ANALYTICS AND REPORTING
Our team of designers, writers/editors and marketing experts manage e-newsletters, magazines and journals. We design marketing campaigns, share our expertise with social media platforms and create strategies to help our clients succeed. We offer graphic design, art direction and usability advice for client websites and printed collateral.
Our team also reviews website and social media analytics every month and pays attention to trends over time, and works to help our clients understand the data. We stay current on marketing and design trends to keep our materials fresh and on brand.
A creative partnership!
“It is a pleasure working with the MarComm team for the past year and a half. Our committee’s success in the launch of several new programs is the result of the creative partnership, attention to detail, and full support of the communications team of Ewald Consulting!”
Never looked better!
“The [marketing] for the leadership symposium has never looked better! By email and social media — thank you for the extra effort on this!”
Effective communication practices
“Strong communications are critical to our interaction with members, and their perception of our association. The Ewald Consulting MarComm team is extremely responsive to our needs and willing to do what it takes to help us provide timely and accurate communications. They understand our membership, and help us to develop effective communication strategies, processes and best practices.”
Blog Highlight
Digital Badges
Digital badges can be used to help expand awareness and add value for association members. Our MarCom staff created promotional badges to help the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) promote awareness of their certification program. Members use their digital credential on LinkedIn and other social platforms where colleagues can send congratulatory notes and likes, thus increasing program interest.
Digital badges have also been used to spread the word about organization’s conferences. Sponsors get a “We are Sponsoring” badge after they pay for sponsorship, speakers receive an “I’m Speaking” badge once they are formally confirmed, and attendees can post their “I’m Attending” badge (received in their confirmation email) in any of their social channels or outgoing emails.
