Interactive Marketing Agency | St. Louis, MO | The Loud Few

In today’s digitally connected world there is ample opportunity to deliver your brand message to millions of users rapidly and effectively. The ever-expanding number of networks through which you can distribute branded content, and the option to deliver your message in multiple rich media formats gives you plenty of creative freedom in what you can do with your brand online.

Perhaps one of the most important and identifiable elements of a brand’s identity is their logo. And if you stop to think for a minute about all the places a logo can appear, you begin to realize that logo design and usage can be one of the most important branding decisions a business makes.

Interactive design is a whole different animal than design for static media. If you want to test this theory, try taking your latest business card or brochure and using it as a website design. All the elements are in place – your logo, details of your business, and your contact info – so why wouldn’t it be effective?

There are a few things that are underappreciated in life: Easy Cheese, Shaq’s rap career, and great web development. We’re still pondering how the world missed the genius of the first two, but the latter we can understand – most of the world doesn’t speak the language of the web so you can hardly expect them to appreciate it.

Fortunately, at The Loud Few, we have a number of super-talented individuals who not only know how to speak the language of the web; they know how to really make it sing.

Remember those rumors during the early days of e-commerce that online shopping would completely replace brick-and-mortar retail stores? Well, a total e-commerce revolution hasn’t occurred, but online shopping has taken off like a rocket, and the increasing trend towards online shopping doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.

In the early years of the internet, information was largely static and updates to website content were infrequent. If you needed to make a change to your website you paid a “webmaster” to do it for you since, after all, you didn’t understand HTML geek-speak.

This relationship worked back then because your audience wasn’t accustomed to being connected to the internet 24/7, and they didn’t demand “real-time” information. But as web technologies and internet users have advanced, it’s become essential to be able to control your own website content at all times, from any location.

The world is going mobile, and so are advertisements, applications and websites. People have access to the internet and rich multimedia applications right at their fingertips, and they have the ability to connect with your business in a number of ways at any time, from any location. Smart phones have finally reached the mainstream and an opportunity exists now, perhaps more than ever, to deliver a mobile experience that they will remember.

Some people see the phrase “application development” and wonder “what can I do with that?” In reality, a more interesting (and challenging) question would be “what can’t I do with application development?” We challenge you to come up with an idea that can’t come to fruition through an application.

Whether you’d looking to integrate with existing systems, build a mobile application, or develop the next big social network, our developers can take your idea and give it legs. Or arms. Or whatever you want…

Since over 90% of internet users find websites through search, and over 70% of those clicks go to the organic search results, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an integral part of digital strategy that has proven to be one of the most cost-effective forms of online marketing.

PPC advertising presents the unique opportunity to begin driving targeted search traffic to your website immediately (it’s like flipping on a light switch). And since you only pay when someone clicks on your ad, the return on investment is often much higher than with traditional forms of paid advertising.

With all the press coverage that social media websites have garnered lately, it’s easy to see that the world is all a flutter with tweeting, buzzing, following and friending. Social networks have grown up, and it’s not just teens and tweens who are sharing their life in the online space. In fact, the age 35 and up demographic is the fastest growing segment of social media users.

Now this is a form of interactive marketing that needs no introduction. Unless you’ve been using owl post instead of email for the last decade, the odds are you’ve probably received two things in your inbox:

• The Bill Gates chain letter
• An email marketing offer

While you might be astonished to discover that Mr. Gates isn’t actually sharing his fortune with people who dutifully spread that email, you might be even more surprised to discover just how effective an email marketing campaign can be.

We don’t need to spare any screen real estate telling you how important mobile devices have become to consumers. Chances are you’ve used one in the last 24 hours – As has your spouse, your child, and even Grandma.

Mobile phone usage has soared in the last few years and “smart phones” have finally delivered on being smart, making the dream of delivering targeted ads based on a users location and search behavior a reality.
