Proven TideTurner™ process

Transform insights into actionable strategies and sustainable outcomes

We’ve developed a comprehensive digital marketing framework that comprises five stages, each one critical to the overall success of an online marketing strategy.

This stage focuses on understanding the core components of your online presence. It involves an in-depth analysis of your organization, identifying what sets you apart, understanding your clients’ needs and preferences, and assessing the landscape within your sector. Strategies and tactics are then developed to align your digital presence with these insights. The culmination of this phase is a solution presented in a proposal, laying the groundwork for website design and development.

In this phase, we emphasize creating a functional, reliable, and usable website. Key attributes include ensuring the site is live, hosted efficiently with good load times, and free from spam and errors, providing a seamless user experience. The site should also feature good design principles, a robust content management system, analytics to track user behaviour, and responsiveness across multiple devices. Moreover, the website must be comprehensible to your audience, with content and design tailored to your client avatar, incorporating effective onsite SEO, an effective conversion strategy, list building, and nurturing pathways.

With an effective website in place, the focus shifts to attracting visitors through various digital marketing channels. This involves deploying lead magnets to attract interest, using content marketing to provide value, driving paid traffic for immediate reach, enhancing offsite SEO for broader visibility, leveraging organic social media to build community, and employing lead-generation strategies to grow your base.

Once traffic is directed to the site, the next objective is to optimize the user experience to increase conversion rates. This entails refining the user journey, streamlining funnel design, considering offline factors that may influence online behaviour, and rigorously measuring ROI to understand what works and what doesn’t. Continuous process improvement through iterative testing is key to ensuring efficiency and effectiveness.

The final phase is about leveraging the success of your digital marketing efforts to achieve broader organizational objectives. This involves gaining a clearer vision of your organizational objectives, setting you up for financial success, giving you more say over your company’s direction, and ultimately achieving an enhanced quality of life for you and your team. You’ll move beyond optimizing a marketing funnel and set up your entire organizational ecosystem for sustained growth and fulfillment.
