What services does your business require? Who are you trying to reach? How competitive is the landscape? What are your goals? We provide marketing made personal to your business, target audience, and objectives. For marketing campaigns, our work costs $2,000–$125,000 per month. Most often, we charge $5,000–$35,000 per month for management. If you’re looking for paid search or social, there is additional advertising spend on top of our management fees. This spend goes directly to Google, Meta, or the platform on which we are advertising, and it can range from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars per month. Our initial contracts are typically six or twelve months, though we have opt-out clauses after 60 days for new clients’ peace of mind. Our digital marketing contracts never automatically renew. We want to earn your business every time, and we typically adapt our scope of services based on what we’ve learned from your previous campaign as well as how the digital landscape has evolved since then.

If you hear about AudioGO without context, you may (mistakenly) think you don’t know about them. However, AudioGO is just the platform that gives you access to the ads on the SiriusXM audio network. I bet that name rings a bell. To be more specific, AudioGo is the self-service campaign management platform for SiriusXM Media; and SiriusXM Media is the advertising arm of the more all-encompassing SiriusXM Audio Network. It’s like a fun little marketing matrioska doll. Audiogo provides self-service access to an extensive portfolio that spans streaming services, satellite radio, podcasts, and specialized sound platforms including SoundCloud and the SiXM podcast network. The platform democratizes digital audio advertising by enabling advertisers to deploy audio campaigns with just a few clicks, making sophisticated audio advertising accessible to businesses of all sizes. SiriusXM Media has come a long way from doing just satellite radio back in the 2010’s. It is a whole umbrella company that reaches 150 million monthly listeners across the United States. The network includes three main divisions: SiriusXM satellite radio, the SiriusXM Streaming Network (anchored by platforms like Pandora and SoundCloud), and the SiriusXM Podcast Network. This comprehensive portfolio allows advertisers to access audiences around the clock. From people listening to radio shows in the morning on satellite radio to streaming music at work while they code to their evening podcast unwind session. The evolution from a satellite radio company to a comprehensive audio ecosystem reflects broader changes in how Americans consume audio content.... --- - Published: 2025-07-29 - Modified: 2025-07-29 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/nextdoors-big-bet-on-local-relevance/ - Categories: News - Tags: Advertising, digital marketing, marketing, Social Media - SEO Service Types: Search & Ads Nextdoor Wants To Be Your Neighbor Nextdoor, in a press release earlier this month announced what they are calling “the most consequential redesign of its core product to date”. So what is a Nextdoor? For those unfamiliar with the app, Nextdoor is a neighborhood-focused social media platform that aims to connect people that are roughly in the same geographic area. Founded in 2011, distinguished itself back then and now by requiring that users verify their real mailing address to join each neighborhood network. This yielded small online spaces that ensure each user is interacting with people who are geographically close to them. Though growth has proven to be a challenge for the platform over the years, they do report about 100 million users across different countries. Though it has had some success in establishing itself as the "neighborhood bulletin board”, the platform has been trying to shed its reputation for neighborhood complaints, and move into a more utility-based role in its users’ lives. With this most recent news release and rebrand, Nextdoor is making a major push toward real-life interactions and local relevance. For the 14 years since its original launch, they have been known as the app associated with neighborhood gossip, busybody neighbors, and people who spend a lot of time at home. That said, they're betting big on the fact that many more people will be staying home now that hybrid and remote work has become much more common among their target audience. The more people stay at... --- - Published: 2025-07-25 - Modified: 2025-07-28 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/non-profit-spotlight-united-way-of-southeast-la/ - Categories: Featured, New Orleans, People - Tags: Nonprofit, nonprofits In Southeast Louisiana, nearly half of all households struggle to afford basic necessities. Behind this statistic are hardworking human beings, loving families, and caring neighbors who, despite their best efforts, find themselves unable to keep pace with the rising cost of living. Research by the Brookings Institute points out that “the effects of rising prices have been even more pronounced for poorer families, and especially families of color. ” United Way of Southeast Louisiana is a trusted non-profit with deep local roots that sees how our communities' greatest challenges are interconnected. By showing up in communities, listening, and responding with innovative solutions, they aim to increase resilience and advance health, youth opportunity, and financial security for all. Their stated mission is simple and bold: to eradicate poverty. UNDERSTANDING COMMUNITIES: ALICE IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA United Way focuses their efforts on community members within the ALICE demographic—that is: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. This describes families who still face financial hardship—unable to afford necessities such as housing, food, childcare, healthcare, essential technologies, and transportation—despite doing everything they are supposed to do to ensure their own thriving. At least 49% of households in Southeast Louisiana fell below the ALICE threshold in 2023, an unacceptable number by any measure. You can learn more specifics in United Way's Southeast Louisiana ALICE Report.

Today, I’m focusing on Google Ads and how they relate to email, social, and landing page efforts. We know Google Ads work well on their own, but perform best when paired with upper-funnel efforts. The easy answer here is that their ads can share the same creative theme, including images and messaging—and that people who didn’t convert from your social ads and emails can be retargeted with Google Ads to great effect. But I won’t say that. I’ll give you more than the shallow answers you could’ve easily Googled. Let’s touch on how each of these channels can work together to make your campaigns even stronger. Aligning Google Ads with Email Marketing Of course, the copy in your email campaigns can be repurposed to ensure consistent messaging across both platforms. The click-through rates can be a guide that provides insight for us when it comes to subject lines working with our audience and what isn’t. The subject lines yielding a better click-through rate can be repurposed for ad copy. But what’s better than repurposed ad copy in a digital landscape where third-party cookies are at risk? A first-party data source! Email addresses collected through direct interactions with their consent are pretty underrated at a time like this. This information can be fed back into Google Ads as more qualified signals for Google to go off of, elevating your retargeting strategy.

Gone are days when cultural institutions could rely on prestige alone to draw crowds. Today, museums are connecting with new audiences in new ways - modernizing their digital presence and offering free online resources like image databases, virtual tours, and online courses to drive traffic. They are also entering the stream of social media as users and creators themselves. With the rich resources of their own collections, they are expanding their role as cultural custodians while bridging the gap between reverence and relevance. Why Art Museums Are Evolving Art museums wrestle with a very 21st-century paradox: how do you make gallery walls compete with phone screens for the attention of digital natives and the chronically online? One answer is a digital marketing strategy that entertains and illuminates. As younger audiences increasingly encounter culture old and new through screens, institutions are wise to meet them where they are—online and engaged. The transformation isn't just about survival, though, it's about evolving and thriving. Museums that embrace innovative digital marketing are discovering unprecedented opportunities to democratize art and expand their reach. Treating art as a shared commons accessible to all, regardless of location or means, helps ensure the longer-term flourishing of arts institutions. Plus, free online resources have been shown to drum up interest in... --- - Published: 2025-07-17 - Modified: 2025-07-17 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/why-googles-ai-powered-creative-ads-suggestions-might-not-be-right/ - Categories: News - Tags: Ai ads, ai advertising, customized digital campaigns, digital ai advertising, digital campaigns, digital marketing, Google Ads, google ai ads, google paid ads, paid ads, paid marketing - SEO Service Types: Consulting, Search & Ads Automation is the word that best sums up what’s happening across the digital advertising landscape. With AI on the rise and being baked into nearly everything, it’s no surprise that Google Ads has been leaning into automation—especially in Responsive Search Ads (RSAs), where it suggests headlines and descriptions. Google’s AI-powered creative suggestions appear when you build RSAs or Performance Max campaigns, recommending headlines, descriptions, callouts, and even images and videos based on your landing page, assets, and previous ads. Why Strategists Still Need to Be Involved While these AI-generated suggestions can offer a fresh perspective—especially when we as strategists are deep in accounts or simply overwhelmed—it’s still essential to make these creative decisions intentionally. They can be very useful when your ad strength is low, and you want to strengthen it with headlines that Google already “likes,” or for generating ideas that incorporate keywords you may not have thought of. It’s nice to know Google has ideas ready to go, but that doesn’t mean they’re always the right ones. Embracing Google’s creative input is helpful, but a strategist must know when to override it with human judgment. When to Say No to Google’s Suggestions So... why decline an AI-powered suggestion? Google’s recommendations are often too vague and generic, which doesn’t work for the kind of customized, on-brand messaging we aim to deliver for clients. Headlines like “Trusted Experts” or “Learn More Today” don’t differentiate your client from anyone else and worse, they don’t reflect the brand’s unique voice. It’s even... --- - Published: 2025-07-15 - Modified: 2025-07-28 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/including-accessible-web-colors-in-your-brand-guide/ - Categories: Featured, Resources - SEO Service Types: Branding, Design, Websites Why should your brand guide include accessibility standards? An accessible brand offers equal access and enjoyment of your content for all users, strengthening your brand reputation and building trust with your audience. Including accessibility features like accessible web colors with proper color contrast, alt text for images, and keyboard navigation shows that your brand values all who interact with it while ensuring compliance with federal accessibility requirements. A great way to implement accessible design and content creation across your brand is to include these standards in your brand guide. This gives your team quick and easy access to the rules they need to follow, without each of them needing to be an expert on WCAG standards. When working with outside contractors or freelancers, having these rules in your brand guide will also help ensure they are consistently followed. In this blog we’ll focus on one of the first features of a brand we see– color. It’s important for the colors you use for text to be readable to users who have varying abilities to distinguish colors. WCAG outlines Level AA guidance for color contrast for text: Text has a 4. 5:1 contrast ratio against its background color. Exception: Large text (14pt bold or 18pt) can have a contrast ratio of 3:1. Logos do not have a contrast requirement, but if you are designing a new logo you may still choose to use a 3:1 or greater contrast for accessibility. These are the rules for accessible Web Colors we’ll be adding... --- - Published: 2025-07-10 - Modified: 2025-07-10 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/using-nostalgia-in-marketing/ - Categories: Resources - Tags: digital marketing, marketing, marketing expertise, marketing insight, marketing techniques, marketing tricks, nostalgia marketing - SEO Service Types: Branding, Consulting With constant technological development, younger generations crave familiarity, authenticity, and a break from the constant focus on the future. Whether it’s through the rise of y2k-fashion, playing vinyl records, or using digital cameras, Gen Z has been fueling a wave of nostalgia. Since today's consumers are constantly fed content in all directions with the average attention span shrinking, standing out has been all the more valuable to digital marketers. Using nostalgia in marketing strategies can help brands be more authentic, foster trust, and overall evoke positive emotions. WHAT IS NOSTALGIA MARKETING AND WHY DOES IT WORK? Nostalgia is a powerful tool for marketers as it can build loyalty and evoke positive, familiar emotions in consumers. Nostalgia is when one remembers or reminisces on memories from one’s past, oftentimes from one’s childhood. When one feels nostalgic, they often recall a memory with rose-tinted glasses and oftentimes wish they could return to that moment. As a result, as Psychology researchers have stated, one typically feels positive emotions such as warmth, joy, gratitude, and affection when feeling nostalgic. Nostalgia Marketing focuses on evoking familiar, positive feelings so consumers associate those feelings with a brand, they are more likely to engage with and trust the brand. EXAMPLES OF NOSTALGIA MARKETING TAYLOR SWIFT AND THE ERAS TOUR Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour strategically utilizes nostalgia marketing by relating to her audience, refreshing old content, and staying authentic.

