Empowering Growth

What is media activation?

Basically, media activation is the process of building awareness for a company by engaging directly with target audiences or consumers. This can be done through different event types or sales and marketing campaigns, as long as the effort results in a specific consumer experience that builds a company’s notoriety.

What is social media activation?

Social activation is the act of transforming followers from voyeurs, into participants, into ultimately, evangelists. Social activation occurs when fans and followers directly participate in the activities your brand lays out, such as contests, coupon redemption, product purchase, webinar attendance, photo and experience sharing.

Our Process

We help SME’s grow by introducing industry experts to help support, define and deliver better practice through sales, marketing and business development.
