5 Cool Ways Creative Talent Can Help You Market Your Business

It takes a village to grow a business. The creatives of the professional world bring an intangible element to a marketing campaign. Without their unique skills, brands wouldn’t be memorable and a logo wouldn’t be able to convey an idea.

Creative professionals think outside of the box. They’re the ones revolutionizing the way we market and the mediums that are used. They give us new channels to connect with customers.

Here are a few of the most creative ways creative types are winning over customers.

Whiteboard Videos

Ever since the rise of YouTube, videos have been an important part of the online marketing landscape. Writing, producing, editing and publishing online videos can be done on the cheap or cost thousands of dollars. However, when things are done right videos can improve search ranking and increase conversion rates by XX%.

One solution that’s been popular in recent years is whiteboard videos. They are short videos that show a hand drawing animations and messages while a voiceover plays. A whiteboard video is an effective way to market because it is succinct, visual and interesting. They’re also one of the most affordable ways to market with online video.

Evolving Ads

It takes a very creative mind to come up with evolving ads that use artificial intelligence. The creatives at M&C Saatchi in the U.K. are currently working on poster style ads that have an interactive element. As people interact with the advertising, it will prompt the ad to change.

Even though the poster creates messaging own its own over time, it’s the people behind the design that are really impressive. The artificially intelligent posters aren’t just genius marketing, they’re also a great way to gather consumer data.

Wall Murals

In cities like Austin, San Diego and Portland wall murals are a common sight that attracts a lot of attention. Businesses with corner location are in a prime spot to hire artists that can create logo murals on the side of the building. Walls inside can also be transformed for one-of-a-kind interior décor.

If you’re the creative type and have graphic design skills you can also create a design online then have it made into a wall decal. There are plenty of online sign makers that allow you to upload your own designs or one an artist creates for you.