It's about time. As social media managers and content creators, we've been waiting for platforms to make meaningful changes that actually help everyone participate in the conversation. These new features aren't just nice-to-haves, they're essentials that make the platform more welcoming for all users. Our Social Media Strategist, Abby Roche, breaks down everything you need to know in the video below. https://onlineoptimism. com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/OPT23_20250612-OO-AR-OO-Social-TikTok-Accessibility-Features_V6_E70_PM18. mp4 What's New on TikTok's Accessibility Front Alt Text for Photo Posts You can now add alt text descriptions to your photo posts, either during upload or after you've already hit publish. But here's where it gets interesting: TikTok is testing AI-generated alt text options. While we're always cautious about letting robots do our creative work, this could be a game-changer for busy social media managers who want to make their content accessible but struggle with time constraints. Pro tip from our team: Don't rely solely on AI-generated descriptions. Take a moment to review and personalize them. Your audience deserves thoughtful, accurate descriptions that capture the essence of your content. Better Contrast Options For users who need higher contrast to comfortably view content, TikTok now offers improved contrast settings. Getting there is simple: Settings > Accessibility > Increase Color Contrast. That's it. This might seem like a small change, but for users with visual impairments or reading difficulties, it can make the difference between scrolling past your content and actually engaging with it.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we dove deep into the evolution of SEO agencies. I shared my journey from a one-person operation with a laptop to building a 20-person agency over 13 years, discussing everything from the challenges of niche specialization to adapting SEO strategies in the age of AI. Along with Jeremy, we explore how agencies need to evolve beyond traditional SEO tactics, the importance of understanding client business models, and why conversion optimization should be prioritized alongside search rankings. This episode is packed with practical insights for agency owners, SEO professionals, and anyone looking to understand how the search landscape is changing in 2025. Podcast Episode Highlights "It really feels to me like Sears, which I know is such a weird metaphor. When Amazon came around in the 90s, Sears could've been that company. It had been that company in America for 80 years. Google's never really solved this - Gen Z and Alpha is still using TikTok as search. They were at 92%, now they're at 90%, they're just chasing the new leaders.

In the past few years, we’ve seen a rise in popularity in new social media apps that offer non-addictive interfaces, such as BeReal and Lapse, the former prompting users to take just one photo a day, and Lapse asking users to wait several hours for their photos to “develop. ” These examples are, unfortunately, the exceptions to the rule. For the most part, social media app creators and developers profit off of the amount of time we spend on social media, to the tune of $244 billion spent in 2024 on social media advertising, with 2025 figures estimated to be upwards of $270 billion.

That being said, speed is essential for agency employees. Communication, decision-making, and task execution need to happen seamlessly – often within a few minutes. This is one of the many reasons that project managers and other marketers are turning to Slack integrations to ensure all campaign tasks are organized and delegated appropriately. Slack integrations help your team automate turning messages into formal tasks, making sure nothing gets lost as you assign tasks to your team members. These integrations instantly turn messages into actionable tasks, reducing missed deadlines, eliminating manual follow-ups, and boosting team productivity. For marketing agencies, where multiple campaigns, client needs, and deliverables are shifting and in flux, automation is not just a want or a convenience; it’s a critical feature of an efficient campaign. Why Automate Tasks Assignments in Slack? Slack is an essential tool for teams, especially remote and hybrid teams. In fact, Slack has 38. 8 million daily active users, totaling more than 750,000 organizations. Plus, 77% of the Fortune 100 companies use Slack, valuing the company at $26. 51 billion. That being said, Slack is used in various industries, across time zones, and is the main form of communication for many teams. While helpful, this tool can also be overwhelming for some, because if workflows are not transferred to a project management software such as Asana, there’s a risk that tasks will be forgotten.

It’s hard to believe that this June will mark two decades of Reddit—perhaps the Internet’s greatest resource for keeping up with the news, discussing pop culture, and, well, wasting time. What Are the New Reddit Features in 2025? The Reddit of 2025 would be unrecognizable to anyone who used its 2005 iteration, and as with any social media platform, site redesigns and new features weren’t always as well-received as they were rolled out. Reddit has come a long way in this time, moving more and more into the mainstream. Now, pretty much everyone is interacting with Reddit in some way, and you’ve probably even noticed Reddit posts have been topping Google rankings for a while now.

And with TikTok's future continuing to be uncertain, creators and brands are considering other platforms for short-form video content. Creators are constantly looking at any new video creation tools they can find, so Meta decided to provide a video editing and creation app of its own: Edits. Our team has created and will keep updating this guide throughout the week to help you understand the answers to your burning questions: what is Edits? and how do I use Edits? What is Edits app? The Edits app is a new video creation and editing app from Meta. How do I download Edits app? The Edits app is available globally for download for free in the App Store and Google Play Store. To use the Edits app, download the app and sign in with your Instagram account. Do I need to have Instagram to use Edits? Yes, the Edits app requires you to login to Instagram to set up an Edits account. How do I use Edits app? Edits is intuitive to use for people familiar with Instagram, the app’s partner app. The Edits app, like Instagram, offers users ways to save ideas they find interesting, see Reels others have created, and create their own video projects.

But how many backlinks do you actually need? Whether you're new to SEO or looking to strengthen your existing strategy, understanding the role and value of different types of backlinks can make a significant difference in your site's performance. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore what backlinks are, why they matter in 2025, we’ll answer your burning question, how many backlinks do I need? , and show you proven strategies for building high-quality backlinks that can boost your rankings and drive more organic traffic to your site. Wait... what is a backlink? Before determining the ideal number of backlinks for your website, it’s good to be sure you understand what a backlink is. A backlink is just a fancy word us SEOs use to describe the link created when an external site (ideally one that is authoritative and valuable! ) links back to your website. High-quality backlinks help websites improve their SEO, because if search engines see that another trustworthy website is linking to yours, they understand that your site must be trustworthy, too. And with Google’s recent confirmation that you can’t just add authority and expertise to your website, backlinks are a great way to signal to Google that your site has necessary authority and expertise to be at the top of the SERP (search engine results page). Like many things with SEO, the answer to how many backlinks you need... --- - Published: 2025-04-16 - Modified: 2025-05-07 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/detailed-targeting-exclusions-in-meta-ad-campaigns/ - Categories: Services If you haven’t heard, a huge update came to social media advertising at the end of March. Facebook has rolled out yet another limitation to its advertising platform by removing the ability to use detailed targeting exclusions in Meta ad campaigns. This update, which went into effect on March 31, 2025, continues the platform's trend of gradually restricting advertisers' control while claiming these changes improve campaign performance. But what does this mean for you as an advertiser on Meta platforms? What’s changing? The detailed targeting exclusion feature, which previously allowed advertisers to exclude specific demographics, interests, or behaviors from their targeting in Meta ad campaigns, is being phased out. According to Facebook's internal testing, this change should actually benefit advertisers—their tests showed that the median cost per conversion was 22. 6% lower when campaigns ran without using detailed targeting exclusions. Yet, this update forces advertisers to rely more heavily on Facebook's algorithm and less on their own strategic decisions and expertise. Key Impacts for Advertisers You can no longer use detailed targeting exclusions in Meta ad campaigns Active campaigns created before March 31, 2025, have already had their detailed targeting exclusions removed Existing ad sets using detailed targeting exclusions will display a warning banner in Ads Manager You cannot duplicate or edit an existing ad set, or use saved/draft audiences, unless you remove any detailed targeting exclusions What happens to targeting exclusions in my current Meta ad campaigns?

From potential bans of social platforms to a cultural shift of reducing time spent on our phones, people are becoming increasingly critical of the social networks that have become intertwined with our everyday lives. From BeReal to Lapse, we have seen an increasing interest in alternative social media platforms designed to keep users connected without the distraction of algorithms and ads. However, unlike BeReal and Lapse, Substack has had a plan for monetization from the start, encouraging creators and their audiences that the platform is here to stay. And with 5 million paid subscribers, the platform is one creators are paying more and more attention to. Substack offers users a unique social media experience, blending newsletter publishing with community-building features that set it apart from traditional platforms. With Substack’s growing popularity, you may be wondering how to use Substack. Let’s explore more about this new platform and what sets it apart from other social media. Substack Features Substack offers a distraction-free platform for writers to publish newsletters that reach readers directly via email. The platform is clean, simple, and, unlike many other apps, Substack is ad-free. Each writer has their own individual "home" (their Substack) within the larger Substack ecosystem, creating a direct relationship between writers and readers.

