Unlocking the Power of Digital Advertising with Northern šŸŒŸ

Hey there! It’s Dave from Northern, here to talk about something close to our heartsā€”digital advertising. In today’s world, getting noticed online is more intricate than ever. That’s why we at Northern have developed nuanced strategies to help you engage and inspire audiences at every stage of awareness. Whether you’re in hospitality, tech, or running a cozy cafĆ© like Sarah in Newcastle, our structured approach can turn digital indifference into genuine interest and ultimately, into purchases. Letā€™s dive in!

šŸ”¹ Navigating Audience Awareness

Effective advertising begins with understanding where your audience stands in terms of awareness. At Northern, we break this down into phases, each requiring a unique touch to guide potential customers through to the purchase stage.

Unaware Stage: Captivating Curiosity

At this initial phase, your audience might not even know they have a need. That’s where entertaining and educational content comes into play.

  • šŸ’” Educational Content: Northern crafts engaging infographics and snappy videos that ignite curiosity without immediately tying to your product.
  • šŸ“ Storytelling: We humanize problems through compelling narratives, making them relatable. For Sarah’s cafĆ©, we highlight heartwarming stories of pastries bringing people togetherā€”after all, nothing connects like a shared sweet treat.

Problem-Aware Stage: Enlightening Solutions

Now that your audience recognizes an issue, our task is to present your product as the perfect solution.

  • āœ… Benefits Communication: Northern helps clarify how your product can make life better, cut costs, save time, or simply bask in innovative designs.
  • šŸ’” Visual Transformations: We show stunning before-and-after images. Sarah uses regulars’ testimonials alongside vivid images to showcase her cafĆ©ā€™s delights.

Solution-Aware Stage: Setting Yourself Apart

As your audience begins to seek solutions, Northern positions your offering distinctively in the marketplace.

  • šŸŽÆ Comparison Ads: Emphasizing why your product stands out, we highlight what makes it better than competitors.
  • šŸ“¢ Credibility Through Testimonials: Real-life stories from satisfied customers build trust. Sarah can show well-earned reviews comparing her cafĆ©ā€™s unique taste and unbeatable service.

Ready-to-Buy Stage: Spurring Action

When your audience is poised to purchase, the final step is a gentle nudge with Northernā€™s proven techniques.

  • āœ… Testimonials & Social Evidence: We use powerful testimonials or reviews to reinforce decision-making.
  • šŸŽÆ Incorporating Urgency: Well-timed offers or discounts create a sense of urgency. Imagine Sarah offering a special deal on her famed lemon drizzle cake for newcomers.

šŸ”¹ Structuring a Strategic Campaign

At Northern, a well-structured campaign means not just content but organization. We focus on:

1ļøāƒ£ Main Advertising Campaign (Top-of-Funnel): Engaging a wide audience with varied ad sets. Here, we test different elements to discover what resonates most.

2ļøāƒ£ Retargeting Campaign: Strategically re-engaging those who showed interest but haven’t converted. This involves personal touchpoints reminding them of what theyā€™re missing out on.

With this dynamic approach, Sarah has managed to spread the word effectively about her cafƩ, nurturing a thriving community of loyal customers.

šŸ”¹ The Final Touch: Calls to Action

We at Northern know a campaign isnā€™t complete without that crucial call to action. Guide your audience to engage further, whether it’s visiting your site or sharing your story.

Great work from NORTHERN! We were looking to rebrand the company logo, but we were unsure how to go about it. NORTHERN understood our company before designing the rebrand, and it worked great. He introduced ideas we hadn't thought of before, and has a real eye for detail. Very fast turnaround and listened to any ideas we had also.
