With so much content available online and companies more and more posting social media, writing blog articles and sharing content, how can you stand out from the crowd and get noticed?

Everyone saying the same thing over and over again is boring. So how can you not be boring and give content and information that your customers want to read and share? Below are Icon’s top 5 tips so you aren’t boring on Social Media.

  1. Give facts that your customers may not know
  2. Be personable – while you may be writing for a business, at the end of the day people do business with people. Sosocial-media-by-the-numberslet your personality come through in your content.
  3. Don’t be afraid to be controversial – if you don’t agree with something or have a different position on an industry issue, speak out, state your case and back it up with facts.
  4. Post social media the length people like to read – Social media is not about writing long essays or looking at in-depth issues, it short, snippets at times. Use your website blog to create your long articles, to investigate issues and industry topics, link your social media back to this – but do it in shorter snippets and you will have a week of posts all looking at another aspect of your article.
  5. Be a valued source of information – share your industry insight, your knowledge and give it willingly.

Media is complex. Much more than it used to be. Since the dawn of the internet and rise of social media, the number of media options has exploded. For a marketing manager, they are like pieces of a puzzle, interconnecting and working together. So, how does a marketing manager make the pieces form a nice, big, beautiful picture, to successfully stand out not only amongst the competition but above the vast array of media noise? American digital marketing expert, Gini Dietrich, identified four types of media: Paid, Earned, Shared and Owned. She called it the PESO model . Here we look at the four types of media. We describe and analyse each one and discuss how they all fit together.

When we launched in 2003, the trend in agencies was to provide a specialist service, like creative or media buying. But we saw the opportunity to offer full-service marketing to our clients, taking the pain away from managing multiple agencies with multiple processes. We’ve chosen to continue to base ourselves in the Macarthur region, moving to Campbelltown in our current office nearly six years ago.  This has enabled us to build strong working relationships with many companies in our region including property developers, builders, manufacturers, local Councils, venues, and many more. We’ve also worked with loads of companies outside the region which is becoming so much easier with the aid of technology. We’re not just suppliers, but genuine business partners. I’d like to thank the many clients I’ve worked alongside in the past 20 years and look forward to continuing many of those relationships.
