fox would be reporting, your corporate brand is no longer owned by a controlled narrative. It is owned by anyone with a social media account, qualified or not, that can vilify or defend your trusted brand. It is clear that being ready isn’t optional anymore.

What does it mean to be ready? It is called Digital Preparedness. You cannot control social media brand disasters before they happen, but here are proactive strategies you can enact right now to mitigate potential hazards lurking in the distance. At the minimum, since most social media explosions go from zero to 100 really quick, establish a Virtual Command Control Center for Emergency Communications Between the C-Suite, Social Media & Corporate Communications. Often, in times of crisis, executives rely on or hide behind their communications directors to take care of the outside noise from media.

However, without access to the certain leaders in charge of the crisis, whether it is information security breach or catastrophic failure, communications professionals cannot help you unless they got some facts about the who, why, what and where. In the age of available marketing automation suites, it is easy to create an escalation process that allows you to contain communications and ensure there is easy access to decision makers. Most importantly, don’t allow others to define your brand because you were not prepared or overly conservative and cautious. No response is a form of a response in today’s fast moving digital media age and it could make or break your brand more forcefully than any cosmetic fixes or updated customer services policies would.

  1. Recruit & Engage a Social Media Employee Advisory Council

In most organizations, social media is still viewed as the new shiny object that is highly coveted, but one must be aware that if your social media messaging and brand ambassadors are not included and don’t give you the necessary ‘buy in’ on your messaging, you are simply creating an ineffective strategy. The solution is to recruit from within employees that can form a monthly brown bag luncheon to discuss what they’d like to see the company communicating about in different areas. By making them part of the process, as early as possible, you can be assured that you will have additional ambassadors to promote your messages through a multitude of social media channels as well as avoid having a giant disconnect from the cadre of believers in your company’s digital brand.

  1. Make your social media messaging indispensable to your target audience.

Social media power comes with a mission of creating quality content that people care about. In 2016, the excuse that the only ‘approved’ messages from corporate are about account wins, new hires and company picnics is void of connection with the real-world. Successful companies use social media to create engaging content, no matter their field, to amass new fans and customers by offering up tips, how-to guides, funny meme’s that speak to their unique audience, and usage of un-contrived videos that show the authenticity of your organization. Your plan must strategically emblazon the word ‘what’s in it for my prospect on social media’ before any and all postings are promoted. If that answer isn’t clear, you got a loser on your hand.

How to Land an Internship at a Cool Marketing Agency

April 3, 2014 by Gal Borenstein Leave a Comment

[av_hr class=’invisible’ height=’10’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’]

Before you take on the world and land that perfect job, the first step is to get your foot in the door at a marketing agency. To do this, apply for that ‘dirty job’ they call an “internship.” Below are the top 5 tips on how to land that internship!

[av_hr class=’default’ height=’50’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’]

1. Research

Once you secure an interview, you are half-way there! The next step is doing your homework. The number one thing you can do wrong in an interview is to not know anything about the company. Of course, they don’t expect you to know everything that they do, but having a general idea about the latest changes the company has implemented or the company’s specific target market will put you ahead of the hundreds of other interns that are trying to do exactly what you are doing.

2. Know the “Latest Trends” in the Market

Companies love having interns in their company because it is a way for someone with fresh, new ideas to update old processes and procedures with new technology. This does not mean you have to be a social media junky or know everything about content marketing.

3. Have References and Connections

The most important thing in the business world is: “who you know.” Having an amazing resume is only half the battle in landing that internship. College is the best time to get involved in all sorts of extra-curricular activities, and when employers see familiarities with the same interests that they once were involved in, it’s a great conversation starter! Another advantage from getting involved in college is having those great references that are trustworthy and can prove you are a great fit for the internship you are seeking.

4. Follow up

The main question to ask yourself when you’ve just finished that amazing interview is how do I compare to the other hundreds of students that are seeking that same internship? Setting yourself apart can be difficult, but making employers remember you can actually be quite easy. Sending a quick email thanking them for their time and telling them you are excited to hear back could actually make or break it for you.

5.  Get out of your comfort zone

College is the time for learning and growing as a person… figuring out where you belong and exactly what you want to do with your future. Internships are a lot like the real world because they give you a glimpse of what the “real world” is actually all about. They can be difficult – but even more rewarding. Don’t waste an amazing opportunity when you get the chance.

Hopefully, this post gave you helpful tips on how to land a great internship in an awesome marketing agency. If you are interested in becoming an intern at Borenstein Group fill out our form here!

This Year’s Top Trends and Tips for B2B Content Marketing

January 30, 2013 by Gal Borenstein Leave a Comment

Content marketers in the B2B space know that the game is always changing. First, it was all about the blog, then Facebook ruled. Now, case studies and video content are each surging in popularity and importance. Recently, MarketingProfs along with the Content Marketing Institute released a fascinating study of “The State of B2B Content Marketing In North America,” with loads of great insight into the content tactics top B2B marketers are using to raise brand awareness and generate new leads. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights:

  • 91% of B2B marketers rely on content marketing as the central component in their integrated approach. That other 9%? Well, we probably haven’t heard of them anyway.

 

  • Social media takes the cake as the top tactic for B2B marketing, with 87% of survey respondents citing it as a primary focus. The top 30% of effective tactics are all digital. Web articles, videos, case studies, blogs, all direct email marketing all ranked in at 70% or higher. Games/Gamification is a newcomer to the list, but at 11% definitely indicates a trend toward interactivity as a lead gen tool.

 

 

  • LinkedIn rules the roost when it comes to social media channels that B2B markets identified as most effective outlets to distribute content. The use of LinkedIn is up almost 8% from 2011 with 83% or respondents referencing it at the top spot. In a lot of ways, this makes sense. B2B marketing is often a matter of appealing directly to decision makers. LinkedIn is where the decision makers dwell. In fact 59% of respondents tailor content to directly appeal to individual decision makers.

 

 

  • In the past year, the use of videos as a B2B marketing tool has increased by almost 20%, with 70% of respondents listing video as a primary tactic. (Check out this Borenstein-produced video created for a client in the defense-aerospace sector)

 

 

  • Good news for content creators: 54% of respondents say they intend to increase their content marketing budget in 2013. That means the focus on content as a B2B brand promotion and lead gen source will only intensify over the coming year. Also, it’s the small companies that will be spending a larger percentage of total marketing budget on content. Micro biz (less than 10 employees) is expected to spend 42%, while big business (1000+ employees) will top out at only 24%. So, keep those keyboard fingers nimble!

 

For most marketing professionals, the biggest challenge in content marketing is simply keeping up with the demand for new, meaningful content. And It’s not enough to produce quantity – quality content is still king.

Better Inbound Marketing Results: How to Fish for Leads in 2013

January 29, 2013 by Gal Borenstein Leave a Comment

 

In the sea of small business, the fish are hungry. Getting them to bite is easy with the right bait. Check out this new Borenstein infographic to learn more about the sea of digital inbound marketing, and a catch a few great tips on how to generate leads using digital strategies. For example:

  • 67% of B2B companies surveyed earned new business through Facebook
  • 61% of B2B companies converted leads using LinkedIn
  • 63% of B2B companies used blogs to earn new business
  • 53% used Twitter to connect and converse with potential clients
  • 85% of respondents feel that blogs are useful, important or critical to earning new business.

This shows that inbound marketing (blogs, SEO, Social Media) far outweighs outbound marketing (direct mail, trade shows, telemarketing) when it comes to ROI on marketing dollars.

Organizations that rely predominantly on inbound marketing report a 62% lower cost per lead than organizations that focus solely on out-bound marketing.