No matter how valuable your content or offer is, if your subject line doesn’t grab attention, your email gets ignored. This is where A/B testing subject lines comes in. Creating an A/B test, also known as split testing, allows you to compare two variations of a subject line to determine which performs better. By consistently testing and refining your approach, you can significantly boost open rates, engagement, and conversions. In this guide, we’ll walk through how to A/B test subject lines effectively, analyze data, and use insights to refine future campaigns. Step 1: Define Your Goal Before running an A/B test, you need to determine what success looks like. Some common goals for subject line testing include: Increasing email open rates – The most common goal, measuring the percentage of recipients who open your email. Boosting click-through rates (CTR) – If the subject line leads to more clicks on links inside the email. Improving conversion rates – The final goal if you want email recipients to take a specific action (e. g. , making a purchase or signing up for a webinar). Once you define the goal, you can create subject line variations designed to impact that specific metric. Step 2: Choose a Single Variable to Test To get meaningful results, focus on changing one element of the subject line at a time.

You're excited to share your progress with your client, only to find out they expected something entirely different. Suddenly, what should have been a success feels like a letdown. What went wrong? Expectation setting. Or, rather, a lack of it. The best marketers make sure they’re on the same page with their clients about what a successful campaign looks like before they even draft a social media post. Let's explore how to set clear, realistic expectations to ensure a smooth partnership, happy clients, and results that everyone celebrates. Define Marketing Success Together A marketer's definition of success isn't always the same as a client's. While you may be focusing on engagement metrics and conversion rates, your client may be expecting immediate sales or content that goes viral. Before a campaign launches, take the time to define what success means in clear, measurable terms. Ask questions like: What specific business goals are you hoping to achieve? Which key performance indicators (KPIs) matter most to you? Are short-term wins or long-term growth more important for this campaign? At Online Optimism, we start every campaign with a kickoff meeting where we set KPIs together with our clients to make sure we're all working toward the same vision of success.

The brief serves as a roadmap, ensuring all stakeholders share the same vision, provide essential feedback to the creative teams, and align on measurable success. Whether launching a new product, running a social media campaign, or leveraging giveaways to boost engagement, a structured process is essential to avoid misalignment, inefficiencies, and unnecessary edits. Here I will outline the components of mastering the art of the creative brief, ensuring consistency with the strategy developed by our team.

Essential Elements of a Creative Brief Team Introductions We believe that human interaction is irreplaceable in a technology-infused world, which is why before we begin discussing strategy or reviewing any deliverables, we make sure everyone on the call introduces themselves.

But here's the thing: creating an amazing work culture in an advertising agency doesn't have to feel like pulling teeth. It's about fostering a culture of belonging in the workplace where creativity thrives and team culture in the workplace evolves naturally. Let's break down what actually works from our experience. Start with a Solid Foundation: Building a Strong Work Culture in an Advertising Agency Launch a Buddy Program That Really Works Remember your first day of school when you didn't know where anything was and everyone else seemed to have it all figured out?

While SEO is always evolving, many businesses cling to outdated strategies that actively harm their rankings. In this guide, we’ll expose the most common SEO myths and replace them with 2025-approved tactics that drive real results. Myth #1: “Keyword Stuffing Still Works” Reality: Google’s algorithms prioritize user intent over robotic keyword repetition. Stuffing your content with exact-match keywords (e. g. , “best SEO company best SEO services best SEO agency”) now triggers penalties. What to do instead: Use semantic keywords and natural language. Tools like Clearscope help optimize for topic relevance. Myth #2: “Meta Tags Don’t Matter Anymore” Reality: While meta keywords are dead, meta titles and descriptions still impact click-through rates (CTRs). Ignoring them wastes prime real estate. What to do instead: Write compelling, keyword-rich titles under 60 characters. For example, “Local SEO Guide for Small Businesses | Online Optimism” instead of vague phrases. Myth #3: “More Backlinks = Better Rankings” Reality: Low-quality backlinks from spammy sites harm your authority. Google’s 2025 Spam Update (external link) cracked down on manipulative links. What to do instead: Focus on niche-relevant, authoritative backlinks. Myth #4: “SEO Is a One-Time Fix” Reality: SEO requires ongoing adjustments. Algorithm updates, competitor moves, and shifting user behavior demand constant attention. What to do instead: Schedule monthly audits using tools like Screaming Frog. Myth #5: “Exact-Match Domains Guarantee Rankings” Reality: Domains like “BestPlumbersInNewOrleans. com” no longer sway Google. Brandability and user trust matter more. What to do instead: Choose a... --- - Published: 2025-01-15 - Modified: 2025-05-08 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/online-optimisms-websites-of-2024/ - Categories: Resources 2024 was a year for the history books!

Each year, our chosen non-profits align with a cause our team actively chooses to support. For 2025, Online Optimism is supporting non-profits working in Climate and Land Justice. With the increasing impacts of climate change disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities and the urgent need to protect our natural resources, our team is taking action by supporting organizations working toward environmental justice and land conservation.

Many people in the audience were running small businesses, either family-owned or on their own. Some relied solely on word of mouth for business, while others had help from family members or their realtor on their social media, paid ads, or blog. As Sam and I shared yesterday, even learning a few new best practices can help improve their results. Below are a few of the top insights we discussed. Understanding Your Marketing Foundation I've worked with clients in residential construction and plumbing for years, and taking the time to establish these fundamentals upfront has set us up for success down the road. Whether you're from an organization like the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans or you work in another industry, you'll need to build a solid foundation for your marketing strategy before diving into specific tactics. Set Clear Campaign Goals The most successful marketing campaigns start with clearly defined goals. In my experience, you'll want to establish both qualitative and quantitative objectives, as well as make sure you have SMART goals.

While these detrimental changes affect many residents of South Louisiana, they disproportionately affect Black communities and Indigenous communities. The Coalition to Restore Louisiana (CRCL) is the first statewide nonprofit dedicated to confronting coastal land loss. The organization’s mission is to unite people in action to achieve a thriving, sustainable Louisiana coast for all. Below you can find out more about their history, programs, and opportunities to get involved! Programs The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) leads significant restoration efforts with innovative programs like the Oyster Shell Recycling Program. This initiative has successfully diverted over 14 million pounds of oyster shells from landfills, repurposing them to construct vital habitats and reefs that not only support new oyster growth but also dramatically slow coastal erosion. Partnering with approximately three dozen restaurants across New Orleans and Baton Rouge, CRCL has constructed its sixth reef, located at the Grand Bayou Indian Village in Plaquemines Parish, enhancing both marine life and community resilience. In addition to the recycling program, CRCL’s Native Plants Program is making substantial environmental impacts by planting over one million trees and grasses across Louisiana’s coast. This effort not only restores natural habitats but also stabilizes the coast’s fragile soils, combating erosion effectively. CRCL also fosters educational and leadership development through the Coastal Leadership Institute and CRCLectures series, which... --- - Published: 2024-12-03 - Modified: 2025-05-07 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/how-to-build-a-strong-team-culture/ - Categories: People, Resources Optimistic at Work At Online Optimism, we have a mix of fully remote team members and hybrid workers based in the same city.

Venturing into DIY projects and woodshops often feels like entering an exclusive club, where the tools of the trade seem reserved for those already fluent in their use. This barrier can be particularly pronounced for women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, who might not always find welcoming spaces in traditional woodshop environments. The need for inclusive, supportive learning environments in the fabrication world cannot be overstated. Studies show that women are significantly underrepresented in the trades, holding less than 10% of construction-related jobs, and LGBTQIA+ individuals often face additional layers of discrimination and exclusion in these fields. Enter Dykes With Drills (DWD), a beacon of change in this landscape. This pioneering organization doesn't just offer tool classes; it builds communities. We recently had the privilege of hosting Carrie Rasor, DWD's National Programs Director, who shared historical context regarding inclusion in the trades, as well as how Dykes With Drills is dismantling barriers and fostering an inclusive culture of emerging makers.

This October, Online Optimism reinvented a cherished tradition as we celebrated our 12th anniversary. Breaking from our usual December team retreat—which typically features cozy camaraderie, eggnog, secret Santa exchanges, and a tinseled tree—we decided to rally the Optimists in New Orleans for an early autumn gathering. By choosing October, we enjoyed much better weather and avoided adding holiday stress for our team, freeing them from the seasonal juggle of work and family commitments. But was this new twist a success? Absolutely—and we've got the feedback to prove it! Read on to discover the vibrant activities and thoughtful reflections that made our retreat unforgettable.

This allowed us to switch up the scenery often and treat our team to a local experience. Our retreat incorporated a dynamic blend of locations throughout the city, giving our team a taste of local life while providing opportunities for both excitement and introspection.

With complete access to the globe in the palms of our hands, marketing agencies have gotten creative in pursuing not just selling their consumers a product, but a lifestyle. Over the past decade, companies launching influencer marketing campaigns has been a prominent strategy in getting products into the hands of consumers. Influencers have the power and the platform to influence demographics in a personal and intimate way that has seldom been accessible to A-list celebrities in the past. These are some of the past few years’ most successful, creative, and innovative influencer marketing campaigns. Chamberlain Coffee x 818 Tequila Emma Chamberlain has been the Internet’s sweetheart since 2017, and her wildly popular coffee company, Chamberlain Coffee, has taken off since its launch in 2020. Part of what makes this brand so successful is the connection between Emma Chamberlain and her love of coffee. One of Emma’s hallmarks as an up-and-coming influencer back in the day was her coffee order. All around the world, teenage girls were ordering iced vanilla almond milk lattes to replicate their favorite it-girl. Emma capitalized on this trend, and Chamberlain Coffee was born.

To further add value, it’s crucial to integrate your search engine optimization (SEO) efforts with other key marketing channels such as social media, email marketing, and paid advertising for the best results. This approach allows you to create a unified and consistent digital strategy that not only enhances brand visibility but also delivers a seamless customer experience across multiple touchpoints. The Role of SEO in Multichannel Marketing Modern consumer behavior is increasingly complex and unpredictable. With customers accessing brands via multiple devices and touchpoints, businesses need a multichannel marketing strategy that integrates SEO to ensure a consistent and seamless brand experience. SEO is crucial in connecting these channels by maintaining messaging coherence and ensuring that your brand remains visible and searchable across the digital landscape. When integrating SEO into your marketing channels, you enhance brand visibility, build customer trust, and deliver a cohesive user experience throughout their journey, from awareness to loyalty. How SEO and Social Media Can Work Together SEO and social media are deeply interconnected.

