TopSide Media Launches TopSide Search®, a New Search Program for Businesses Selling Locally

Austin-based TopSide Media has just launched an Internet search marketing and advertising program called TopSide® Search. This new program is ideally suited for all businesses that primarily sell to a local market such as physicians, attorneys, dentists, heating and air conditioning contractors, and locksmiths.

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) January 28, 2009 -- Austin-based Topside Media (http://www.topsidemedia.com) has just launched an Internet search marketing and advertising program called TopSide® Search. This new program is ideally suited for all businesses that primarily sell to a local market. This includes professionals such as physicians, attorneys and dentists, as well as businesses as diverse as heating and air conditioning contractors and locksmiths.

TopSide Search is an all-inclusive search marketing program which delivers a combination of proven Web services that previously have been too expensive or complicated for most local businesses. The program includes traffic from Google AdWordsTM advertising program, Yahoo! Search Marketing®, MSN AdCenter® and other sources of pay-per-click (PPC) traffic that span the web. Prices start as low as $350 per month with a one-time build fee of $75.

Major benefits to local businesses include:

•    Leads generated from highly-targeted traffic through the major search engines to the client's website. For businesses with no website or that prefer to use it, TopSide Search also includes a business profile web page.

•    Tracking of customer contacts with your website or business profile web page, including incoming phone calls and emails, map downloads, coupon downloads and clicks to another website (optional).

•    Ads reach potential new local customers at the moment they are searching online for a service or product.

•    No longer do local businesses have to question the results of their advertising/marketing activities. A monthly report provides an overview of leads from the previous month.

"We think this search program is perfectly timed for today's economic climate because it enables local businesses to get more from their advertising dollar," says Gary Walker, TopSide Media's CEO. "In addition, since it is tailored for local search, it can replace expensive yellow pages ads," Walker continued.

About TopSide Media:

TopSide Media combines marketing and advertising strategy with leading technologies to deliver its clients more customers and higher profits. The company's comprehensive approach to web-based advertising has three primary objectives: 1) increasing website traffic, 2) lowering the cost per new customer and 3) measuring the program's results.

Since 2005, TopSide Media has served a range of business types and sizes, nationwide, from its headquarters in Austin, Texas. In addition to TopSide Search, the company offers customized search marketing programs for large businesses and organizations, including those specializing in e-commerce.

Interactive Media Firm, CinciMedia, Celebrates Successful Expansion into North America; Projects Strong 2009.

Interactive Media Firm, CinciMedia, Celebrates Successful Expansion into North America; Projects Strong 2009.

Originally founded in Eastern Europe in 2001, CinciMedia marks the anniversary of its expansion into North America in February 2008. CinciMedia's U.S. operation, focused on delivery of website design, 3D and visual effects services, reports key growth milestones in its first year in North America and is positioned for significant further growth in 2009.

Cincinnati, Ohio (PRWEB) January 28, 2009 -- CinciMedia (http://www.cincimedia.com), an interactive media firm is celebrating the anniversary of its expansion into the North American market. Since establishing offices in Cincinnati, Ohio, in February 2008, CinciMedia's U.S. operation completed nearly 30 client project implementations, landed several significant US clients, and made strategic additions to its core leadership team.

Key leadership additions to the CinciMedia US based team include Teresa Hoelle as Director of Sales and Marketing, Rochelle DuBrowa as Executive Producer, and Peter Elia as Senior Project Manager. To further enhance CinciMedia's onshore capabilities, additional hires are planned for the first half of 2009.

CinciMedia attributes its first year's growth and success to the dedication and strategic focus of its growing leadership team, as well as CinciMedia's JustPageIT® Content Management System. "From our designers, and programmers to our 3D and visual effects artists, CinciMedia has the breadth of creative talent to deliver any website, VFX, or web-based marketing requirement," said CinciMedia's US CEO Karl Treier.

Looking ahead to 2009, Treier is confident the clear business value of delivering professionally designed websites on its JustPageIT® (http://www.cincimedia.com/cms) Content Management System (CMS) will continue to attract customers who are looking for content agility as a way to differentiate themselves from their competition, while also significantly reducing their website maintenance costs in these challenging economic times. To that end, CinciMedia's customers continue to relay positive experiences and feedback about the business benefit their JustPageIT CMS enabled website has had on their operation. Melissa Santomo, Marketing Director at the Cincinnati Ballet said, "The time and energy we've saved by switching to CinciMedia and JustPageIT® is immeasurable."

In 2008, CinciMedia also performed a global re-branding initiative whereby the European entity abandoned its former name (e-Sense) and assumed the CinciMedia name. This global re-branding was done to ensure a common global brand consistent with its global delivery capability. The two entities also established the US as the worldwide marketing and sales headquarters, as CinciMedia forecasts North America as the major market for future growth.

