How to Frame Your New Client’s Social Strategy

The term "social media" can be all-encompassing. Between paid campaigns, organic content development and community management — not to mention all the platforms — it's challenging to know where to start or where to focus your efforts. It's natural to want to make sure each base is covered, but unless you have several team members dedicated strictly to social, it's important to identify and execute only the most valuable tactics for your account. So, where…

Bad Presents: Why Your Emails Aren't Working

Presents. I love them. You love them. Show me someone who doesn't love presents. Whether it's Christmas, Hanukkah or birthdays, we live for the moments when we get to rip the wrapping paper off of silly things and have one more knick-knack we don't need, but really wanted. You know what is really similar to those nicely wrapped presents? Emails. I know most of you are saying “that's a lie, no one gets excited about…

Content Marketing: How America was Made!

You’ve heard it repeated time and time again: you need great content on your website. But having great content on your site is just the beginning. Sure, you might be rocking the blogging game, pumping out valuable information that engages and entertains your readers. But… what if you don't have any readers?

Action! Video and Your Digital Marketing Strategy

We talk about content a lot on this blog, and for good reason! Content (without going down the rabbit hole of quality over quantity) has been and continues to be one of the driving forces behind a healthy organic web presence.

No matter the format,…

Screw the Game! You've Got Conversion Rate Optimization

We love sports. I'm not talking about 'we' here at BKMedia Group, I'm talking about all of us. Americans, Canadians, Germans, Brazilians, everyone. We may not always love the same sport (or agree on what to call it), but there's no question that we love them. We buy clothes emblazoned with the logos of our favorite teams. We make special plans just to watch games. Hearts break when 'our player' gets traded or retires. And…

Content for Web - It Goes Way Beyond Copy 

When you think of the term “website content,” what’s the first thing that pops into your mind? For most people it’s going to be words, articles, blog posts, or something of the like.

In this day and age, not only does content need…

5 Reasons the Carousel Is Killing Your Website

Back in 2013 we did a short series on web conventions—design and usability aspects that have become so deeply engrained in our collective web experiences that ignoring them risks a bad user experience.

What is 'Meta Information' and Why Should I Care?

We're always pushing our clients to boost the copy on the pages of their site and publish new pages by way of blog articles for the sake of search engine optimization.