While some tactics can drive short-term gains, they often fizzle out just as quickly. Instead, building a sustainable SEO strategy ensures that your website will continue to rank well over time, driving consistent traffic and results. By investing in long-term SEO strategies and creating evergreen content, your business can build a solid foundation for ongoing success. At Online Optimism, we believe in creating strategies that not only boost rankings but keep them high, ensuring long-term visibility for our clients. Ready to create a sustainable SEO plan for your business? Let us help you achieve evergreen success. What Is Sustainable SEO? Sustainable SEO refers to strategies that yield long-lasting results by following search engine guidelines and best practices. Instead of focusing on short-term, high-risk tactics like keyword stuffing or buying backlinks, sustainable SEO is rooted in building trust with search engines through consistent, high-quality content and a user-first approach. The primary goal of sustainable SEO is to build a foundation that grows stronger over time. Rather than chasing fleeting algorithm changes, this method focuses on delivering value to your audience, ensuring your website’s relevance in search engines for years to come. The Importance of Evergreen Content for SEO Evergreen content is content that remains relevant, regardless of current trends or seasons. Unlike news articles or promotional campaigns, which have an expiration date, evergreen content retains its value over time.

You just need to peek at the Human Rights Campaign’s map tracking anti-trans legislation to see that trans people can’t receive basic gender-affirming healthcare in the majority of states. Transgender folks aren’t the only people negatively impacted by this trend. “Lawmakers want to homogenize the lives that people are living, and they have this very small-minded idea of who people are and how people should look, live their lives, and should think” –Tori Cooper Director of Community Engagement for the Human Rights Campaign’s Trans Justice Initiative Historically we’ve seen that restrictions imposed on a small group are limits that can be applied to all groups in practice. The good news is: that there are impactful, thoughtful, community-led initiatives supporting trans people and the rights of all people to exist and thrive authentically. We will highlight one such organization today: the Transgender Law Center. MISSION AND CONTEXT Transgender Law Center (TLC) is a trans-led organization that provides legal support for diverse cases from individuals or class action lawsuits where they represent hundreds or thousands of people. Founded in 2002, TLC works to uphold the right of all transgender and gender-nonconforming people to make their own... --- - Published: 2024-09-24 - Modified: 2025-05-07 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/sprout-social-employee-advocacy/ - Categories: Resources, Services - Tags: Employee Engagement, LinkedIn, marketing on LinkedIn - SEO Service Types: Social Media What if you could encourage staff at your organization to share thought leadership, company news, industry insights, and more on LinkedIn? According to a study commissioned by Sprout Social, you could increase your organic reach by 85% on social media, improve staff productivity by 55%, and cut $233K in paid media spend over the next 3 years. Welcome to Employee Advocacy by Sprout Social, a tool that allows you to draft pre-approved social media posts for staff to easily share from their own accounts. Online Optimism started using Employee Advocacy in August of this year, and I’m here to share the results for any other organization that is interested in inspiring its staff to get more active on LinkedIn. How Does Sprout Social Employee Advocacy Work? Employee Advocacy is a premium solution of Sprout Social, meaning your organization must pay for a Sprout Social plan and add on Employee Advocacy. This will make the most sense for marketing agencies like ourselves, companies that manage at least some aspects of their social media in house, and organizations that would benefit significantly from employee engagement on social channels. Once your organization is set up on Advocacy, your employees will also need to sign up and connect any personal social media accounts they wish to use to post. While you can share posts across a variety of platforms, including Facebook, X, Instagram, Threads, Pinterest, TikTok, and more, we think it makes the most sense to ask staff to opt into sharing on LinkedIn.... --- - Published: 2024-08-27 - Modified: 2025-06-30 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/the-role-of-user-experience-ux-in-seo/ - Categories: Services - SEO Service Types: Design, SEO Enhancing Search Rankings through Better User Experience In today’s fiercely competitive digital landscape, the synergy between User Experience (UX) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has become more critical than ever. Gone are the days when SEO alone could catapult a website to the top of search engine results. Now, the user’s experience on your site plays a pivotal role in determining how well your pages rank. Let’s dive into how a focus on UX can transform your SEO strategy and help you climb the ranks in search engines. Understanding the Dynamic Duo: UX and SEO To fully grasp the powerful connection between UX and SEO, we need to explore what each brings to the table. User Experience (UX) is all about crafting a seamless, intuitive, and satisfying interaction for your website’s visitors. It’s the art and science of ensuring users can easily find what they’re looking for, enjoy their journey through your site, and leave with a positive impression that lingers. Search Engine Optimization (SEO), on the other hand, is the strategic process of making your website more visible and attractive to search engines like Google. By optimizing various elements, from keywords to technical aspects, SEO helps your site rise to the top of search results, driving organic traffic. What’s exciting is how these two forces intertwine. As search engines evolve, they increasingly reward websites that prioritize user experience. In fact, the quality of UX on your site is now a significant factor in determining your search rankings.

Before Musk, and X, and the terrible crypto ads? When the most important pieces of content on the Internet were 140 characters or less? Reddit’s experiencing that same kind of explosive growth right now. It’s like watching history repeat itself, but with more subreddits and fewer character limits. This growth isn’t just about numbers, though. It’s about the expanding demographic reach that makes Reddit an increasingly attractive playground for brands. Just like Twitter opened up new avenues for businesses to connect with their audience a decade ago, Reddit is now offering a fresh frontier for brand engagement. Keeping It Real: Authentic Conversations Are King One of the things that made Twitter so appealing to brands back in 2013 was the opportunity for direct, unfiltered communication with customers. No more hiding behind carefully crafted press releases – it was time to get real. Fast forward to 2024, and Reddit is offering that same kind of authenticity, but with a twist. While Twitter’s conversations were (and still are) more fleeting and broad, Reddit’s community-based model allows for deeper, more focused discussions. It’s like the difference between chatting at a busy networking event (Twitter), compared to an in-depth conversation at the afterparty (Reddit). This structure presents both challenges and opportunities for brands. It requires a more nuanced approach to engagement, but also offers the potential for more meaningful connections with highly engaged, interest-specific audiences. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good,... --- - Published: 2024-07-31 - Modified: 2025-06-12 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/advanced-link-building-techniques/ - Categories: Resources, Services - SEO Service Types: SEO Although search engine optimization is rapidly evolving, link building has withstood the test of time and remains a surefire way to improve website visibility and authority. Moving into 2025, methods of building high-quality backlinks are growing more complex and increasingly influenced by technological advancement, search engine algorithm updates, and user behaviors. This post will highlight the advanced link-building techniques for 2025, arming you with tools to get your SEO in motion and keep you ahead of the competition. The Power of Link Building Before getting into advanced techniques, it's good to learn why link-building is important. Backlinks, otherwise referred to as inbound links, indicate to the search engine that your website is a resourceful webpage. High-quality backlinks from authority sites significantly enhance the search engine ranking of your site, increase organic traffic to your website, and increase your online reputation. However, since not all backlinks are equal, search engines like Google never give priority to the links based on their quantity; rather, the quality and relevance of the links takes precedence. This drift underlines the dire need for sophisticated strategies for obtaining high-quality, contextually relevant links. Embrace Content Hubs: Creating a Central Authority Content Hubs, otherwise known as topic clusters, is a new content marketing strategy that is going to benefit you so much regarding link building. How? According to this strategy, there's a central "pillar" page that discusses the overall topic, and then many "cluster" pages that deal with related subtopics. Each cluster page will then link back to... --- - Published: 2024-07-22 - Modified: 2025-05-07 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/unlocking-the-power-of-b2b-referral-marketing/ - Categories: Resources, Services - Tags: b2b referral, b2b referral marketing, business leads, marketing, networking, referral program In the bustling world of digital marketing, connecting with the right clients sometimes feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. Although digital marketing is a new field, it remains highly competitive. That’s where the magic of B2B referral marketing comes into play. Whether you’re swamped with leads that don’t align with your business or budget, or simply looking for ways to boost your agency’s income with minimal effort, referrals can be a game-changer. In this blog post, we’ll explore the ins and outs of B2B referral marketing, the art of choosing the right referral, and how partnering with Online Optimism can transform those “not-quite-right” leads into success stories. What is B2B Referral Marketing? B2B referral marketing is the process of leveraging relationships with other businesses to generate new client leads. Unlike traditional marketing methods, which often rely on broad-reaching campaigns and extensive ad spend, referral marketing taps into the existing trust and connections between businesses. When you refer a potential client to another business, you’re essentially giving your stamp of approval, which can significantly shorten the sales cycle and increase the likelihood of conversion. The Benefits of B2B Referral Marketing Enhanced Credibility: When a trusted source refers a client, it carries more weight than a cold call or unsolicited email. The referred client is more likely to trust your recommendation and engage with the referred business. Cost-Effective: Referral marketing is often more cost-effective than traditional advertising methods. By leveraging your network, you can generate high-quality leads without the... --- - Published: 2024-07-08 - Modified: 2025-05-12 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/is-email-marketing-worth-it/ - Categories: Resources, Services - Tags: Email Marketing - SEO Service Types: Email While there are countless new apps and platforms for marketers to use, email marketing remains an irreplaceable tactic when it comes to reaching and engaging an audience effectively. Email marketing continues to thrive, outlasting much of the competition or trending apps due to its relevance, high success rate, and various strategies. Here, we will discuss the various aspects of email marketing and examine how it has evolved, as well as its benefits, challenges, and key components, to answer the question: Is email marketing worth it? The Evolution of Email Marketing Email marketing was created in 1978 as a simple, text-based message. Over time, it has evolved into a sophisticated tool aimed at targeted communication. Email marketing allows marketing companies to send personalized, visually appealing emails optimized for tablets, desktops, and mobile devices. The email marketing revolution has been fueled by data analytics, automation technologies, and technological advancements that allow messages to be more customized and personal. No other major digital marketing tactic has been so relevant for so long, making the question is email marketing worth it easy to answer. Email marketing is definitely worth it for businesses in any industry to communicate with your audience, add an additional touchpoint, personalize your messages, and remain top of mind.

