Whether you’re using Google Ads, or ad platforms on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn, we’ll work hard to get you the best ROI.

Getting a great return on your investment relies on having up-to-the-moment industry knowledge, and skillful, swift execution.

Together, we’ll make sure your brand takes advantage of the latest marketing techniques, like streaming ads on services like Hulu, Pandora, and Spotify.

We keep on top of the latest trends, so you have the greatest advantage.

SEO

So it is no secret that everyone is competing for the best rankings and results in search engines by optimizing their websites. What most other companies will not tell you is how to better optimize your website for the long term.

Here at DesignLoud, we don’t do anything that will be considered “Black-hat” SEO. When we provide our clients with SEO for their websites we consider the direction that internet is going and future updates to search engine algorithm’s and build a plan for the long-term.

We don’t just stop there, we provide our clients with resourceful tips and tutorials on optimizing their own websites and the best practice’s for maintaining a good ranking position organically.

CTV/OTT Advertising

CTV advertising is the new hotness, and everyone is eager to get a piece of the pie. But what is CTV advertising, and why is it so popular? CTV stands for Connected Television, which basically means that your TV is connected to the internet. This allows you to stream content from various sources, including traditional cable TV channels, as well as internet-based services like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube.

CTV also gives advertisers a new way to reach consumers. Traditionally, TV advertising has been limited to commercials that air during breaks in programming. However, CTV allows advertisers to place their ads directly within the content that consumers are already watching. This provides a more targeted and effective way to reach consumers, which is why CTV advertising is growing in popularity.

Email Marketing

Email marketing is still the most cost-effective way to get new leads and engage existing ones. If you’re not sending regular, strategic emails, it’s time to get started. Building relationships is critical to growing your business - and email is one of the easiest ways to connect with people. It’s more personal, and therefore more trusted than interacting on social media. You should consider it a foundational part of your marketing strategy. We’ll help you develop emails that are action-oriented and deliver measurable results.

Social Media Management

Simply attracting prospects to your site isn’t enough. You also want to grow a community that helps promote your brand with their engagement and enthusiasm.

Having a strategic social media plan is the ticket for attracting new fans and engaging with current ones (to keep the love alive).

When you work with us, we’ll develop a social media plan that best supports your business goals.

Reputation Management

Your online reputation directly affects your bottom line - for better or worse. Let’s make sure it’s for the better.

Here’s how we can help you manage your online reputation:

Strategically use content to establish a positive brand image that proactively insulates your company from negative press/content
Quickly respond to negative content as it surfaces
Build a custom content strategy for long-term reputation management

Make sure you own your story and your reputation. We’ll help.

The webinar was excellent. I am quite excited about using Claude now. Thanks Derek!
Derrick provided an educational workshop with CFCC's Small Business Center regarding marketing and advertising with Google Ads. The class was very insightful and I would recommend his services.
Good overview of how Google ads work, and how to leverage AI to get it done.
Attended a workshop led by Derek Schmidt. It was so insightful and he provided so much great information!
Loved this session!
Derek Schmidt is truly an expert marketer! I have been fortunate to have the privilege of him being an instructor of several free marketing classes offered by the Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) Small Business Center. As a new small business owner, his tips and tricks have been extremely beneficial for me to embrace to help grow my client base! Thank you, Derek!
Derek is awesome to work with. He listened to what I said I needed help with and followed through on what he said he would do. Appreciate that he seemed to have my best interests in mind, not trying to up-sell me on things that wouldn't actually matter. Seems like a legitimately good, honest person to work with.
