Photography plays a crucial role in showcasing the progress and outcome of a jobsite for your projects. Whether you're in construction, architecture, or real estate, capturing compelling visuals can elevate your brand and attract potential clients. However, proper preparation is key to ensure that your photography accurately represents the site and highlights its unique features. This blog explores essential tips to help you prepare for photography on a jobsite.

Scout the Location:
Before the photography session, the professionals who will be taking the footage should visit the jobsite to familiarize themselves with the surroundings, lighting, etc. This will allow the team to identify the key areas, architectural elements, and noteworthy features that should be captured. Thus, making it easier to plan the shots effectively and make the most of the available light.

Timing is Everything:
Consider the time of day for your photography session. The golden hour, which occurs during sunrise or sunset, offers soft, warm lighting that can enhance the beauty of the site. It is wise to avoid midday when the sunlight is harsh and casts unflattering shadows. Plan your shoot around the optimal lighting conditions to create stunning visuals.

Optimize the Photography Session:
It is crucial to thoroughly prepare the jobsite, ensuring it is presented in the best possible manner that aligns with your desired representation. Take proactive steps to eliminate potential distractions such as construction debris, tools, or materials that could divert attention from the primary focus. Moreover, ensure strict compliance with all on-site regulations and adhere to a professional code of conduct within the depicted team. Establishing a clean and organized environment will effectively highlight your exceptional workmanship and project an image of utmost professionalism.

Showcasing Progress:
For ongoing projects, it is beneficial to document the various stages of construction. Create a captivating visual narrative that engages your audience through the progression of your construction projects. Starting from the foundation pouring to the framing process and culminating in the meticulous finishing touches, showcasing the evolution of the project will leave a lasting impression, increases awareness and interest in the project itself, and demonstrates your dedication and expertise to potential clients. Emphasizing the transformational journey of the construction project through compelling visuals will is the key to making an impressionable impact.

Safety First:
Always prioritize safety during the photography session. Make sure everyone involved follows proper safety protocols and wears appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes hard hats, safety vests, and any other necessary gear. Safety should never be compromised for the sake of a photograph or video production.

Attention to Detail:
Observe the minute details that distinguish your project and contribute to its uniqueness. Take the time to analyze your objectives and how you envision your work being represented. Then, the photographers will skillfully capture the intricate architectural features, exquisite craftsmanship, or exceptional materials that set your project apart from the rest. These subtle elements serve as a powerful tool to accentuate your expertise and unwavering commitment to quality. By highlighting these distinguishing details, you effectively showcase your unparalleled skill and meticulous attention to every aspect of your work.

When managing brand identity, maintaining a relevant presence takes consistent media generation with uniformity throughout your platforms and collateral. Though the term “uniform” may insinuate standardized and bland imagery, in marketing we like to emphasize the power of team uniforms–and I’m not talking jerseys. 

Team uniforms represent a team’s success, pride, and history while gaining their audience's attention and loyalty. This consistency strengthens branding and engagements but leaves room for individuality presented by members of the team through their skills, tactics, and characteristics. This compels a strong, uniform brand image with unique and strategic campaigns throughout the brand’s lifecycle. Each campaign highlights different aspects or promotions of your company while encapsulating the brand image, really emphasizing what sets your brand apart from the rest.

Agencies like ours are trained to evaluate and construct media plans to produce content that will cohesively flow through all your platforms. We emphasize your brand image while we initiate various creatively structured campaigns to escalate your quarterly and annual goals. Meaning our team will create and manage media content, develop and/or maintain website material, and generate electronic and physical collateral.

Media Platforms
Social media is a more aggressive branch of media marketing which makes it more challenging to sustain a presence, especially with increasing competition and the overwhelming amount of content out there. Over the Moon Sales and Advertising makes it easier for your company by creating and managing the content on your digital portfolios. Our team incorporates various tried-and-true tactics to improve the engagement and reach of your posts, such as utilizing holidays, popular events, and trending topics that resonate with your audience, or humanizing your company by sharing team photos and highlighting employees Ultimately, succeeding on these platforms heavily relies on a consistent and innovative approach to connecting with your audience and requires an ability to keep up with rapidly evolving trends in media–on both a technical and cultural level–in order to maintain relevance.   

