Advertising
PowerFlite practices concept-driven advertising based on sound strategic planning. This means, among other things, that whether the creative approach your ads need to exude is serious or funny, cooly superior or touchingly warm, outlandish or down-to-earth, when we develop those ads, they will always reflect a core strategic message that we develop together with you at the outset.
We find that establishing this core strategic message with our clients as the first step is the best route to developing smarter, more creative ads and commercials. Ads and commercials that audiences notice and remember, but that also actually deliver something meaningful in the real business world.
As for what ad media we work in, the answer is, "Everything." To be specific, here's the list:
• Radio
• Television
• Print (Newspaper/Magazine/What-Have-You)
• Outdoor & Transit
• Internet (Web Ads/E-mail Postcards/Banners/Videos/etc.)
• Promotional
• Trade Show Booths
• Foreign Language Ads (Broadcast/Print/Posters)
• Posters & POS Displays
In the end, of course, you have to like our advertising to be inclined to hire us. A few examples of our people's work is here.
Social Media Marketing (SMM) Strategies
Confused about how your company can market itself better using the popularity and continued growth of social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Ning, Xing, Wikia, Second Life, and others? These sites aren't just for "kids" anymore, and the potential upside vastly outweighs the downside. In fact there is no downside...unless you do it wrong.
Best of all, because PowerFlite also has a long history of developing and deploying traditional media, your custom-built SMM Strategy from PowerFlite won't onlybe about how to use SMM. It will be about how best to integrate SMM into your other online and traditional marketing and advertising initiatives smoothly and organically in order to yield the best results.
Genuine Branding™
Everything your company does as a business effects its brand, one way or another. But the term “branding” is often misused to mean “spending huge amounts of cash to push a new brand name at the public.” That’s not branding, that’s clumsy pomposity. Branding does not require huge amounts of spending as much as it requires insight, consistency, and thought-provoking creative. Done well, branding works for small organizations, large corporations, and individual products. No pomposity required.
At PowerFlite, our Genuine Branding™ practice helps clients by focusing on two things that consumers don’t expect from marketers anymore: Honesty and clarity. Sadly, marketers are among those trusted least by consumers today. Even sadder, it’s for good reason. After all, for far too long, far too many brands have made promises they simply could not deliver on. Often it’s been because they tried something new, but it didn’t work out. Or they tried to say one thing, but only confused consumers. And in some cases, of course, organizations have tried to pull a fast one, and got caught.
Our Genuine Branding™ practice avoids all that, getting to a provable, believable branding proposition your organization should use – and avoiding even the appearance of empty promises. Best of all, you don’t need to be a multi-national corporation for it to work. You simply have to use it. See some of the positioning results of Genuine Branding™ here.
Naming

• Twinkle • Windsor Place
• SmartPhone • Mother’s Muffins
• Softbridge • Tommy’s Big Tow
What do you need to name?
Graphic Design
Good design is not always about making something pretty. In fact, it’s sometimes smarter to make something look ugly. Or scary. Or confusing. The point is that, like all marketing tools, good design starts with a strategy and tells a story. Graphically. Verbally. Boldly. Succinctly. Whatever best delivers the strategic message. If it does that effectively, the whole world starts to look pretty.
