Advocacy Marketing and PR
Building brand through influencers and third party advocacy.
Any company can have a content strategy and marketing platform, but that doesn’t mean it will be clear and effective. Ventana Group helps our clients achieve rapid brand building and category leadership through integrated PR, marketing, lead-generation, digital, and social media campaigns.
Research has shown that customers don’t trust branded content as much as what experts or their peers say. We understand this new reality and rely on a disruptive form of Advocacy Marketing—building your brand’s credibility through independent influencers including your customers, partners, and industry experts—to create disruptive, powerful strategic messaging that instantly accelerates brand leadership.
In addition to helping our clients harness the power of independent influencers to reach new audiences, we also ensure your content is marketed across multiple new media channels as a powerful tool for enhanced brand awareness, lead generation, and SEO. Our core services include integrated communications/PR and content marketing to expand your window of opportunity.
Clear, compelling consistent…that’s the key to a successful communications messaging strategy. Have an existing message that needs more spark? Need to come up with a fresh vision? We’ll craft a customized communications platform that captures the essence of your message while tapping into the power of endorsements from independent third parties—including industry analysts, customers, and partners—to effectively tell a story that sets you apart and establishes brand leadership.
Your company’s content strategy is key to its marketing success. We help our clients evaluate their options for corporate communications assets to determine which assets will best support their marketing initiatives and drive greater lead gen. We develop innovative, hyper-effective content strategies and marketing collateral, including research surveys, contributed articles, infographics, white papers, case studies, blogs, videos, buyers guides and more that educate key audiences and attract prospects and partners.
A primary goal for any PR program is to secure third-party validation from industry analysts and media influencers. Ventana has strong relationships with some of the largest IT analyst firms and media giants in the business. Our deep understanding of how to harness ongoing attention from these critical thought leaders results in the type of independent coverage and validation that generates trust from new and existing customers alike—and ultimately increases your brand awareness.
Influencer relations. Content creation. Platform ideation. Customer engagement. When it comes to digital and social, Ventana clearly delivers. We help you connect and collaborate throughout the social sphere in an integrated way that drives awareness, engages audiences, and boosts demand across your entire social footprint.
The crown jewels of content marketing—interactive media and video—blend all forms of content into one, triggering an undeniable call to action. We provide one-stop project management, including pre-production planning, on-site execution, and post-production.
You know what you want to say, you just don’t know how to say it. That’s where Ventana’s writing and editing services come in, effectively crafting and communicating your message in a way that generates the interest and impact your brand needs to compete and visibly stand apart from the crowd.