Every month, 1 billion people use voice search to find answers to their queries. People increasingly use voice-activated devices such as smart speakers, smart TVs, and phones, so your content must be optimized for voice search to meet your customers where they are. We will dive deeper into voice search, and provide tips on how to optimize your content to improve your rankings. Understanding the Importance of Voice Search According to Statista, voice search is becoming more popular due to its convenience and improvements in voice recognition technology. Users are turning to voice search for a hands-free, faster, and more intuitive way of searching. As such, voice search queries tend to be longer and more conversational compared to traditional text-based searches. People are searching for answers to their questions, so intent will matter in trying to answer. This shift requires a different approach to SEO—one that prioritizes natural language processing and localized content. 6 Tips for Optimizing for Voice Search Focus on Long-Tail/Conversational Keywords: Voice search, as mentioned is presented as questions, and full sentences, so it’s best to focus on longer queries. Question-based keywords are important, for example, "how," "what," "where," "when," and "why. " Enhance Local SEO: Voice search is often used for local inquiries.

At Online Optimism, we shared a free Google Looker Studio template that would recreate UA reports as a dashboard using GA4 data for those who begrudged the shift. Of course, we also got GA4 certified, set up new reporting with GA4 for ourselves and our clients, and offered GA4 setup and integration as a service to those who didn’t already work with us. But through it all, we’ve wondered, will Universal Analytics data be deleted at some point? Now that it’s time, we’re here once again to help businesses deal with the latest changes to Google Analytics and make the most of their website data. When Will Universal Analytics Data Be Deleted? According to Google, Universal Analytics data will be permanently deleted on July 1, 2024. Google first announced this deadline in June 2024, giving organizations a little over a year to download their data. As July 1 has drawn nearer, Google has sent email reminders and included notices when you log into Analytics. What will actually happen remains to be seen. I believe Google may offer an extended grace period, using the July 1 deadline to spur people to action but then giving them a little extra time if they encountered unforeseen issues. Why? Because that’s exactly what they did with the deadline to move from UA to GA4.

Why You Need Online Theatre Marketing Producing plays and musicals requires many upfront expenses. From production rights to costume rentals, putting on a show is an expensive venture.

As such, in order for a show to be profitable, it’s important to sell as many tickets as possible. By skillfully planning and executing a digital marketing campaign for your production, you are sure to sell more seats. After all, 62. 6% of the world’s population are on social media—that leaves plenty of potential for connecting with audiences!

As the digital world grows increasingly complex, Google's AI Overviews are set to revolutionize how we find information, hoping to offer more intuitive, precise, and context-aware search results. First launched as an experiment, this new experience has now been rolled out across the United States. Let's dive into what this means for the future of search. What are AI Overviews? AI Overviews, powered by Google's Gemini, scans through massive amounts of information to find the most output and accurate answers to queries. The answers are then summarized in a digestible format saving time and effort in online search. Impact on SEO AI Overviews are shaking things up for old-school SEO. Big time. The biggest concern will be whether people will use the answer presented, or click through to learn more about the information.

Whether you’re producing a commercial, short-form content for social media, or internal videos, there are numerous steps to ensure a smooth shoot. The key to turning your vision into reality lies in pre-production planning. Pre-production planning lays the foundation for your shoot and sets the stage for the entire project's success. Let’s dive into the value of pre-production, review our pre-production checklist, and tips for success. What is Pre-Production? Before we dive into the pre-production checklist and tips for success, it’s crucial to understand this initial phase of the project. Pre-production is the organization stage before the shoot that encompasses several key activities. If done correctly, you are starting from a strong foundation for the project; however, if you don’t, you are bound to encounter troubles throughout the project. The main components of pre-production include script writing and finalization, storyboarding, casting, scheduling, budgeting, location scouting, and establishing clear communication channels. Think of pre-production as the architect’s blueprint before building; without it, the construction would lack direction and structure. Why is Pre-Production Essential? As stated above, pre-production matters. While people sometimes rush this stage because it’s not as exciting as production or post-production, this stage should not be rushed. To learn more about why it's essential, keep reading.

This year, we’re partnering with several non-profits that advocate for transgender healthcare and policies by donating, highlighting their initiatives on our social media, and educating our staff on the work they do for our communities. As part of this, we invited the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) to speak to our team about what their organization does for transgender rights. It was enlightening for our team to learn how their work benefits the transgender community, how they advocate for their rights, and how they educate the public about the importance of pro-trans legislation. The Speaker - Olivia Hunt Our presentation from NCTE was led by Olivia Hunt, who helps members of the transgender community in Washington, D. C. , through the processes involved in legally changing their gender and name. She works hard to dispel barriers and advocate against transgender discrimination in her community. She also actively speaks out against anti-LGBTQ+ violence along with her team at NCTE and is passionate about educating the public about the importance of creating pro-trans policies. What We Learned Olivia shared more information about NCTE. We were surprised to learn that this non-profit has about 21 employees, and many other non-profits operate at about that size.

In fact, it seems harder to find a magic tool that isn’t powered by generative AI. Even the FTC is getting in on the hype. In the current online ecosystem, it’s not a matter of when you should leverage generative AI to revolutionize your workflow. It’s a matter of how. The allure of “magical AI” in marketing is not just a matter of advanced technology; it’s about the promise of unparalleled personalization and engagement. As marketers, we stand on the brink of a revolution, where AI’s potential to understand and anticipate customer needs could transform the very fabric of brand-consumer interactions. This dawn of predictive analytics and machine learning doesn’t just automate tasks but redefines them, promising a future where marketing strategies are not only responsive but also predictive. With so many options available, though, it’s hard to determine which of the magical AI tools out there are actually generative AI. That’s because the term “Magic” is starting to go hand-in-hand with generative AI, along with the lowly sparkle icon getting new life in the AI landscape. While people marvel at AI’s capabilities to dissect and leverage big data, it’s crucial to anchor these technological advancements within ethical boundaries.

As AI becomes more and more powerful, so do the dangers associated with the use of AI increase. Recently, the Federal Trade Commission is more involved in the use of AI in ways that can harm consumers. What do these new AI marketing regulations mean for marketers or other content creators that use AI to supplement their content and copy? New AI regulations and Inquiries On February 9, 2024, the FTC released a data packet and press release that shows the over $10 billion that consumers have reported lost due to fraud in 2023. Since 2022, email scams have displaced text scams as the most common method that scammers reach out to their victims. Imposter scams, where the scammers pose as legitimate businesses or government entities, took the top spot; business imposters specifically caused over $700 million in losses, soaring from the $438 million in 2021. In response to this, the FTC is taking taking proactive steps to protect consumers and hopefully decrease levels of fraud in 2024. At the forefront is the “largest-ever crackdown on illegal telemarketing,” but more of the efforts of the FTC are focused on the soaring levels of imposter scams and confronting new forms of fraud based in AI. The concerns about the use of AI to deceive and defraud aren’t specific to the FTC.

It’s like deciding between cooking at home or ordering takeout – both have their perks. Let’s dive into the options so you can craft the perfect marketing plan for your business! LaurenSearch & Content DirectorOutsourcing Digital Marketing vs. Building an In-House Team The key factors to consider when deciding to outsource digital marketing or keep it in-house include time, money, value, and expertise. Time In the realm of business, time is a precious resource. Constructing and managing an in-house marketing team demands significant time and effort. From talent scouting to training and ongoing supervision, it’s a labor-intensive process. On the contrary, outsourcing digital marketing offers a more streamlined approach. With an experienced team in place, you can hit the ground running, saving time and achieving results more efficiently. However, it is worth noting that marketers at agencies typically juggle multiple clients, whereas full-time, in-house hires dedicate their efforts solely to your company. This exclusive attention could come at a higher cost, but more on that later! Money Money matters when it comes to making decisions. Building an in-house team means committing to salaries, benefits, and all that office jazz. But hold up! Outsourcing brings flexibility to the table. Agencies can customize fees to fit your needs, potentially slashing those pesky overhead costs of having a full-time crew.

That’s how many people are actively using TikTok every month. Out of every single person on the planet, one of eight people is on TikTok. Out of all internet users, a little under a quarter of them are on TikTok. In the United States, nearly half of the population is on the app, and the adults spend nearly an hour every day watching the trendy short-form videos. These statistics from Backlinko. com show the sheer power of advertising that just TikTok holds. This does not include other video-forward platforms including YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and most algorithmic feeds. Targeted feeds like can be found on TikTok also give an unprecedented boost to the advertising opportunities given to small businesses. The For You Page and Discover Feed allow small business and other entities with little platforms to compete with larger companies and creators that have massive promotion budgets. When creating content, TikTok users can spend anywhere between 30 minutes to ten hours on a single video. While some users post “candid” content that is seemingly created in the moment and requires little to no editing, others spend hours painstakingly researching, scripting, filming, recording, editing, and promoting their video. The question on everyone’s mind, however, is how these trends can translate into being feasible for a business. Most businesses can’t get away with posting only candid and unedited content, but it’s unrealistic to expect anyone to spend ten hours on a single video regardless of how good the potential... --- - Published: 2023-10-20 - Modified: 2025-06-18 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/how-to-make-video-thumbnails/ - Categories: Resources, Services - Tags: Advertising, digital marketing, Social Media, TikTok, video content, video marketing, video production, YouTube - SEO Service Types: Social Media, Video Have you ever heard the phrase, “Don’t judge a book by its cover? ” When it comes to social media posts, this statement actually works in your favor. Here’s how. What is a Thumbnail, and Why is it Important?

People will likely click on a well-made video over a blurry thumbnail or without text. How to Make Video Thumbnails For YouTube Shorts Thumbnails work differently based on the rules of the social media platform. For YouTube shorts, thumbnails are chosen automatically by YouTube. You can select which frame you like best on the mobile platform but not create your own. If you want a specific image, include it in the video and select that frame for the thumbnail.

