Social Media Exposure & Tracking Medium such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and blogs have become established sources for relationship building, brand saturation and image development. Tracking these outlets is essential to obtaining an accurate gauge on the return of investment, engagement, participation, involvement and exposure.

Eo1 Solutions also understands the importance of messaging techniques used to create rapidly spreading promotions utilizing pre-established social mediums via word of mouth engagement - “Viral Campaigns”. This can be furthered with development of relations with bloggers. Such alliances grant the opportunity to create a greater reach to the customer, client and/or fan through sources they have grown to trust and rely upon.

  Email campaigns areanother missed opportunity. Some may view emails as no longer essential with SMS (short message services), IM (instant messaging) and social networking; forgetting how these campaigns create a ongoing rapport with readers, granting them direct access to deals and other unique opportunities, not the least of which is free lead generation. Now, SMS is important as another avenue to remain engaged with the constituency, as it takes advantage of mobile phone technology. Strategic Communications Strategic communication is the systematic planning and realization of information flow, communication, media development and image care. It conveys deliberate message(s) through the most suitable media source to the designated audience(s) at the appropriate time to contribute to and achieve the desired long-term effect.

Public Affairs – Eo1’s programs help shape public image via communications initiatives that advance core client messages and objectives.

  B. Marketing Eo1’s marketing program is committed to delivering results through innovative and meaningful engagement – at scale. We bring brands closer to their demographics and individuals closer to each other. Eo1 isn’t interesting with distracting consumers as we aim to create “Raving Fan” experiences via the 360˚ strategy and building added value. Eo1’s marketing strategy includes proven traditional, guerilla, digital, relationship and sports marketing tactics. Traditional Marketing Eo1 Solutions traditional marketing objective is comprise of brand development, advertisement and channel partnerships. To create a relationship with consumers there must be an identity upon which they can relate. This begins with determining a marketing objective or mission statement, developing a brand tagline, a corporate identity and / or logo. It is also essential to relay a clear and concise message regarding the brand attributes - what is the brand promise? Unless, you are comfortable with contributing to waste you must determine the demographics and how the brand is different or special from competition – also known as “positioning”. The next step is determining with advertisement method(s) is the most viable solution to realize and exceed the expectations of a marketing campaign. Eo1 combined the successes of traditional, physical and digital advertisement as means to create the greatest visibility and positioning for the client. Television, cable and satellite, with airtime purchased by our media buyer, provide great visibility and viability to professionally created commercials, when strategically positioned. Radio is considerably less expensive than television and doesn’t have the level of visibility, since advertisements are heard and not seen. However, purchasing airtime and producing high-quality, professional commercials for specific demographics...and aligned with specific shows and stations can yield high returns. Keep in mind that radio is no longer terrestrial, as there is satellite and Internet which significant listeners. Product placement is one of Eo1 Solutions most strategic methods of advertisement. This is where branded goods or services are placed in a context usually devoid of ads, such as movies, the story line of television shows, or news programs. An example would be a cell phone carrier’s logo displayed on the phone someone is using. Eo1’s physical advertising methods include print, mobile and electronic billboards, merchandising and celebrity branding. Print media is significant and has been used for many years; with some of them being viewed in newspapers, magazines, trade publications, on billboards and bus stops. Physical advertising doesn’t end there as it is extended to mobile billboards (such as custom wrapped vehicles) which consumers or employee drivers, race cars...and even haulers traveling up and down the highways. If merchandising if forgotten then a golden opportunity has been missed to extend the brand on products such as coffee mugs, pens, t-shirts, uniforms, etc. One of Eo1’s least utilized advertising options is the access to celebrity branding, where actors and athletes personally endorse the product, service and brand, granting access to their fan base. The company’s digital advertising package consist of contextual ads that appear on search engine results pages, banner ads, in text ads, Rich Media ads, social network advertising, online classified advertising, advertising networks and e-mail marketing, including e-mail spam. Facebook-created ads, with targeted demographics, harnesses the network’s 500 million members. Twitter is an avenue to make direct offerings to over 10 million subscribers and YouTube is a forum where creative videos can be displayed all across the globe. e oo Eo1 Solutions Corporation 1 We Focus on Solutions!

Guerilla Marketing This is a grassroots campaign using a tremendous amount of ingenuity and creativity, which is perfect for small budgets. There are literally hundreds of ways to yield a significant impact and success. One of the most productive campaigns, and used in major metropolitan areas is street marketing. This is when a group of people ‘hit the streets’ promoting an event or a product – a highly effective tool. This solution has evolved into strategic outdoor placement in highly visible gatherings to create buzz regarding a specific issue, product or service. Trade shows and conferences are key to creating buzz, presence and collaborations within industries. Eo1 will hire models to demonstrating products and brands and attract attendees to the booth to become engaged and enamored with the overall offering.

  Public Relations The PR environment within the sports arena is much different than the private or public sectors. Much like the entertainment industry, the sports field is fast paced and fan oriented. Eo1 Solutions’ Sports Marketing and Management clients receive the services of media relations and training, image awareness, crisis management, community relations and outreach and hospitality. Media Training, Image & Crisis Management – Athletes are constantly in the scope of the media. Every word and phrase is measured, scrutinized and applied to these individuals by the media and general public alike. This is where formal media coaching and image awareness comes into play. The value and durability of an athlete’s career is determined by the perception of the masses. A popular basketball hall of famer once stated, “I am not a role model!” He may not desire to be a role model; however that does not prevent others, especially children, from viewing these highly visible individuals for inspiration and aspiration. One of the greatest factors that can bring down a public career is poor crisis management. The response (or lack thereof) to potential assassination of character greatly determines the valuation of future earnings. Eo1 Solutions’ attention to details, as well as commitment to due diligence, presents a measured and proactive posture for the client, always implementing the ideology, “Everything happens for our best and highest good.” Eo1 will craft an alternative perspective to highlight the positive as opposed to negative.

Hospitality permits marketing partners to participate in race day activities, increase company/employee morale and entertain potential clients.
