An “earworm” is a catchy phrase, or a shocking image, something TRULLY “sticky” that BURNS a memory into your brain. Think about Nike and their “Just Do It” slogan. Or, “The Few… The Proud… The Marines”. McDonalds, “I’m Lovin’ It” or Maybeline’s “Maybe She’s Born With It. Maybe It’s Maybelline”. The point is THIS… TV and traditional marketing place YOUR ADS smack dab in front of consumers who ARE NOT currently looking for your goods or services. They are watching TV at home relaxing, or at the gym listening to music, or surfing their social media feeds.

HOWEVER, and THIS is where the MAGIC happens, YOUR face and IMAGE and SLOGAN get FOREVER embedded into the brains of your new potential clients. Subconsciously, they STORE your info into the recesses of their “mental warehouse”. 

HOWEVER, and THIS is where the MAGIC happens, YOUR face and IMAGE and SLOGAN get FOREVER embedded into the brains of your new potential clients. Subconsciously, they STORE your info into the recesses of their “mental warehouse”.  

This is HOW you BUILD your BRAND and your business IDENTITY. Traditional gives you a “two-for-one PUNCH”. First, you build your brand recognition and tap into new potential clients that you miss from digital. Second, you INCREASE the productivity and profitability of your DIGITAL ads. Yes, that’s right, traditional marketing SIGNIFICANTLY HELPS your digital marketing campaigns. 

When someone “Google searches” for goods or services, even if you come up number 1, 2, or 3, there are STILL about 12 other options to click on. However, if the searcher SAW one of your TV commercials, OTT ads on YouTube, drove by one of your billboards, or heard your radio jingle on the radio, that EARWORM resurfaces and then they SEE your DIGITAL ad. That digital ad STANDS OUT amongst the other 12 ads, and YOU get the CLICK and the CALL. 

Don’t Let “Sticker Shock” Shut Down Your Thoughts About TV & Traditional Marketing –INVEST in Your Ads and MAKE MONEY

Okay, so if you’re still reading through this page, chances are you are considering a TV and/or traditional marketing campaign. So, let’s cut to the chase. The number one question we get asked is “how much do I need to spend on ads?” and we understand why. We are REAL at Big Bang. Paid ad campaigns can sometimes (very often if your an attorney) have a “scary sticker price” when you first look at the numbers. However, you are actually NOT spending a PENNY on paid ads. 

Instead, you are INVESTING in your business. You are INVESTING in paid ads. We URGE clients to look at their paid ad campaigns NOT as a cost, NOT as how much you spent, BUT INSTEAD on HOW MUCH MONEY you MADE from your campaigns. It takes capital for a campaign to run right. Most marketing agencies are TOO AFRAID to tell their clients the truth. At Big Bang, we tell it like it is.  

Our traditional marketign team is headed by industry leader, Mr. Gary Hewitt. He brings over THREE DECADES of experience with him to Big Bang. Yes, for 31 years Mr. Hewitt has rubbed elbows with the biggest brands and names in TV and Radio/Print marketing and branding. Our team will work with you and your staff to determine a budget we believe will give us the most bang for your buck, and most of all, give us the opportunity to land you the quality leads you’re looking for. 

Big Bang’s 5 Key Principles for Our Traditional Ads Team

NUMBER ONE: Honesty is the best policy – Don’t speak about a product or service unless you fully understand it. It’s OKAY to tell a client that you don’t know the answer, BUT that you will find someone who does and get back to them. 

NUMBER TWO: Do NOT over promise and under deliver. PERIOD. Set REAL expectations with your clients. 

NUMBER THREE: Stay organized. Traditional marketing such as TV, radio, and print have specific deadlines to meet in order to post ads, BE ON TOP of your pipeline and KNOW your clients deadlines.

NUMBER FOUR: Treat our clients’ ad campaigns as if it were yours. Better, treat your clients’ ad campaigns success as if your income depended upon it. Guess what, it does. If our clients are not making money, Big Bang isn’t making money, and YOU’RE not making money. 

NUMBER FIVE: Smile, have fun, and enjoy what you do. Work isn’t everything. Your health, your family/friends, your happiness comes first. Happy Traditional Ads team members excel.
