Paid, Earned, and
Owned Media
What is paid media?
Forms of advertising where a dollar leaves your left hand, and you expect a return in your right hand, like direct response or branding. Marketing Voice helps you reach your target audience with digital paid media like pay-per-click (PPC) ads on search engines, social media, and major ad networks, remarketing and display ads, lead generation, cost-per-lead programs, and native and (paid) content marketing. We also provide traditional offline media buying services and negotiate influencer, brand ambassador, endorsement, and sponsorship packages.
We help you select, test, invest or divest in paid media channels that allow you to reach your goals. We take a data-driven approach focused on tangible results, with people who live and breathe the tactic across clients and verticals. They have their finger on the pulse of a constantly changing media and your competition. And we love technology, but it doesn’t always love you, so we match you with minimally-necessary solutions for your situation. Find out more about paid media and how we integrate it and leverage your owned and earned media channels.
What is owned media?
Owned media channels are within your control and deliver a purposeful message like your website, blog, videos, email, podcasts, and social media. Marketing Voice helps you create (or refine) your owned media efforts to leverage your brand at scale and ultimately reduce its dependency on paid media. We can produce it for you or set you up with the infrastructure to do it yourself. It’s backed by a data-driven integrated marketing strategy to drive engagement and growth. Think of a piece of content as the nucleus and your owned media channels as the lowest-cost form of distribution. Learn how to accelerate your growth with owned media and its significant impact on your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and branding initiatives.
What is earned media?
Press is possible! It’s also defined in many ways in today’s market: experiential content, social media, influencers, strategic alliances, publicity, and public relations. Marketing Voice creates earned media opportunities through traditional media and social media placements. The brand engagement and lift from earned media’s third-party impressions make a measurable difference. And a two-way dialogue between your brand and target audience also invites brand partnerships and strategic alliances, taking your brand’s growth to the next level. Find out how our team has put brands on the map through earned media. And the longer-term, lasting impact it has on your SEO and backlinking efforts.
What is shared Media?
Marketers love acronyms and naming things. Shared media is marketing speak for the crossover between paid, owned, and earned media. For example, some companies consider social media all three. And because of the longer-term (but high octane!) payout from content marketing and public relations, many view these forms of owned and earned media as shared. The ultimate goal is to leverage as many of your paid, owned, and earned media efforts as possible to scale. Learn how we can do it for you.
CONTENT PLATFORMS
A content platform combines a story to tell with the ability to capture and distribute it systematically. The more passion in the message, the sweeter the juice! Marketing Voice helps you develop a content strategy to produce content for the various stages of your funnels. We create campaigns that target a specific audience and deliver it to them in the most receptive manner, prompting action. It turns “random content adventures” into a platform that strategically tells your story and tactically leverages it through all your touchpoints. And in time, it pumps numbers! A healthy content platform is set up to control your working spend (costs to distribute) and non-working spend (cost to produce). And there are content plans for all budgets, so if cost has been an obstacle, find out why it shouldn’t be.
