The King Fish Media Approach - Private Custom Media Solutions.Media—from static images and printed copy to interactive Web sites and video—exists to convey valuable information to targeted audiences. Although it may take different forms, media’s basic premise is the same: people will pay attention, get involved, and take action when they derive value from the information and environment provided to them.
The role of media and advertising has forever changed due to technological and societal evolution. Consumers are in control and they have countless options and choices. Today, marketers recognize that savvy consumers are more likely to ignore traditional advertising messages. Armed with technologies such as digital video recorders (DVRs), iPODs, RSS feeds and social networking sites, consumers often never see traditional ads or marketing messages.
In order to capture the attention of their target audience, marketers must find revolutionary methods to entice customers and prospects to spend meaningful time with their brand. When a company educates their current and prospective clients about an entire market segment instead of pitching them a single solution, they become a source of reliable information. They provide vision, and build customer affinity. When this is established, a purchase decision is made with greater confidence.
Our Private Media™ strategy cuts through the usual mass media messages to identify what is distinct and unique to a specific audience. We collaborate with each client to map existing content needs and develop a Private Media™ solution around each opportunity. Instead of delivering a one-size-fits-all sales pitch, the Private Media™ client builds long-term relationships with customers, filling information voids as a reliable source. No talking “at” the customer and no hard sell. The goal is to use affinity to build a long-term relationship. Once you have trust, you have access and then action—that is the promise of Private Media™.
Nike embraces the power of Private Media
Nike and others have discovered that they can increase customer retention and affinity by communicating directly with customers rather than through traditional “interruption” based media. Companies that use Private Media and permission based marketing techniques are seeing positive results; and are shifting their advertising budgets away from big media companies to direct interactions with customers and prospects. This Private Media strategy has been at the foundation of King Fish’s approach since its founding, and continues to be successful for our clients.