For Gen Z, DEI is a greater concern and more highly valued than it has been for previous generations. Over 60% of Gen Zers surveyed believe diversity benefits society, and almost 80% believe brands should have active DEI efforts. Many of us have heard that reading fiction can increase our empathy. Studies have also indicated that imagining positive interactions with people from stigmatized groups can help decrease prejudice and negative responses toward those groups. I would argue that a DEI book club can help to engage our imaginations and expose ourselves to the joys, challenges, and humanity of a diverse range of people. As we have continued working to advance our DEI initiatives over the years at Online Optimism, our DEI book club (called “On the Same Page”) has come to epitomize what has worked best so far in our workplace—namely, programming that is led by our staff, offers flexible participation, and is supported financially by our organization.

Instagram’s algorithm might not be showing your content to as many people, due to recent changes to its algorithm. Read on to find out how you can beat the algorithm and get your post in front of your audience. What is the Instagram Algorithm Like in 2024? Instagram’s algorithm, the artificial intelligence that determines which posts get seen by whom, has undergone some changes recently, particularly as Instagram continues to put a lot of emphasis on Reels. Instagram announced its priorities in 2024 as: “Inspire people to be creative,” “Help people discover things they love,” “Spark connections between people,” and its algorithm will put those priorities into practice. As these changes take effect, you may be noticing an Instagram reach drop where your posts are not getting shown to as many users, and engagement could be dropping too!

Acknowledge your Blind Spots When blindspots are left unassessed and unaddressed, your DEI efforts are undermined. The first step towards your DEI program is introspection. If you’re unwilling to examine your thoughts and unlearn biases, your DEI program will never work to its fullest potential. Learn to Recognize Biases Bias is unavoidable; we all have it. You must learn about your internalized biases and how to recognize them. This is a long process, so be prepared to mess up and take accountability for those mistakes. Don’t beat yourself up, though. If you have active intentions to grow, people will notice. Be an Active Learner Learning is not passive; you must be active in your learning journey. Seek out information and educate yourself. There are a plethora of resources available.

These volunteers (who are sometimes paid for their work) show up to their assigned polling location to execute various tasks that make the process go as quickly and smoothly as possible for voters. Poll workers stay busy through their location’s voting hours, usually arriving as early as 5 a. m. and staying until 9 p. m. to ensure everything is in order. It’s vital that we have enough poll workers across the country. Jane Slusser, who works for Power the Polls, said, “We’re seeing already in the early primaries that there have been places that polling locations have been closed due to poll worker shortages, or there’s been the threat of closing polling locations. ” Without enough polling locations staffed and prepared for election day, it becomes increasingly difficult for voters to have an accessible place to vote. As American Progress points out, “all of this can lead to disenfranchisement and reduced trust in elections, especially among communities of color and other marginalized communities facing entrenched barriers to voting. ” While poll workers most often volunteer during elections on Saturdays, they are also needed every other year on Election Day, which falls on a Tuesday. Unfortunately, it is difficult for poll workers who are also employed to volunteer at these elections, which are likely the most important ones to have staffed. Knowing this, we see a need for businesses to step up... --- - Published: 2022-10-04 - Modified: 2025-05-07 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/the-importance-of-diversity-and-inclusion-in-design/ - Categories: People, Resources - Tags: diversity, diversity and inclusion, Inclusion, UI design, Web Design - SEO Service Types: Design Over the past few years, you may have noticed a massive change in the digital marketing industry as it has become more diverse and inclusive. In the summer of 2020, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement gained momentum with the George Floyd protests leading to social unrest that shook the United States. The movement influenced conversations about the lack of representation of people of color and minority groups across the digital marketing industry. According to Meta Research, 59% of people say they are more loyal to brands that stand for diversity and inclusion. Integrating diversity and inclusion in design benefits both the brand and the target audience. What Is Diversity and Inclusion in Design? Diversity and inclusion are critical to the success of your marketing campaigns. Unfortunately, they have become buzzwords that many people don’t understand. Keep reading to learn more. Diversity and Inclusion Diversity is the presence of a variety of different communities of people. Diversity in your marketing designs is not as simple as including one to two people of color on your website. The purpose of diversity in your digital design assets is to help authentically connect with your audience. Inclusion is the diverse perspectives that create methods to connect with diverse communities. Inclusive design means creating digital design assets that consider and accommodate the needs of people from all backgrounds and abilities. Inclusive design creates better representation and communication, which allows information to be more equitably shared across digital marketing platforms.

In a post-pandemic 2022, the phrase is more potent than ever. The rise of social media, remote work, e-commerce, and the metaverse has shifted many organizations’ focus from brick and mortar to click-and-order business models. Whether you’re a business, institution, or influencer, content creation is integral to establishing your online brand. However, with over 720,000 hours of video uploaded to YouTube daily, it is increasingly challenging to stand out online. Thankfully, YouTube has integrated a new tool that allows creators to expose content gaps. What is a content gap? Content gaps are voids in the content market that need to be filled. YouTube analyzes what your audience searches for. If many people in your audience are searching a specific topic, but there are relatively few results for this search, YouTube will identify it as a content gap. With this insight, content creators can curate their uploads to cater to what people in their audience are searching for in real-time. This allows creators to stand out in less populated areas instead of uploading blindly and hoping that their content meets the needs of their audience.

Using online advertising allows you to broadcast your business to the places your audience most frequently visits. During the awareness stage, the client is considering their own pain points; this is something you should be aware of as well. Some questions to consider: What are my clients’ goals? What are my clients’ most common challenges? What will happen if my clients don’t take action? Answering these questions will help you look like an authoritative source that customers can trust. You want to have an enticing ad campaign that shows your business is knowledgeable on the subject of Facebook ads for architects.

This is because it has always been surrounded by technology. However, this has played a significant role in the decrease of their attention span. The Gen Z attention span is a mere 8 seconds. Due to this decrease, social media platforms have adapted to maintain their attention. Who is Gen Z? Gen Z, sometimes referred to as the “iGeneration,” is the group of individuals born between the mid-1990s and early 2000s. These individuals were born during the rise of the internet and have been surrounded by technology ever since. Gen Z is incredibly good at adapting to new devices and apps due to these being something that has been around their entire lives. This generation poses an immense opportunity for businesses to market. Most of Gen Z are graduates or have entered the workforce, meaning they will have an income to spend. Being a profitable group means they are a promising group for companies to market towards. In addition, because they are one of the most significant social media users, businesses can use social media for marketing their products. Need short-form video? Our Optimists are ready to help!

Yet a stream of ethical questions surround NFTs... . which is why it took me this long to make one. Introducing Blossom As Sr. Director of Design Innovation, one of my tasks is to figure out what’s going on with new technologies and see what I can learn for them to better inform our team, our clients, and our communities. When it came to creating an NFT, I drafted and prototyped several ideas. From 3D structures to digital illustrations, I could not put my finger on something that felt meaningful enough for me to put my name on. But any designer who knows me can tell you that if there’s something I live for, it’s gradients. If I could use gradients in all of my work I would (looking at you, Web3). With gradients as my medium, I looked towards nature and felt the sun shining, the cool breeze, and the blossoming colors of Spring.

Beyond adding yet more cute animal photos to the internet (a laudable goal), you can earn money from your dog account via an influencer marketing model. If you think your puppy has star potential or you just want the internet to appreciate your dog as much as you do, here are five tips to get your dog headed toward Instagram stardom. 1. Decide What and How Often to Post When you’re getting started on Instagram, you have to decide what to post and how often. Obviously, you want to post photos of your dog, but will your dog account have a polished look or a more casual vibe? Will you focus on posed images with props and outfits, or will you take candid shots of your dog just being a dog? There are no right or wrong answers here, but keep in mind that you may eventually face a choice between quality and quantity. Do you want to post more professional content less frequently or the opposite? You don’t need to be a photography pro in order to have a successful dog Instagram: as long as you find some decent lighting and have a smartphone, you should be set to take Instagram-quality photos of your pup.

Women’s history is something that is incredibly important but often gets passed over. The history of women in marketing is just as important as the rest of history. Women’s History Month did not get nationalized until 1980, and women have only had the right to vote for 101 years, which is a concise amount of time when you think about it. The marketing industry used to be male-dominated, but as of 2019, women working in the industry was at an all-time high, with 64% of the industry made up of women. Women have had a long history in marketing, dating back to 1880, and as time continues, we will only see more women entering and thriving in the industry. In honor of International Women’s History Month, here is a brief history of women in marketing. 5 Female Pioneers in Marketing Mathilde C. Weil In 1880 Mathilde C. Weil started the M. C. Weil Agency 20 years after the Civil War and years before J. Walter Thompson started his agency, J. Walter Thompson Co. , which received recognition as the first advertising agency. There isn’t much information surrounding Weil’s agency, seeing as women didn’t have any rights, and the male-owned company likely pushed her out of the spotlight. Though there isn’t much information about her, she paved the way for the women who succeeded her. Weil died in 1942 and she was not inducted into the Advertising Hall of Fame... --- - Published: 2021-01-19 - Modified: 2025-05-12 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/lgbtqia-dating-app-ads/ - Categories: People, Resources - Tags: emerging social media apps, LBGTGIA+, Target Audience - SEO Service Types: Search & Ads, Social Media Dating apps have become one of the most popular ways for people to meet and mingle, and more recently, ripe for advertisers looking for a new way to reach specific targets. So, when researching creative new avenues to reach our client’s target audience of gay men, Online Optimism turned to the world of dating apps. As their platforms have evolved, many dating apps have begun offering advertising services. However, in researching specific dating apps, we were unable to find thorough marketing studies on how to create campaigns through the apps nor any of the results they garnered. While dating apps are now part of the social landscape, for the advertiser wanting to use them and use them well, there is a scarcity of information. Additionally, dating apps have become extremely niche and siloed when it comes to the LGBTQIA+ community. So, when planning our campaign targeting gay men, we had access to a small amount of data because of the size of the LGBTQIA+-specific dating app market. After advertising on gay dating apps for the better part of a year, we wanted to shed some light on our experiences and share our impressions of the LGBTQIA+ dating app ads scene. Where's the Information? The most glaring problem we encountered was that the information about the LGBTQIA+ audiences was so few and far between with almost no demographic information related to them, let alone information related to their dating app preferences and use habits.