CinciMedia is scheduled to relocate to expanded office space in downtown Cincinnati in May 2009. "Moving downtown puts us closer to our clients, and the companies we are eager to do business with," said CinciMedia CEO, Karl Treier. "We remain dedicated to delivering true business value through our creative and technology services, and we are focused on becoming one of the best firms delivering Interactive Media, 3D Animation and VFX. With our growing team of 35 global employees we have equipped CinciMedia with the leading talent needed to meet the evolving demands of our clients" Treier added.

About CinciMedia:

CinciMedia is a global Interactive Media Firm with a talented creative team located in Eastern Europe and the United States. CinciMedia's services range from delivering website design and web applications to 3D animation and visual effects for television and film. CinciMedia developed its own JustPageIT®Content Management System (CMS) on which all their websites are deployed. Originally founded in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2001 under the name e-sense, CinciMedia expanded into the US Market in 2008. CinciMedia has developed more than 1,000 websites and 3D animations for clients which include: MTV Networks International, Toyota, Subaru, Cincinnati Ballet, BlueStar, Ogilvy, Tele2, and JCDecaux.

A Glimpse of the Future: American Marketing Association Unveils Four Scenarios for the Role of Marketing in 2015

A Glimpse of the Future: American Marketing Association Unveils Four Scenarios for the Role of Marketing in 2015

At its signature Mplanet conference, the American Marketing Association unwrapped the results of a year-long project to help marketers map future scenarios and possibilities in the marketplace. The work, created in partnership with Decision Strategies International, used scenario-building to predict four archetypes of CMOs and their potential impact on marketing in 2015.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) January 27, 2009 -- At its signature Mplanet conference, the American Marketing Association unwrapped the results of a year-long project to help marketers map future scenarios and possibilities in the marketplace. The work, created in partnership with Decision Strategies International, used scenario-building to predict four archetypes of CMOs and their potential impact on marketing in 2015.

The process of "disciplined imagination" used by AMA and DSI gives marketers a way to organize all of the uncertainty in the market and create possible stories or pictures of the future.

AMA's CEO Dennis Dunlap challenged industry leaders to use the scenarios and be flexible enough to market in the moment while still planning for a continuum of possibilities.

"If you really want to be a strategic force within your organization, you have to live in today and tomorrow," said Dunlap. "The marketers who will win in the new marketsphere will be the ones who systematically plan for future scenarios. They will identify not only the strategies and tactics best suited to the future, but also their role in navigating what they foresee."

See the attachment for a summary of the project.

Marketing Luminaries Share Expertise

Chief Executive and Marketing Officers from Xerox Corporation, American Express and McDonald's revealed their innovative leadership skills in navigating the marketing industry through today's information age. The speakers discussed both the opportunities and challenges organizations face while building and maintaining a brand in both a local and global market.

Keynote speaker, Anne Mulcahy, Chairman and CEO, Xerox Corporation, followed Dunlap by offering her point of view on what really matters in today's world of information. Named 2008 CEO of the Year by Chief Executive Magazine, Mulcahy said organizations must reach consumers who are living in a world of information overload. She noted that more than 4,000 new blogs were created while she was delivering her remarks at Mplanet.

"I think we can all agree that there is more information available to us than ever before," Mulcahy said. "We spend more time sifting through it. It's less reliable. And it's all getting faster and more pervasive than ever - - not just by a little, but by a lot."

Mulcahy said companies can make their message stand out in a sea of information by using technology for more personalization and by really listening to the customer.

"Staying in touch with customers used to be considered a "nice" thing," she said. "Today smart marketers know it is critical. We bring customers into our research and development labs. We open up their eyes and their minds to what is possible. We ask them to identify their "pain points" and to dream along with us on how we can make their business problems disappear."

Additional program content:

* John Hayes, Global CMO, American Express, said, "The consumer is going through a massive shift in their behavior. People are redefining what's possible, what's real and what's next." Consumers today need to be heard and understood - and this generation of marketers must courageously step outside communication that is comfortable and continually adapt to consumers needs. "Our generation of marketers has the opportunity - no, make that the responsibility - to help lead our country back on the road to economic recovery. We create hope. We create a better tomorrow," said Hayes.

* Mary Dillon, EVP and Global CMO, McDonald's, brought the conversation about new technologies and innovation back to a central theme focusing on the brand promise. By focusing on the promise, Dillon said, "We put a stake in the ground and we crystallized what we stand for. Your brand promise needs to be a part of your company's DNA so that it's genuine, but also it must be aspirational. It's your brand on its very best day…Think about your brand promise as a beacon that guides your actions."

Throughout the day, break-out sessions of strategic forums and application spotlights emphasized specific issues in the marketing industry. John Aiello, CEO and Co-Founder of the SAVO group was joined by Joseph Galvin, VP and Research Director, Sirus Dicisions, to explain how winning marketing organizations are driving greater impact on sales and where to focus time and resources in 2009
