Some days you learn, some days you are inspired, and for Burke Advertising, NAC 2017 provided both. Jim got to meet Patriots' Tom Brady and Julian Edelman this month and hear powerful business lessons from speakers including Tony Robbins, Marcus Lemonis from The Profit and Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank.

The spokesperson has been a staple of advertising campaigns since well, the beginning of advertising. Why? Because it's effective of course    From the celebrity (Michael Jordan and Nike) to the Average Joe (Hello Flo!) who represents a persona, we tend to trust recommendations, especially from those we like or admire.  But if you're looking to utilize a spokesperson in your next campaign, make sure you choose wisely. We all remember the "Can You Hear Me Now"- guy from the Verizon Wireless campaign who touted the superiority of their network for years. But the tables turned on Verizon when he reappeared in a campaign for their rival, Sprint. What once was an iconic campaign became an embarrassing liability. Spokespeople are effective and we have and will continue to use them for our clients and there's always a few rules we follow:  Have a contract with your spokesperson  Make sure your agreement lays out a non-compete for a number years past whe...

On location today at New Hampshire NeuroSpine Institute to grab some video footage.

Facebook Lead Ads collect contact information from interested customers with a few simple clicks on Facebook. Instead of sending a customer off to your website like a standard newsfeed ad, you can connect the call-to-action button to a form. Once the form is filled out and they press SUBMIT, the info on the user can be collected via download of an excel sheet, or if Facebook supports integration of your CRM, the information can be delivered there.

It is important to remember a few tips while grabbing footage of an interview. One tip is to try and make your clients feel as comfortable as possible so that they can answer questions with ease and at their own pace. The most important part of shooting footage is to prepare the questions before the interview to ensure that you are asking the right questions in order to receive accurate and significant information in return. Chris is on location at NH Eye Associates capturing interviews of our client's outstanding doctors, including their new pediatric ophthalmologist. The footage will be used across multiple mediums including television, online video marketing and social media. nheyeassociates.com

Imagine if someone sees their name name on objects like cupcakes throughout a video. Well it is possible, and you can see this fantastic effect in this video clip we produced for the Academy of Notre Dame. With the amount of media clutter in today's market, connecting with your prospects or customers one-on-one can be a challenge. With personalized video, we are able to cater a specific message directly to one of your existing or prospective customers. For the the Academy of Notre Dame, our challenge was helping them stand out from a highly competitive landscape of private schools that all announce their accepted students on the same day. We came up with creating a personalized video for each of their accepted students and then embedded it on a Personalized URL for each student. The video told the story of how a journal made its journey through many students at the Academy before being delivered to them as a gift. On the morning that acceptances could be announced, the accept...

If your page isn't optimized to load quickly on a mobile device then potential customers could be leaving your site before they even see it. Website loading speed is a priority for users when they come to your site and is one of the hundreds of SEO ranking factors. People are impatient and if they're waiting for more than five seconds for your page to load then there's a good chance they're moving on, especially on mobile devices! We see more than half of our clients' web traffic coming from mobile devices or tablets, a trend that is increasing every month. Website page load speed is a factor now in SEO rankings and will only become more important as time goes on. Now is the time to evaluate your site and make the upgrades necessary to make your pages load like lightning! At Burke Advertising we are constantly rating the efficiency of our clients' web sites.

We all know that Google is the number one search engine that consumers use when looking for a business, which means having a Google, My Business Page is a crucial part of your online marketing plan. If you're not utilizing the former Google Places, then you probably aren't showing up on the Google Map when potential consumers are searching. In order to be listed as a search result on a Google Map, your company needs to have a verified My Business Page. Once a page is verified, the next step is to keep your page engaged and up to date. Posting, adding pictures and responding to reviews all help to keep your page active and can make a difference in whether your business is displayed on the google map or not. With more mobile users than desktop users, having a locational search aspect and a highly positive reviewed page for your local business is a crucial marketing tool. Not only does it deliver instant results - it helps boost your long term SEO as well because your page con...
