Strategies before tactic​s

At PANO, we work to see the full picture. We believe in the power of the word, “why?” Why is this the goal? Why will customers care? Why will people engage? Once these questions have been answered, we move into “when” and “how.” Too often in marketing, teams get caught up in the how and forget to start with why. We are strategic in everything we do because the best tactics come from informed strategies.

We achieve this through our decentralized business model, allowing us to work with the best creatives in the industry at a price lower than traditional advertising agencies. If you are wondering if we do something, the answer is likely “yes!” It comes from decades of building relationships, partnerships, and networking.

If you require a service we don’t do, we’ll never tell you we do and then fake it. Instead, we help you find an organization or individual who does do that service…even if you’re not a client of ours. Why? We believe in transparency, integrity, and honesty as the foundation of building positive business relationships.

Here are some of the things we do for our clients most often:

Any marketing plan or campaign starts with strategic marketing planning. We look at consumer behaviors, gather and interpret data, conduct surveys, work with stakeholders, and develop plans that bring success to our clients.

Your brand is so much more than your logo, colors, and fonts. Your brand is the persona of your organization and needs to be conveyed correctly to effectively communicate with your target audiences.

Your website is the hub of your online presence. We are strong believers of hub & spoke strategies for websites and inbound channels to create engagement that translates into conversions. Your site needs to not only look great, it needs to function in a way that meets your clients’ needs. We can help improve your site, manage your site, or create an entirely new one.

When it comes to marketing in the 21st Century…content is king! We specialize in content creation for digital, traditional, broadcast, and more. Our team of bloggers, SEO writers, writers, designers, videographers, and photographers are here to make your brand stand out.

About 70% of everything we create for clients gets translated for a Spanish version. So, we have Spanish-speaking content developers who specialize in Spanish-speaking marketing. Its not about just translating the words, its about translating the intent. Our translation team works with our marketing managers and creative designers to create marketing materials that aren’t just translated to Spanish…they’re designed with a Spanish-speaking audience in mind, taking into account culture, nomenclature, dialects, terminology, psychographics, and demographics,

Creating an omnichannel marketing plan requires developing strategic goals, setting KPIs, developing engaging content, and delivering your message through the right channels. The best marketing campaigns are a multi-channel marketing campaigns with focused messaging spread across multiple points of customer contact.

Marketing has become extremely digital, and you need a partner who understand online marketing strategies. We can help promote your brand through digital channels and connect you with potential customers through the internet and other forms of digital communication.

Thanks to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok — we are all connected online more than ever before. Social media marketing is so much more than just being on these platforms. Its about know which platforms your customers use, how they use them, and where the conversations are happening. We have a team of social media specialists who can help increase your engagement, drive positive reviews, and foster long-term retention. PANO specializes in creating (and managing) social media marketing campaigns as well as long-term social strategies.

One of the most effective tools in a marketer’s toolbox is an effective PR team. At PANO, we understand how important it is to develop relationships with the press, use PR channels to promote your brand, and create internal and external communications through our content development team to drive traffic to your organization.

Everything we do in business boils down to selling a product. That product may be something physical, it may be a service, or it may be simply awareness. We believe that regardless of what that product is, you are also selling “experience” as a product. We can help you provide an experience to your customers and clients that creates lasting connections to foster repeat purchases, word-of-mouth advertising, and customer retention.

User experience (UX) and user experience design (UXD) are at the core of all our strategies. Too often, organizations get caught up in creating something based on what they think their consumer wants instead of what the consumer actually needs. UX starts with research to understand the consumer behaviors of your consumers, assess irrational behaviors, develop purchase maps, and conduct A/B testing. Its a lot of data that can tell you so much! However, too much data and you become overly mechanical. We can help you find the right balance of data, research, testing, and intuition.

We are big fans of SEO! Many clients come to us asking for digital marketing or social media marketing. These are great tools, but many times you’re purchasing leads in that moment. SEO, on the other hand, is an investment. The best SEO strategies are an investment into the future health of your online marketing by creating dominance within keywords that will organically drive leads to your website and online tools through high-ranking search results. At PANO, we do a lot of SEO and have award-winning content writers, programmers, and strategists that can identify ways to quickly make your website appear on top page results. More importantly, we have a proven track record of driving quality leads to your site. That’s the trick! Increased traffic is good, but increased quality traffic that leads to sales are better.

Search engine marketing (SEM) is vital to any omnichannel marketing plan. When we create multi-channel marketing campaigns, SEM is almost always at the heart of it. We use SEM in conjunction with SEO to drive leads immediately and then create long-term dominance online for quality leads with high conversion rates (and low CPC and CPM). Our digital marketing team uses tools like PPC, Display, Programmatic, and more to effectively promote your brand through 360 marketing campaigns.

High-quality video production is key to content creating for marketing. Videos on your website increase your SEO ranking, videos have higher engagement on social media platforms, and customers consume video media at massive rates on streaming and broadcast platforms. Our award-winning production team has decades of experience and has produced content for international brands like Hershey’s, American Express, and Estee Lauder. We’ve even got an Academy Award nomination.

Creative design is much more than making something look pretty, its about effectively communicating an idea through visuals. Our team of graphic designers and content developers work hand-in-hand to find the right way to convey the message in a way that captures the audience’s attention. We also have relationships with vendors for merchandise, apparel, printing, outdoor banners, signage, tradeshow booths, products, giveaways, and more.

Ever received a call or email from a media channel telling you they have an amazing deal? Sure, the cost of those TV spots are lower than they usually are or that newspaper ad comes with some digital ads…but is that really where you can get the best ROI? Maybe it is. Usually its not. PANO has partnered with Copp Media, one of the largest and most accomplished media buyers in the Midwest. Together, we create strategic media plans that meet your needs and budget with the goal of driving quality leads with the best ROI possible. We’ve established relationships that get you the best bang for your buck, put your ads where your customers are, and comprehensive reports and dashboards to track and measure the success of your KPIs.
