Martino & Binzer is, and always has been,
a full-service advertising agency. However, a strategic marketing
communications firm more closely represents what we do everyday (you
already know our stance on selling advertising). Aside from that, there
are a few basic tenets we believe in:
- First and foremost, we believe in the Internet. It's the
most versatile marketing tool ever created – and now that we've
established that our fellow web travelers include those over 65 by the
drove, it's one of the best places to go to reach those prospects.
- We also believe in following leads, and since the only
leads you can follow are those you generate, so we also believe in
building response-based marketing tools. It's a little extra work – but
well worth the effort.
- Our Call Tracking and Cross Media Metrics programs will open your eyes to what kind of response measurement is available.
- We believe that until you really know what the customer
wants, you can't provide it, so we also believe in getting to know what
we don't know and the information that comes from talking to the people
you want to speak to.
- We believe in efficiency and cost effectiveness. We
believe that you can build something once and distribute it on as many
ways as possible – as a direct mail piece, a magazine or newspaper
insert, a hand out at events, a fulfillment piece from your website.
Everywhere and in every way we can.
- We believe in using the media as prudently as possible.
It's very expensive – and sometimes wasteful. It's more important to
fish where the fish are. That may sound obvious, but you'd be surprised.
We adhere to these tactics throughout the life cycle of every
project. And we adhere to these tactics in providing every service and
deliverable we offer.