In 2020, a series of important social movements collided with a global pandemic that caused major shifts to the ways that people around the world live and share their lives via the internet—and many people began to reconsider the impacts of social media activism. Following the onset of state-mandated social distancing measures, responses to the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade, and countless others by police officers and white supremacists coalesced into the widespread revival of the Black Lives Matter movement. Millions across the world took to the streets in protest, while some of those people and others voiced their frustrations, spread resources, and raised money for racial justice organizations and victims’ families online. Meanwhile, terms like “antiracist,” “performative activism,” and “social media activism” were widely spread and popularized both on- and offline. Social media activism is a catch-all term for activism that utilizes online platforms to work toward the goals of social or political movements. A Brief History of Social Media Activism For the past decade, social media has been used to bring attention to movements all over the world. In 2011, activists across Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and other Middle Eastern countries who were involved in the Arab Spring uprisings used social media—particularly, Twitter—to spread local and global awareness of their protests. Through these efforts, they created a massive grassroots movement that led to the disintegration of undemocratic regimes in Tunisia and Egypt.

A headshot typically refers to a photograph where a person is shown from their heads to just past their shoulders. A professional headshot, specifically, is a photograph that you can show off to your boss, colleagues, and clients in order to confidently represent you or your business. Having a professional headshot of yourself is becoming more and more of a necessity in the modern digital age. However a lot of people either don’t have one or one that is of a professional quality. Some examples of where professional headshots can come into play are: your personal LinkedIn account and various social media, about and staff pages on websites, and for online marketing material where someone needs a photo of a person to go along with a quote. If you’re a company, it’s nice for people to see your staff. People like seeing faces. It makes companies seem more trustworthy and connected. It says we’re not a faceless corporation. We’re people, and we care. Headshots are impressions and impressions are everything. You might be the nicest, most competent person in the world, but if you have a bad headshot or none at all then people might not want to see you or do business with you. Here at Online Optimism, we know the importance of having nice professional photos because we offer a 2 hour photoshoot session as a part of our package of New Orleans social media services.... --- - Published: 2020-07-01 - Modified: 2025-05-12 - URL: https://onlineoptimism.com/blog/donate-elevate-contributing-to-our-community/ - Categories: News - Tags: Culture, Donations, nonprofits Where Are We Now? “When you learn, teach.

Social media websites and apps are like different personalities, each having their own method of communication, features, and values. We spend every day on these sites, learning their styles and vibes in a way that we’ve come to identify them as people. With the recent craze for astrology, we decided to take our intimate knowledge of social media and decide which star sign each website would have for its sun (we’ll let someone else determine their moons and risings). Astrological Signs as Social Media Sites Aries: Facebook Aries is passionate and confident, facing challenges with bold and direct ambition. Nothing matches the cheery disposition complicated by a quick temper more than Facebook, home of distant relatives commenting “BEAUTIFUL PICTURE, TELL JACKIE HELLO! ” and unknown trolls shouting their conspiracy theories on viral posts. Both Aries and Facebook are somewhere you can go when you’re looking for a fight, but can also find upbeat support and positivity for life. Fittingly, Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and Facebook is largely known as The Social Media Website (sorry, MySpace).

We’re pretty excited about launching our company and our website, and we know that looking back on this first blog post years from now, our organization will still building off the ideals that we’ll write about today. Online Optimism was created because of a need we saw in the world. There are millions of businesses in the United States (27 million, to be exact. ) And there are tens of thousands of advertising agencies. But all of the organizations that our team member had worked at only offered cookie-cutter experiences. For SEO, they would accomplish the same standard quick link-builds and optimization tricks that would enable easy (but not long-term) growth, and send the client on their way. For social media, the race for increasing the number of likes dominated the much more important task of looking at the numbers and analyzing how to increase ROI from these fans. Website builders would spit out a design that didn’t take your branding into account, and then upsell you on services that should always come for free. We believe differently. We want to get to know your organization, inside and out. We believe in our knowledge of everything involved with the internet marketing world, but only your know your company. We will work with your knowledge, expertise and the years of experience that you have running your business, and give it the best possible presence online.

They came to Online Optimism originally seeking a new website, but continued to partner with us for ongoing SEO services. After seeing success with their search engine optimization efforts, Elysian Events added Meta Ads to their marketing mix to drive additional website traffic. The key objectives were to increase website visibility, enhance content marketing, and drive higher-quality traffic that would result in wedding catering inquiries. Ad Targeting Using Meta’s advertising platform, we developed a strategic approach to reach couples planning weddings in the New Orleans area. Our targeting focused on: Users whose online habits indicated they were recently engaged and in the early stages of wedding planning Individuals interested in event planning, family gatherings, and corporate event coordination We crafted visually appealing ads showcasing Elysian’s distinctive catering options, including their signature oyster bars and locally-sourced cuisine. The ad creative highlighted real weddings and events catered by Elysian, emphasizing the company’s ability to create memorable culinary experiences for special occasions.

The first company is a NYC-based, venture-backed company in the home goods space that sought a comprehensive Reddit strategy to expand its digital presence beyond traditional social media channels. With a growing online customer base and increasing competition in the furniture market, the brand needed a way to authentically engage with potential customers who were already discussing office setup needs. They reached out to Online Optimism to develop this strategy from the ground up. The second company, Buddy Punch, is an established SaaS business founded in 2013, providing time tracking software. They approached Online Optimism with similar goals of getting their name into conversations on Reddit and creating connections between Buddy Punch and potential customers through engagement. Despite having a solid customer base and strong product reviews, both companies had no Reddit presence, missing opportunities to connect with their target audience who were actively on the platform. Through a tailored Reddit strategy that emphasized authentic engagement through direct conversation and community building, we helped establish a meaningful presence on Reddit, generating significant comment karma and building the foundation for long-term brand authority in their industry. Both clients’ current subreddits, managed by Online Optimism Insights Prior to this partnership, the NYC-based company already had organic conversations happening on the platform.

Their challenge was to provide timely, relevant messaging at various points in the process, addressing concerns, answering questions, and maintaining enthusiasm. Insights Online Optimism crafted a multi-layered email marketing strategy that included both one-off emails and four different drip campaigns. Each campaign was designed to reach prospective students and their parents at specific stages of the application process, providing tailored content to guide them toward the next step. By delivering relevant messaging at the right time, this approach helped keep interest high and increased overall enrollment in the program. Sections of the Student “Started Not Submitted” Funnel Emails Solution First, the audience journey was segmented into specific stages that became the foundation for the four drip funnels. Once a lead filled out a form indicating interest, they entered one of two tailored drip funnels, sharing more information about the program as well as the experiences of past students attending the Tulane Pre-College Program. These two funnels took slightly different forms and were custom designed for either parent or student leads.

Understanding Their Customers We facilitated candid conversations among their team members to get a sense of how each of them perceives the company and their work. By cross-referencing their perceptions to available customer data, we found common themes to base the updated brand on. Opening the Design Process Additional exercises brought the team into the design process and considered individual aesthetic preferences paired with our expertise in best practices for brand identity design. Drafting a Roadmap Our workshop produced a comprehensive roadmap to their new name and brand identity and goals for the finished product. A Name that Rises Above Online Optimism presented the RJ Whyte team with a spectrum of options that reflected key insights from our workshop. Additionally each option considered competitors and a digital footprint so their team could make a comprehensive decision. Additional iterations included mood boards and digital insights. This resulted in Stratus Firm. From the Proto-Indo-European root, stere- and the Latin stratus, which mean “to spread”, we highlight the company’s expansion to new services, new audiences, and new geographies. The name also alludes to stratosphere and the stratified layers that compose it, just as Stratus Firm has carefully crafted a seamless process that has brought them to new heights.

Color Palette Warm and saturated, Randy Krause Schmidt’s palette centers a vibrant blue supported with two cheerful yellows and a bright pop of orange-red. A very light creamy yellow for backgrounds and a dark navy (rather than black) for body text further enhance the warmth of this welcoming, fun color palette. Typography Randy Krause Schmidt’s typographic system uses a combination of Futura PT and Le Monde Courrier. Futura provides a strong balance to the organic shapes of the RKS logo; paired with Le Monde Courrier, a bouncy sans serif with a warm, rounded, slightly textured look, RKS’ typography is creative, professional, and unique. Logos Randy Krause Schmidt’s principal logo, which uses an illustrated portrait of Randy himself, highlights Randy as the center of this personal brand, while handwritten typography for Randy’s name further contributes to the unique, cheerful look of the brand.

We are honored to be recognized, and we’re thankful that our partnership with Dragonfly Café could make it happen. You can read more about the Indigo Awards here. Colorful Branding for a New Café Starting from scratch, our design team created a new brand for Dragonfly Café that focused visually on delight, warmth, and familiarity. Color Palette Dragonfly Café’s color palette bridges the gap between professionalism and warmth. It’s warm and friendly with its saturated accent color, but still maintains an organic and natural quality with earthy tones. Typography With the combination of an accessible hand-drawn font for headings and a simplified sans serif for body text, Dragonfly Café’s typography displays the brand’s welcoming, warm, and familiar aspects. Logos The Dragonfly Café logo depicts a dragonfly in flight, a symbol of the transformational journeys of the students and young adults who work there. The logo is familiar and intricate all at once—the image of the dragonfly is easy to discern, but is also very detailed and whimsical with the touches of watercolor. We produced four versions of the logo to ensure its usability at any size or in any space; we also created single-color variations of the logo for smaller and simpler uses. Dragonfly Café’s new logos Illustrations Dragonfly Café’s brand includes watercolor illustrations and dashed lines as additional branding elements.

