Interactive Marketing and Insights Show + #NIMRI Discusses Marketing Strategies With Ana Raynes

The Trajectory of Modern Media

Ana Raynes joins Suzanne McDonald to discuss the implications of modern media — how it affects our lives, and how we can utilize it to our advantage

From video games to social media to podcasts! Media and technology saturate our lives in one way or another as they never have before. Even looking back ten years, the difference is huge! Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Are our children overexposed to too much violent imagery? Will our old Facebook posts inevitably come back to haunt us? These are the questions that Ana, Suzanne, and WADK host Frank Prosnitz dive into on this month’s Interactive Marketing Show.

Ana Raynes, Social Media Director of Didit Marketing and founder of the #SmartIsCool movement, is an expert in e-marketing and social media. She is well-versed in the power and influence of branding, cultural trends, and digital media. Listen to her and Suzanne discuss how to use your personality to promote your business outlook, and more!

What I love about Search Love

  1. Highly, highly curated from the biggest names in Search, say Rand Fishkin 10x fast!
  2. Picking up so many amazing tools like CrystalKnows & BuzzSumo
  3. Seeing inside experts’ crystal balls: branding, visual, less trickery when it comes to search
  4. What I learned years ago at Search Love is crystalizing: Search is no longer just SEO; it’s the whole enchilada. Validating since that’s the path I’ve chosen, too.

Client Rhode Island Tutorial & Educational Services

Problem
Diverse offerings left parents confused and summer camp openings unfilled.

Solution
Develop, launch & promote an interactive tool that directs parents to the most appropriate course offerings for their child.

Results
Courses filled earlier. Fewer phone calls from confused parents, which freed up staff time. Analytics like decreased page visits & bounce rates – plus increased time on site – indicate that visitors found what they were looking for more quickly and engaged with the content more thoroughly.

rites analytics

Great news: People using the site increased by 74% from the previous year, over a 4-month period.

Good news: Number of pages visitors saw increased by 50% and they were able to find what they were looking for faster (pages/session & duration) with less frustration (lower bounce rate).

More great news: Google is rewarding the site for making it better for users & shows the site more often when people are searching in Google. And an overhauled email marketing campaign really paid off, too, as opposed to social algo changes that diminished impact.

Course-correction: Discontinued paid search with Google because the testing didn’t prove out. Instead, we invested in Facebook ads.