Website Development and Maintenance
While aesthetics are incredibly important, functionality and performance are crucial components in site-building as they determine a user’s overall experience when navigating your company’s website. Our team will focus on creating a smooth, well-functioning website uniquely designed to match your brand and enhance your message. We help you connect the dots by performing SEO management through our proprietary algorithm, curating blogs to correspond with brand image and SEO targets, and driving your social media leads to your site.

Marketing Collateral
Marketing collateral is more versatile than ever, extending from brochures, business cards, and site maps to digital products such as videos and QR codes. Its purpose is to communicate and promote a brand’s message whether it be physically or digitally. Our agency’s goal is to keep up with the ever-growing formats of marketing collateral to determine which types are right for your organization in order to help increase audience outreach and get you closer to achieving your goals.

All three of these branches of media marketing act as players or members of a team. To ensure your audience recognizes and builds loyalty towards your products, services, brand message, and identity, uniformity must be established amongst the “team.” When you bring uniformity to your brand with a strong strategy and structure, you will soon see its immense positive impact prevail.

Marketing plans consist of various intercut layers that only increase in density when dealing with such a quickly evolving industry. Although your plan should have room for updates, changes, and improvisations, it should always have a solid foundation. To form this foundation, it’s essential to build the 4 Pillars of marketing, (A.K.A. “Pillars of Success”) target market, customer needs, integrated marketing, and profitability.

Target Market
This first pillar of our marketing strategy is extremely crucial. Understanding who your target market is and their needs drive your plan's direction. Through research and analysis on the products or services, the market itself, and the existing companies from the current clientele, you can uncover trends from their buying behaviors, demographics, and influences. Once you have a detailed concept of the target market and their behaviors, it is important to identify the competition and learn the strategies they utilize to make an impact on your audience. This will present the current successful strategies and allow you to alter these tactics, increasing the strength of impact while making them unique to fit your brand.

Customer Needs
The research for your target market provides you with an understanding of your customer’s wants and needs. The importance of this step is to evaluate how you are going to lead this demographic toward your products or services. Why should the customer buy from you? That is the million-dollar question. The company’s success heavily relies on being more effective than competitors in creating, delivering, and communicating customer value to its selected target audience. Your goal is to create a strategy that leads your customer base to your brand and influences their buying behaviors.

This brings us to sensory connections, which help influence a lasting association between your campaign, target audience, and brand. Visual, emotional, and even physical connections help engage your audience and leave a lasting impression. Here at Over the Moon, our campaign managers will help you establish creative direction for optimal sensory engagements, while our talented team of art directors will keep your content up to date with the latest graphic design and aesthetic trends!

Integrated Marketing
Integrated marketing is all about reach and engagement. To ensure growth in these fields, you must expand your portfolio and utilize the current marketing trends within them. Beyond a website and marketing collateral, it is crucial to have a variety of social media accounts in our society today. Not only will it amplify the traffic on your website, it will also engage the customers through their everyday habits. The average American spends about 6 hours of screen time on their phone daily.

Meaning, you should not lose the opportunity to engage with your audience who are on these platforms almost 50% of their day, on average. By diversifying into various marketing platforms, integrating sensory connection in your campaign, and adding engagement tools such as polls, votes, and live comments into your posts, you will create a successful strategy for your 2023 marketing plan that takes customer immersion to the next level.

Profitability
Without research, goals, and analysis, you do not have a full understanding of your profitability. Your analysis from your previous year will help you strategize using the techniques mentioned above. It will also help you re-evaluate the aspects that didn’t work for your brand that could be improved upon. This data allows you to understand the market you are reaching out to and further expand on the strategies that will lead you to your desired goal.