After a few rounds of review, our Design team built a new brand that was professional yet warm, displaying a conservative sensibility moderated by a sense of modern dynamism. Color Palette Florman Tannen’s palette bridges the gap between professionalism and warmth. Fresh and nimble with its cool, saturated accent color, but still grounded in a conservative sensibility with its otherwise muted mood, this palette fits elegantly between traditional and current. Typography Florman Tannen’s typographic system uses a combination of Libre Baskerville and Hind fonts. Based on the original Baskerville font designed in the 18th century, Libre Baskerville, gives a bit of warmth to the initial typographic design but still maintains the elegance and conservatism of a widely recognized professional font. Paired with Hind, a contemporary, simple, airy sans serif for body text, Florman Tannen’s typography displays both its modern, current and professional, conservative aspects. Logos The primary horizontal logos—one with and one without a tagline—serve as the central brand imagery for Florman Tannen. Alternate versions of the logo, including a stacked version and a visual mark, round out the logo system for multiple use cases.

Core products and product groups also had their own campaigns to capture users that were higher in the funnel. And in March of 2020, when the economy hit a downturn due to COVID-19, ORACLE Lighting’s sales dropped and had a ROAS of only 650% over a full month.

Each online platform has developed its own rulebook, and getting it right takes real know-how. Google, Facebook, Bing – they all have unique requirements when it comes to promoting healthcare services, especially addiction treatment. These platforms didn’t create strict rules just for fun. They serve countless vulnerable individuals daily, and that responsibility weighs heavily. Mess up these guidelines, and you’re not just looking at a slap on the wrist – we’re talking serious stuff like account shutdowns, rejected ads, or worse, legal trouble. That’s why most platforms now demand LegitScript certification, making sure treatment centers are up to par. The Big Players: What You Need to Know Google Ads: Google, being the most widely used search engine today, has some of the toughest rules when it comes to advertising addiction treatment services. You’ll often need special certifications, and there may be restrictions on where and how your ads appear. Bing Ads: Bing’s policies are similar to Google’s, with requirements for certification and careful attention to the content in your ads. Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram): With billions of users daily, Meta’s platforms can be great for reaching your audience, but their policies on addiction-related ads are very strict. Ads must be properly approved and can only target adults.

We’ve seen century-old corporations rubbing virtual shoulders with Silicon Valley upstarts, employee subreddits rivaling official brand channels, and even a few instances where the “anti-fan” clubs outstrip the official company presence. It’s a digital Wild West out there, folks, and we’ve mapped it all out for you. So whether you’re a social media manager looking to boost your brand’s online engagement, a curious Redditor wondering how your favorite companies stack up, a social media manager looking to hire an agency to help them manage your presence (we’re available here) or just someone who loves a good deep dive into internet culture, you’re in for a treat – assuming you love a ton of data.

They prepare strategies to negotiate raises, discuss incompetent management, and hope the company does great to boost their own career. Sometimes, all that is done in one post! HR departments are rarely in the conversation about social media strategy, and almost never beyond that. This is a big mistake. When monitored, employee subreddits are essentially a crystal ball into your most outspoken staff. They provide countless answers, in a far more transparent fashion than the “anonymous survey” of yesteryear. They’re even more important than internal communications, since many of these message boards encourage conversation with the company’s customers as well, letting them in on the backroom chatter they normally wouldn’t be able to hear. If you’re lucky enough to have an employee subreddit, you’ll want to check it daily to make sure you can do your job as Director of HR, Chief of People, or another internal facing role.

Log in to Google Ads or create a new account. Once logged in, head to Tools, Planning then Keyword Planning Click Discover New Keywords There are two ways in which you can look up keywords; starting with a website or with keywords. Start With Keywords If you’re familiar with the keywords you want to target, you can search for them directly in this tab. Tip: Be sure to try and input keywords that show purchase intent. For example, “drain cleaner” is probably going to have a lot of volume, but it won’t have much bottom-line impact for a plumbing company. “Drain cleaning service” would be a better keyword that signifies purchase intent and is more relevant to your plumbing business. Start With a Website If you already have an optimized website with content about your business, its products, and services, then you can simply start your keyword search by pasting in your website URL. Geo If your services are local to certain areas, you’ll want to specify which geos you want Google Ads to pull the search volume and bids from.

That’s before you realize just how vast their platform is, including millions engaging daily in over a hundred thousand active communities. As the CEO of Online Optimism, I’ve seen firsthand how businesses can leverage Reddit’s unique structure to their advantage.

In order to best utilize any social media platform, a well thought out strategy is key. With over 191 million daily active users, Snapchat has become yet another social media platform to look out for. Snapchat’s engaging platform allows users to share short videos that are typically only live for 24 hours. This means users are continuously creating exciting new content to go on the platform each day. So why do I need a Snapchat advertising agency for my business? Snapchat users are young and highly engaged with the platform. Given that users share their own content, the platform feels more organic to users and provides them with plenty of opportunity to engage with your brand. As the demographic for Snapchat is aimed at younger people, you may find that your target audience is easier to reach on this platform in comparison to other social media platforms that may have a wider audience. With more than 60% of 13–34 year old in the US with smartphones using Snapchat, it is definitely the platform you need to be on if that is the right audience for your business. Social Media TeamAs an experienced Snapchat advertising agency, we guarantee that our social media team can get you to the audience that matches your brand!

It’s rising in popularity at a rate that we never expected and we’re seeing more young people on the platform now than ever before. But what is it? TikTok allows its users to share short videos of themselves acting out popular memes, dance crazes, or viral challenges. Many celebrities get involved with TikTok challenges and create viral videos using the platform. Engagement on TikTok is high as users create content related to their favorite brands. With the rise of TikTok, many businesses are utilizing the social media app to reach out to younger audiences. As the sixth largest social network with 800 million active monthly users worldwide, TikTok has definitely made a huge splash in the social media scene and there’s no sign of the platform slowing down. Tons of young people actively engage with a number of brands on TikTok and TikTok boasts a high engagement rate of 52. 1%, much higher than most other social media networks. But how can a TikTok marketing campaign benefit your business? If you’re a business that targets 18–24 year olds, TikTok is where you need to be as 42% of the app’s users are between 18 & 24. Our social media team is well-versed in all social media platforms and knows how to target your audience, create videos, and develop short-term and long-term strategies.

Google Shopping ads are the perfect way to boost sales and move inventory out of your store. These ads have been proven to increase visits to your website and even bring in foot traffic to your brick-and-mortar location. Google Shopping ads contain information about your what you’re trying to sell, where a customer can buy the product, and what else they can get their hands on if they come to your e-commerce site. Google Shopping ads have become the new digital storefronts, giving potential customers a full shopping experience that can only be compared to visiting the stores themselves. Even better still, you only pay for a Google Shopping ad when someone clicks through to your website or views your local inventory. This pay-per-click advertising means that you won’t get bogged down by unnecessary costs that don’t lead to sales. Google Shopping campaigns display more than just ad text. Display a photo of the actual product you’re trying to sell, the product’s name and price, the name of your store, and so much more. Google Shopping ads are more complex than a simple text ad or pay-per-click campaign. To effectively run a campaign and sell products, it’s best to have an AdWords certified professional working on your account.

Effective Instagram marketing takes a lot of effort, and many businesses don’t have the time to manage an account themselves. Success on this platform requires much more than a keen eye for color, lighting, and selfies. It requires careful planning, platform knowledge, an understanding of how algorithms work, and much more. To grow in followers, you have to strategically plan a way to communicate what your business does to potential customers. Instagram marketing is all about branding and sharing your business practices in a visual two-way conversation.

While yesterday’s advertising was very much wrapped around video marketing through the medium of television, today’s marketing has transitioned to well-crafted YouTube videos. Why does video advertising and specifically YouTube marketing in New Orleans work so well? Videos allow brands to tell a larger-than-life story that is visually appealing and can reach across different media platforms. YouTube is not just for individual creators anymore. This platform is great for brands, too. There are near endless opportunities for you to expand your brand’s personality and promote your video marketing in New Orleans and beyond on this platform. Furthermore, you can educate your audience about what it is you do and what you represent. From a how-to instructional video to an interview with members of your team, YouTube videos take all different forms. There are options to create a channel following, have meaningful advertisements to show for related videos, or link YouTube videos to your own website. As an agency, our goal isn’t to necessarily make your brand’s videos go “viral. ” Although viral videos can lead to momentary fame or brief spikes in traffic, they rarely provide companies and brands the return on investment they are looking for.

Running a business is hard work, whether you’re just starting out or your company has been around for decades.

Banner advertisements and other display ad formats are great for building brand awareness, generating leads, and retargeting audiences. When text alone isn’t enough to deliver your message, banner and display ads can help you stand out from the crowd. If you’ve ever clicked an ad displayed on a website, you already know what a banner ad is and just how effective it can be. A banner ad is a kind of display ad, or an ad that incorporates visual elements instead of relying on text alone. Banner ads can use images, text, buttons, animation, and video. When someone clicks one of these ads, it takes them from the page where the ad appears to your website or a landing page of your choice. But how do you make an effective banner ad, and once you have it, how do you get it displayed on the right websites to the right people? Online Optimism has the design and digital advertising skills to see your display ads through from start to finish.

Many companies today recognize the importance of having a presence on social media platforms. It has become a common understanding that if most people are on social media, then businesses should be too. However, simply having a presence is not enough. The real question is, how many businesses are truly making the most of these social media sites to attract, engage, and retain customers? Unfortunately, not all businesses are maximizing the potential of social media. There are various reasons for this. Some companies lack the marketing experience or technical capabilities needed to effectively utilize social media platforms. They may not have a clear understanding of the best strategies to employ, the types of content to create, or the methods to engage with their target audience. As a result, their efforts on social media often fall short of producing the desired outcomes. Time constraints also pose a challenge for many businesses. Crafting compelling social media content, engaging with fans and customers, and managing paid advertisements on these platforms require a significant investment of time and resources. Small and medium-sized businesses, in particular, may struggle to allocate the necessary resources to fully leverage social media. This is where Online Optimism comes in.
