Growth Marketing Strategies for Brand Awareness and Customer Acquisition
Inbound Marketing & Communication Strategies are about filling the funnel – driving traffic to your site.
You have spent time and money building a great site; now, we want to tell the world to visit. So how do we engage your target audience? Are they on Facebook? Are they tweeting? Or are we talking about a good old newsletter? Sometimes, we don’t know. So we try different tactics, and we measure the response. We call this A/B testing.
Growth Marketing Strategies for Brand Awareness and Customer Acquisition
Our Growth Marketing focuses on helping our clients “reach” their target audience with brand messages via content marketing, display, and other tactics. Traditional marketing was based on a set-and-forget-it approach – you placed an ad and waited for customers to show up. Growth marketing adopts a more Agile approach of building, testing, responding, and iterating for continuous improvement to hone the marketing process further. In addition, we continuously use data and machine learning to garner greater insights into our prospective customers to deliver value-based solutions by reducing costs and creating efficiencies to deliver better outcomes.
Our objectives include the following:
- Increased Brand Awareness
- Greater Lead Generation and Customer Acquisition Capabilities
- Enhanced Customer Experience
This process aims to reach our client’s target audience with the right message at the right time. We focus on building favorable brand awareness and recall of your company and products among prospects unfamiliar with your brand or not currently in the market for your products and services. The goal is to convey what your company does, how that meets their needs, why your products are unique, and why prospects should care about your company.
As we increasingly become a more digital society, our efforts have primarily shifted to online marketing for business success.
Digital Marketing
The U.S. Small Business Administration suggests allocating 7-to-8% of your gross revenue to marketing. Then spend 50% of that marketing budget on digital marketing specifically. However, small businesses generally allocate closer to 7-12% of their total revenue to marketing.

What is a typical Digital Marketing Budget?
- 40% organic search (SEO), increasing to 60% if the focus is local.
- 20% paid search (Google Ads)
- 30% social media (paid + organic)
- 10% email marketing
For example – $1.0M in annual sales = $50K for Digital Marketing Budget or $4,000 monthly for digital marketing.
To begin, we start with SEO to increase visibility through Google searches. This is because 93% of online experiences begin with a search engine. Google holds 90.1% of the total search engine market share (Google + Google Images), followed by YouTube (owned by Google), Yahoo!, Bing, and Amazon.

Digital Marketing Strategies by Understanding eCommerce
Understanding eCommerce – with offices in Barcelona, Berlin, and San Francisco – has developed quality websites since 2003, providing content development, social media marketing, email marketing, Google Adwords/PPC, branding, and SEO/SEM services.
Nowadays, sending content to your webmaster and waiting for them to get around to it is unacceptable. We are tweeting, updating Facebook, and posting to Instagram – so why should it take two weeks for you to update your website? Our websites offer a simple dashboard allowing you to update content if you can cut and paste. Click a button to add an image or upload a new video. And, of course, in line with Web 2.0, everything integrates with your social media platforms.
Many folks believe you can build it, and they will come – we know better, and so should you. Unfortunately, many clients come to us with beautiful sites and no traffic. And even worse – no sales. We understand your site needs to be attractive and informative – but it is a tool, not the end goal. We work with our clients to understand why they are building sites – increase sales and visibility – we help craft a Call to Action and measure. We measure everything. It’s the only way we know if it’s working. In technical terms, what is your ROI – Return on Investment?