If you are  a new company that is starting out and does not  have records to analyze, your research will be based on the comparison of the leading brands in your target market. Our team helps structure and research the data needed to form a solid plan that will lead you to success!

At Over the Moon Sales and Advertising, we help you analyze and structure the blueprint for your marketing success. Contacts us today to schedule a consultation!  https://overthemoonadvertising.com/#contactus  (858) 663- 1408

With the New Year right around the corner, it’s out with the old and in with the new! The digital world is constantly changing, which means nothing stays the same when it comes to marketing or social media. As a result, it is necessary to constantly be auditing, reviewing, and analyzing the success of your current marketing plan so you are prepared to make the necessary changes to succeed in 2023.

Here are a few questions we recommend asking yourself about your company as you review your current marketing plan:

1. Do you have an engaging and consistent social media presence across several platforms?

It is important for your brand to be utilizing social media platforms including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and more to share your message and promote your products and services. This will help you increase awareness about your work and develop a strong base of prospective clientele.

2. Are you utilizing email marketing and CRM platforms to keep in touch with your target audiences?

Platforms like MailChimp, HubSpot, Constant Contact and more are great tools to engage with your contacts. With these programs, you can create and send monthly updates about your services and products, upcoming events, special deals and more to help turn leads into customers.

3. Does your business or organization have unique, distinct branding that is utilized in all of your marketing materials and efforts?

Having an easily identifiable and aesthetically appealing brand image is important for companies in every sector. Branding should be simple yet engaging, unique to your work and mission, and utilized in all the materials you use to promote your company.

4. Have you implemented events into your marketing plan to engage and network with your clients and prospective clients in person?

Now that we’re able to meet in person again, it is a great idea to hold events as often as possible. This allows you to see people face-to-face and strengthen the connections that are so valuable in business relationships.

5. Are you effectively utilizing SEO and SEM to drive traffic to your website?

Search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) work together as key elements to a comprehensive marketing plan by working to raise your business or organization’s ranking on search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. These efforts help more people see your website and have access to information about the products and services you provide.

By reviewing these questions and ensuring you have the answers, you are on the right path to set your company up for success in 2023.

As 2022 approaches its end, the Over the Moon Advertising team hopes that the past year has helped you establish and develop an effective plan for your marketing goals. Now, it is time to evaluate your past year and plan for 2023. Each new year brings us new trends, techniques, and advancements in the advertising world, so it’s important to stay ahead of the curve and plan to utilize these up-and-coming tools to your greatest advantage.

A comprehensive marketing plan illustrates the process in which you define who you are, what your mission is, and why to choose you or your brand. That is what helps us create material to specifically target your vision of the company. The important part is evaluating if the strategy implemented is working for your brand. This involves:

• Analyzing monthly KPIs (key performance indicators)
• Utilizing algorithms to generate high levels of reach and engagement in your media portfolio
• Strategically implementing the newest trends within your branding to be culturally inclusive 
• Taking advantage of CRMs (customer relationship management tools) to keep track of loyal followers and new leads for your business

KPIs & Algorithms

The most important aspect of creating a marketing plan is to evaluate and revolutionize your plan. This involves in-depth analysis of your target audience and KPIs (key performance indicators) to successfully manage and maintain media presence, relevance, and consistent growth of your brand’s identity. Each social media platform can track specified KPIs to help you understand the success rate of your material. These analytics will help you distinguish the strengths and weaknesses within your strategy and allow you to adjust them to your benefit.

It is also crucial to maximize your technological resources to ensure you are on top of targeting the largest portion of your market audience. Algorithms which influence SEO and SEM strategies help exponentially increase overall reach to audiences within online platforms (social media accounts, websites, blogs, etc.). At OTM, we provide our very own cost-effective algorithm to help grow your media exposure and create a higher engagement rate, which in turn perpetually builds your brand presence.

