Relevance of Big Data Drives Customer Engagement

Personality Segementation

Big data provides digital marketers with the ability to target customers—at key moments during their personal-decision journey—with tailored experiences that have been proven, through innumerable transactions, to better engage and convert.  But is that enough to be relevant?

A brand that understands the customer’s mindset as he bounces along his unique journey from awareness to advocacy has the power to be contextually relevant. But does that brand have what it takes to be meaningfully relevant—and drive real brand engagement? Read More

Paid, Owned & Earned Media

Favorite person(s)/organization(s) to follow on Twitter?
@PositivelyCleve @Mashable @Marketingland @DowntownCLE (Check out some of my followers @mbokorn216)

How long have you been at Rosetta?
10 months

Where did you grow up?
Born and raised on the east side of Cleveland.

What’s your educational background? Favorite college memory?
In May of 2012, I graduated from the University of Dayton with a degree in Business Marketing and a minor in Communications. My fondest memories at UD include hanging on friends’ porches, St. Patrick’s Day festivities, and embracing the welcoming community within the student neighborhood.

What inspired you to enter the world of Marketing?
I switched my area of study freshman year of college when I realized the wealth of knowledge and skills that can be gained through Marketing and applied in any business-related career. Marketing not only perfectly aligns with my personality and goals, but has also opened an abundance of opportunities for my career.

What would be your advice for a College Grad entering the Marketing field?
Don’t pass up the opportunity to try something new, ask questions, set goals, build as many bridges as you can (without burning them), and gain experience early and often.

What does a typical day look like for you at Rosetta?
Within the POEM spa, I’ve taken on the role of a marketing generalist for clients within the financial and retail vertical. As a marketing generalist, I have invested my efforts in becoming an expert in paid and organic search, as well as in being cross-trained in online display. Day-to-day tasks include campaign management, creating client deliverables, and generating overarching strategies for our clients.

What has been your most memorable experience at Rosetta (so far)?
During my time at Rosetta, I’ve met the most diverse and integrated group of talented people that enjoy what they do. My most memorable experiences with the agency include practice-meeting happy hours, where we’re able to celebrate the successes and reflect on the failures from the previous quarter.

Rosetta Happy Hour 2

Rosetta Happy Hour

What does the One Rosetta model mean to you?
The aspect of the One Rosetta model that most resonates with me is the core list of values our agency holds and consistently conveys. These beliefs range from collaboration to trust, laughter to discovery. They are what define our behavior and culture.

How do you incorporate this model into your day-to-day at Rosetta?
Rosetta’s mission is to build trusted relationships that drive measurable business impact. To incorporate this mission and the overall meaning behind the One Rosetta model, I strive to align Rosetta’s values with my everyday work. By building both internal and external relationships, the opportunity to collaborate and blend our ideas enables a transformation in the unique services we provide.

MaryBeth is one of the first employees to be included as a part of our ongoing employee spotlight feature on Facebook, The Dashboard. As part of our One Rosetta initiatives, we will be choosing participants for The Dashboard from each of Rosetta’s nine locations every month. For more information on this and on ways to nominate someone for The Dashboard, please email Mindi Rosser (Mindi.Rosser@rosetta.com) or Lauren Welch (lauren.welch@rosetta.com)

The Initiate, Accelerate, Innovate Approach to Mobile Strategy

Mobile Devices

INITIATE mobile strategies by leveraging various content platforms based on the consumer, context and constraints.

Mobile cannot be an afterthought. It is a critical touch point for consumers and business organizations, and brands must agree on the importance and urgency of connected devices. Initiation of a mobile strategy should always begin with thinking about the basics: consumers, context and constraints.

Consumers – Who are your customers and who are you trying to reach?

Context – What is the use case in which the target will be engaging with the experience?

Constraints – What are the technical barriers and what mobile content platforms will be leveraged? Read More

How Kmart Mobilized a Millennials’ Marketing Machine

K-Mart Ad

Millennials are weird. We are Urban Dictionary trolls, meme machines, and lovers of corgis. If a visual activity feed of our brains was on display, a scrolling marquee of hashtag punch lines, Nigel Thornberry GIFs and selfies would be speeding by faster than you can say ERMAHGERD.

Often we are reprimanded for being as addicted to our smart phones as Gary Busey is to showing off his large teeth. And while some old-school boomers are snubbing us for ignoring their insights on Model T cars or whatever, we’re busy curating and sharing bits of information that are culturally relevant, whether they’re humorous, political or just plain cray (Urban Dictionary translation: crazy).
