Boost your Minnesota business with Neon Lizard Creative. Expert digital & social media marketing drives engagement, brand awareness, and client growth. Di g i t al + Social Media Marketing Services Creating a custom design library for your brand helps you stand out from the crowd, increase recognition, and be remembered. CONTACT US GET NOTICED ON SOCIAL MEDIA The beauty of digital is that there is no cost other than the cost to design and place. No printing, delivery fees, etc. It moves seamlessly from platform to platform with minor alterations and has the added benefit of being interactive. So much to be grateful for, except for the fact there are 9 trillion ads in your client's feed! Needless to say, it is hard to get noticed and make an impact. Digital marketing is about the implementation of a stellar brand on a variety of customized digital marketing channels. To achieve objectives, such as growing your products or service sales and profits, one must create engaging brand awareness and build relationship with your target audience. Digital Design services: Digital Marketing // Design for All Platforms // Marketing Strategy // Digital Advertising Campaigns // Social Media Strategy // Social Media Library Creation // Email Marketing + Nurturing // Copywriting/Content // SEO + Keyword Strategy // Reporting + Metrics DIGITAL MARKETING STRATEGY Technology is in constant flux. Its constant challenges and benefits create a love/hate scenario for consumers and businesses alike. NLC strives for a well-rounded relationship with you and your brand, so our approach to digital must fall right in line with what we preach. We are the stewards of your brand — digital or traditional, so it must meet all brand criteria, have purpose and measurable results that amplify and accelerate success. Technology and times are going to change, but we can certainly control the effectiveness, watch trends and pivot accordingly to assure that your objectives are fully met. CONTACT US HOW TO CONNECT People seek brands with a point of view, a unique voice, and a clear, decisive message. You have to call out to them and appeal to their nature. And while there are organic methods that can catapult brand awareness; metrics, clicks, mentions, and impressions should be counted, compared, and judged on a regular basis to know what is working. It is important to consider a variety of digital marketing avenues. Digital marketing can include SMS (text), paid ads, affiliation and more. There is a wide ocean of data where one can use digital marketing campaigns. One or more channels could play a vital role in helping define your voice and engage your prospects. Don't waste money and time being average. NLC can help you define your digital strategy, get noticed, and convert your followers into paying customers. It's time to get busy! CONTACT US There are 3 billion active social media users Let that sink in for a moment. SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY + MANAGEMENT Social media can be the most important element of inbound marketing and the most popular digital marketing channel. It is well known that Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and dozens of other social networks' influences have changed the digital marketing landscape, establishing a new communication channel between customers and brands all over the world. Clubhouse is now the trending social and it is completely dependent on you as an individual and how well you can share your knowledge. We work with brands and organizations to create their social media, strategically plan content long ahead of post-dates, advertising or placement. We believe in libraries of seasonal and evergreen posts to save time and money while we keep your brand in front of your audience. Our goal is not only to deliver thumb-stopping creativity but also to drive measurable results. The stress of social marketing is the need to be so consistent. Our preplanning of social media strategies turn stress into confidence. SEE CASE STUDIES LIKES ARE NOT ENOUGH It is not enough to just have a website or to post about your brand and generate a Facebook page with 1000 likes. Your customers and fans are now expecting much more, such as two-way communication, real-time engagement, interesting content, and ongoing interaction if you have any hope to keep even the loyal followers. Companies using social media benefit by focusing on building a long-term and faithful relationship with their customer. This garners instant feedback, metrics, and referrals for your brand. Referrals are priceless. In short, love the one you're with! CONTACT US Check out our work ! SEE CASE STUDIES What's your brand's KPI? Take our quiz to see how your brand measures up! Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are the critical indicators of how well your brand resonates and performs. TAKE THE QUIZ! Measuring the contribution that a given marketing program has on revenue and profits is the holy grail of marketing measurement. The key is knowing when and what to measure. Relational/awareness marketing does not have measurable data that proves its failure or success, however, over time it becomes apparent. No marketing returns completely void, it just may not have a metric that can be evaluated. Hire us CONTACT US

See how Neon Lizard Creative transformed QualiTru’s sales materials with clear, educational designs. Boost brand impact—explore the case study now! QualiTru Sampling Systems Technical Design Case Study Client: QualiTru Sampling Systems Industry: Aseptic Liquid Sampling Equipment Services provided: Brand Strategy, Graphic Design, Print, Social Media, Presentation, Video, Photography, Translation, Illustration, and more Case Of the many needs of QualiTru, we were tasked with helping create sales slicks for the team. The copy and products were provided, and we were to incorporate the schematics, photos, and more. We needed to provide an easy to understand educational piece that incorporated a positive visual aesthetic and incorporate the brand refresh we had introduced. Of the 30+ sheets, each has its own content but obviously part of the same architecture. Info r ma tive designs Creating informational and technical literature is important to industry and manufacturing. Incorrect data can cause major legal problems and possibly put employees at risk. NLC employs a 10 step QA strategy to counter any risk and assure that the information is exactly what is needed and nothing more. Brevity and clarity are vital in educational literature. We take that seriously. More than just dairy Social media campaign with a mission to introduce QualiTru to sectors other than dairy. QualiTru has three distinct client bases for dairy. One is small to large herd farmers. Another is the distributors, and lastly, the plants that take the product and convert it into market-ready consumables. Each has a critical need for aseptic process. A poor sample can lead to a variety of losses for the farmer. Distributors lose money on a haul if the numbers don't add up on the delivery end. Plants lose money and time having to add fats and proteins because they were misinformed, or a haul is contaminated. In order to keep the industry running smoothly, powerhouses like QualiTru provide tools for gathering the most aseptic sample possible, as easily as possible. Our visuals and content must speak to all three portions of the market, but at the same time be solidly in brand, communicate and draw interest. Much of what we do for the social is promoting brand awareness and we have done that in spades. The company is one to watch! Who knew so much went into liquid consumables? NEXT CASE We help you strengthen your brand by creating a unique message and visual style, so that potential clients not only notice you, but listen to what you have to say, and trust you enough to buy from you.