Revolutionize with New Trends      

Exposure means nearly nothing if the material does not lead to attention and engagement from your audience. With external research as well as social media reports (data analytics of posts on each of your social media platforms), you can achieve an understanding of the specific style of trends that prove to be most successful for your brand. This allows you to better recognize your audience and further incorporate top media trends into your branding for optimal brand presence and engagements. 

CRMs

CRMs are platforms that collect and organize data pertaining to current and potential clients. By utilizing one of these programs, you are continuously handed a golden ticket of generated leads. Along with that, a vital component in sustaining a community is understanding your consistent or “loyal” followers. It is crucial to maintain relationships with these followers and understand the aspects of your brand that keep them within the community you have built.

In order to have a successful marketing campaign, it is important that all elements of your digital strategy are cohesive and optimized. One of the largest and most impactful aspects of this is social media management, which includes creating content calendars, designing graphics, writing copy, scheduling posts, interacting with target audiences, analyzing engagement, and more.

Although all businesses have a social media presence, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are posting the right content. Effective social media management not only takes thorough knowledge of the company or organization as well as their industry, but also the trends dominating each specific platform, the content that resonates best with their audiences, etc.

Your social media should direct traffic to your website and blog, boost your SEO, tell a story about your company, its mission, and the products/service you provide, and more. This is because when a business or organization is able to put all of their tools into action in a strategic and cohesive way, they are able to attract the largest amount of attention from target audiences and yield the best results.

In order to do this, it is most ideal to have a team that manages all aspects of your marketing at once, so that they are always on the same page and implementing your plan with the full picture and understanding of your marketing plan in mind. For this reason, Over the Moon Advertising recommends that you hire a full-service agency that is capable of connecting the dots between these different methods of marketing to make sure you are getting the best “bang” for your buck.

For help with social media management or any other element of your digital marketing strategy, contact stacie@otmadv.com for a free consultation today! Our skilled team would be thrilled to assist you in your efforts to use social media to boost your brand.

In order to ensure your marketing plan is effective, it’s important to conduct reviews periodically to evaluate success. Here are a few steps to guide you through your next marketing plan review:

Step 1: Collect & Analyze Data
The first step in successful marketing lies heavily in the creation of a marketing plan. The plan should be structured with annual goals broken down for each quarter referencing the SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound) method. This allows you to utilize different analytical platforms to examine and weigh the data to your set objectives. At the six-month mark, it is important to do a mid-year review of all the analytics and compare your statistics with your proposed goals from your plan. This information can be collected from various project management and analysis platforms such as Hootsuite, Facebook Business, and Google Analytics. Understanding your target market reach, consumer engagements, and marketing direction all come from assessing these numbers.

Step 2: Comparing Data
It is vital to compare your numbers with current analytics as well as your future goals for the remainder of the year.

Comparing with current results:
Once you have collected and analyzed the necessary data, you want to compare the numbers with your Q1 and Q2 proposed goals in the marketing plan. This will give you an understanding of where (ahead, behind, or on point) you are with your expected outcomes. Furthermore, it will allow your team to distinguish what is successful and what requires modifications in your marketing techniques.

Comparing with future goals:
Marketing plans are created to have a strong core but are structured to be molded to the given situation. As miscalculations could occur from a number of things such as economic factors, technological advancements, and even competitive growth, it is just as important to compare your real-time data to your proposed goals for Q3 and Q4. Your plan will show an expected rate of progression, which should be compared to the actual rate acquired from the Q1 and Q2 data. By comparing real-time rates from the first half of the year to the foreseen rate of progression for the second half, you and your team will gain an understanding of the necessary adjustments needed within the plan going forward.

Step 3: Adjusting the Marketing Plan
Now that you can physically see all the strengths and weaknesses from your analytics, your team can mold the marketing plan to fit the new expected outcomes. Most of the time, changes from the mid-year review are anticipated. These alterations can be necessary either from not meeting the proposed goals or, completely surpassing them. Receiving remarkable data which exceeds your expectations is always phenomenal, though it is imperative to raise your goals to maintain consistency and drive for growth and success.
