Social Media Updates

Blair Stonehouse - Wednesday, March 21, 2012

Changes to Facebook

Most of you would know by now that Facebook has gone through some major changes in the past few months introducing 'Time Line" to personally profiles and the to business pages. These changes have left a lot of previously designed landing pages ineffective and in some cases useless. If you would like to organise a time to discuss ways that the new format can benefit you and your business contact us to arrange a one on one social media training session

2011, In a nutshell

Blair Stonehouse - Friday, January 20, 2012

Relaunch & New office

After parting ways with Design Experts, Blair decided it was time for Limelight Marketing to get off the bench (first opened in 2004 and then laying dormant from 2009-2011) and re-enter the market place with a new mission and new lease on life. First port of call was a new office at Level 40/140 William Street in Melbourne CBD. Next was the launch of a brand new website to communicate and assist existing and potential clients with service information and resources.

Websites Launched

Limelight Marketing | Steal the Limelight.com

With the re-launch of Limelight Marketing a new site was need. So we carefully mapped out the needs and requirements and then came up with an architecture that is both easy to navigate and full of helpful information without being to text heavy and boring. it incorporates a blog (as you can see) Facebook integrated gallery's, like buttons and news feed, As well as a helpful resource section to help you maximize your online presence.
 

The Dazed Elite | theDazedElite.com.au

Fashion Designer and 'Project Runway' contestant Claire Hocking needed a new site to go along with her new designer clothing range (Ritualistic Desires). So we created a site that is easily updated with images and upcoming designs. All whilst being in line with their current marketing material. The beauty of this site is that when the marketing material changes the site theme can be easily adjusted to incorporate any designer direction the clothing label may take.

Adam Wood Group | AdamWoodGroup.com.au

After opening their doors in 2009 Adam Wood Group has swiftly grown in to one of Melbourne's best commercial construction companies. 2011 saw this growth compound and thus a new website was needed to portray this success. The new site has a virtual tours of some of the high end work completed in 2001 as well as a secure file transfer system allowing staff and contractors easy and immediate access to all supporting documentation for their current projects.

JH & Co Management  | JHco.com.au

To set them selves aside from the average accountancy firm JH & Co Management decided to take technology by the horse and introduce an intranet that allows their clients to login in to the personal and secure client login where all their individual documentation is intently available  for secure download and upload. This system take the headache out of keeping client file up to date both on the clients personal computer and the file database at JH & Co's office.

Commercial Facade Supplies | CommercialFacadeSupplies.com.au

Stepping in to a large commercial supply field such as Commercial Facade Supplies did, a comprehensive and easy to use site is a must. We carefully planned hoe potential client would navigate the site and what information is being searched to ensure all visitors find exactly what they are looking for in a timely fashion.

Social Media

To launch Limelight Social Media assault we incorporated a few techniques to boost traffic and increase interaction, one of which was to offer a free Facebook (html) landing page to all enquiries via our Facebook page. We also randomly gave away prizes (free web page, Free eMarketing plan &/or a free Facebook landing page) to those who answered questions correctly or hit lies ones such as our 500th person to like our page.

Cyber Safety

Working with Verb (a local social worker) in Ballarat Blair and Verb held a day of short informative session with the year 7-10 students of Sebastopol Secondary College. The sessions were aimed at taking a holistic approach to combating cyber bulling. Educating not just the students on the affects of cyber bullying and how to protect themselves but also educating the teachers and pedants so they have a better understanding of what is happening on social media sites.

Possibly the last show on the Filthy freaks calendar was a low key club show in Melbourne. Both Blair and Real still love playing but due to independent projects and outside commitments at this stage no further dates have been booked

SEO landing pages

Blair Stonehouse - Friday, December 09, 2011

Today Limelight Marketing launched 3 new landing pages target and funneling traffic from search engines back to the main site (www.stealthelimelight.com).

The first of the three sites is 'Melbourne Web Design' (www.melbourne-web-design.net) is design to rank high in Google for all things design orientated, web, print and digital artwork. Upon visiting this site you will see a strong focus around these words and topics.

The second of these site is 'Melbourne Website' (www.melbourne-website.com) is focused around ranking high for topics surrounding websites; Content management systems, shopping carts, reports and analytics.

The third of these site is a little broader, 'eMarketing Melbourne'. With the site (www.emarketing-melbourne.com) online marketing as a whole is the focus. Email marketing, social media marketing, search engine marketing, search engine optimisation Google adwords and pay per click all warrant a mention and link back to information on the 'Steal the Limelight' website.

Over the next few months we will be monitoring these site, where they gain traffic from and where they drive traffic to. In the mean time we can tune them with the use of such tool as Keyword clouds, and SEO simulators to replicate and tweak the way that spiders and robots 'see' them

 

Happy coding,

Blair
