Digital marketing

digital marketing helping you hit your target every time

As the old adage goes “Find a job you love and you will never work another day in your life” could never have been more true!

So it seemed obvious that now was the time to make a permanent move over to digital as working at Thomson Directories for Thomweb the online directory back in 2000 the year of the dot-com boom if you remember that? Had given Corrie-Dee a taste and passion for all things digital, and a nod towards what was to come.

They can help your company to identify areas you need to target, run test campaigns to see what works/doesn’t work.

In digital marketing – You have to be flexible as the digital landscape is so fast paced and fast moving they advise you test and run small test campaigns as a one size fits all does not work in digital what might work for one business won’t neccessarily work for another. It depends on the company, the product their offer (if they have an offer) so throw a bit of budget at it to see what works/doesn’t work and stop what isn’t working and spend more on what is.

Corrie D Marketing offers boutique agency services so the same services as any digital marketing agency but on a more personalised level and offers unique services they have invested in.

Business owners cannot do this themselves! Because they do not have the investment in the software to do this.

Corrie D Marketing has invested heavily in software and systems, to help businesses stop wasting their marketing budget on the traditional routes to market using expensive, traditional marketing methods ie TV, Press & Print. Their aim is to stop business owners and marketing departments, taking the machine gun approach to marketing.

For most businesses EVERYONE IS NOT  your target audience.

And a newspaper ad is not targeting your target audience in the same way that you can, with the many and various forms of online ads and using our unique two step lead generation system you will never miss another hot lead, ever again.

People have more channels than ever before and you MUST ensure you are where your customers hang out and that is online, browsing websites, hanging out on apps ie dating apps, music apps, social media networks etc but most importantly you have got to be where your customers are and they are more than likely on Facebook!

You need a way to remain “top of mind” so that when someone who is perhaps researching the market online that it is YOU they choose when they decide to buy and CDM can help with this with their remarketing ad campaigns via their award-winning RTB platform.

Their aim is to deliver your marketing and advertising to ONLY your target audience to help keep your overall costs down and generate a better quality of lead that is more likely to convert. Working with their discerning clientele they visit clients in their premises on a one to one personal level.

OUR BRAND STORY

Having identified at an early age (coming from an entrepreneurial background) she knew that she wanted to be her own boss and run her own business from the tender young age of 11.

Initially studying Business Studies at John Niven College of Further Education, Stranraer. But realised early on the course was not creative enough and had a yearning to work in the media.

So after a change of courses and relocating to study an HND in Advertising & Public Relations at Glasgow Central College of Commerce. And moved to Ayrshire to live, as a fond lover of the beaches and countryside that Ayrshire has to offer, but also a lover of the city and the nightlife. This gave the best of both worlds. Talk about having your cake and eating it!

Corrie-Dee quickly worked her way up the corporate ladder and was a deputy manager at The Daily Mail by the age of 31.  Starting off her career in the local press in Ayrshire selling display ads and property supplements and worked on Home Improvements and Motors sections, but moved over to the national newspapers and gained a phenomenal amount of experience happily working at the Daily Mail for 12 years and in the media for almost 25 years!

Launching new sections ie Auctions and Antiques, Business to Business and Franchising and travelling the UK with the Daily Mail Franchise show.

Working for companies ie Dunfermline Press, News International and The Sun to Thomson Directories, being head-hunted by Associated Press to work at the Metro and then moving on to The Daily Mail she has enjoyed a fabulous career in Glasgow and the fantastic social scene for lunches and nights out, but always loved to come home to the beaches and surrounding countryside.

So after being made redundant from a job that she loved, Corrie-Dee managed to realise the burning ambition for all things digital.

“Multi-platform, multi-media opportunities translate into multi-choices. Social media and the Internet, in general, have turned life into an interconnected open-book exam - a sharp and important difference from the closed-book-exam shape of traditional research. (via Warc).”

“Effective marketing is really quite simple: Identify your destination (goals). Determine how best to get there (strategy). Get started (tactics). Measure your progress (reporting and analysis). Make course corrections as needed (continuous improvement).”
