WHAT WE DO

Stradella Road delivers actionable branding, marketing, and sales strategy for an eclectic roster of clients to support their business goals.

As a small and nimble consultancy, we identify what matters most to our client’s audience via business and consumer insight, and leverage these connection points through memorable storytelling and interactive experiences.

Recent examples of our work include:

  • Helping a client to turn around a slow decline that was sapping the company’s vitality by expanding their services and client base, and re-energizing their staff.
  • Transforming a start-up with a promising business plan into a market-ready business by identifying key targets, and producing customized presentation materials.  Case Study: Percy 3D Media
  • Client business optimization with customer survey and SWOT Analysis, followed by revising their Marketing Brief and sales materials.
  • Building a bigger audience and ongoing relevance for a traditional media organization looking to use Social Media to attract younger, digital savvy demos.  Case Study: The Los Angeles Times.\\

SOCIAL MEDIA

Stradella Road can help your company overcome obstacles, reduce risk, and thrive in Social Media. We build Social Media strategy in five steps.

1. Assessment & Diagnosis: Carefully define the target consumer set and understand what drives them, incorporating personas, psychographics, and life-stage segmentation.

2. Activation & Distribution Strategies: Our campaigns are built on the principles that add value in social communities—Accessibility, Authenticity, Immediacy, and Personalization. Our distribution emphasizes the Fast and the Flexible.

3. Internal Process/Training: Transitioning from a central “push” marketing model to a collaborative one invites in new types of customers who are increasingly active and demanding. This in turn, requires companies to meet these new needs via a more active, engaged, and skillful staff.

4. Awareness & Advocacy Platforms: Our approach tightly entwines Earned Media with Social Media in order to deliver vastly greater speed, and depth of distribution than traditional Paid Media can.

5. Evaluate, Optimize, Evolve: Our approach can be used to incubate, test, and optimize creative concepts, products, and services. Our monitoring and metrics systems identify which triggers and actions achieve real results, and our modular, systematic messaging approach allows space for feedback and evolution.

MOVIEGOERS STUDY

Where do moviegoers really spend their time? What are the social dynamics of the decision-making process? How do we synthesize the sea changes taking place with digital technologies in order to reach the right audience with the right message at the right time in the right place?

We designed the Moviegoers research study in 2010 to answer these questions, and to provide film marketers with actionable insights into how to best reach movie consumers over the next decade.
