Storytelling

Storytelling as a PR and marketing strategy involves much more than just sharing “stories”. In contrast to conventional PR, storytelling goes beyond quoting mere facts and figures, beyond publishing company news. Good storytelling will always hone in on themes that are relevant for target groups, on what’s hot on the markets, and will interpret general themes through its own brand of prism. That’s why storytelling won’t work without elements of emotionalizing or personalizing.

In the real word, storytelling is not the job of a single person. You won’t find storytelling listed in the spokesperson’s job profile. Storytelling is an element of corporate culture that grows in the right environment of business processes and is supported by the right tools. It requires cutting-edge theme monitoring and sustainable influencer marketing, based on the company’s mission statement and the elevator pitch method used by the company’s management and staff.

The whole world is one big story, and we’re in it.

Social media agency

Social media marketing is not a new offshoot in the marketing mix. Social media marketing is all about expanding corporate communications by including social networks.

That’s why you cannot just relegate social media marketing to a single social media marketing manager. On the contrary: social media marketing is a challenge for the entire marketing organization, if not for the entire company: you are suddenly faced with having to learn how to live in the categories and by the principles of social media.

It would be a fallacy to delegate social media marketing to some agency and be done with it. Our mission is to help and assist our clients on their path to becoming successful players in social media culture. Our job is to coach and support them. Our forté is the technical establishment of channels and media for our clients on the one hand, and the management of channel and media relations on the other.

As a social media agency, we develop and design corporate blogs, LinkedIn websites, XING groups, Facebook and Twitter channels and much more.

And most of all, we are a strategic partner in content marketing. Because social media communication is based on conversational publishing. All social media channels require editorial plans. That’s why we believe in creating editorial plans hand in hand with our clients.

We explore themes, edit content for target audiences, write copy and help our clients’ storytellers develop and enhance their social media marketing. We help our clients every step of the way – right up to lead generation and employee branding.

For more details on some of our corporate blogging and content marketing references, please view the corporate blogs post on our agency blog.

In social media marketing, our competence portfolio ranges from strategic consulting to the technical development of corporate blogs, websites and social media channels, from employee marketing, online monitoring, editing and video production to the design and rollout of fully-fledged social media campaigns on Facebook or social selling campaigns on LinkedIn.

The Agency for Inbound Marketing

We are a certified partner of HubSpot, the internationally renowned provider of inbound marketing. Inbound Marketing is the acquisition and retention of customers through convincing content that a company publishes. Today, it is the central element of marketing as it supports the sales-oriented tasks of PR and social media marketing. Contacts are gained by intelligent content attracting the attention of potential new customers, and smart marketing automatisms lead to the registration of leads and ultimately to satisfied customers. Inbound marketing is not so much a tool as a strategy that turns visitors into customers through interesting marketing.

We support companies reliably and competently in every phase of inbound marketing: starting with checking whether and to what extent HubSpot is even a possibility, advising on the strategic orientation and the technical setup. We support the ongoing inbound marketing process with sound campaign management and regular analyses to optimise content.
