Simplify & Maximize w Google

Google this, Google that.  Yeah, yeah…but the fact is, they are an amazing company and to me, they are the BEST friend of the small business owner. They make all sorts of cool products that other companies charge for…but Google gives them away for free.

The Google Eco-system.

Emotional Branding Strategies

We develop and execute Emotional Branding Strategies using pictures, music, video and great story telling that moves people to take action or makes people remember.   In an “ad-numb” world, visitors won’t pay serious attention to another clever pitch ~ but what if that pitch has a picture or a video or a sound or song that triggers a memory or feeling in them?   If you get people’s emotional attention, then you have their full attention.  Emotion is the core of truly connecting with people.

Enough text!  Check out some audio and video examples.

I'll go crazy about your brand so you don't have to!  :-)

I'll go crazy about your brand so you don't have to! :-)

MJ Creative Solutions is a “one-stop creative shop” for making it all happen.  Not only can we help tell your story, but we’ll execute it and strategically deliver it, using appropriate web-based methods like: websites, collateral branding, songs, voice-overs, social networking, blogs, viral videos, PodCasts, pictures, mobile, online ads, etc.

“I don’t need branding strategies because I really don’t have a brand.”

You don’t have a brand?  Well, nowadays EVERYONE is a brand and yes…this means YOU.   Personalized branding and self-expression brings an integrity to business that keeps customers coming back.  We are experts at helping you learn how to discover and express your true self ~ and this single point is what MJ is most passionate about.

STOP! Don’t Hire Your Nephew

We have salvaged many “buddy deals gone bad” and have heard a myriad of website horror stories:  The website that HAD a decent ranking only to drop through the floor when a new design revamp killed it.  Or what about the super cool but “hard to navigate” website that nobody could actually get around on?   Boring content…missed markets?  Be careful.

What about saving a buck and doing it yourself?  Sure, go make a website tonight with Yahoo, Google or GoDaddy but “do it yourself” usually means, “do it AGAIN.”  The money you think you could save by being your own “geek” or hiring your nephew is easily lost in time, stress, and a failed end result.  Bricks and mortar no more, your online presence is where it’s at and where you MUST invest wisely.


What about SEO or SEM?   At MJCS, we don’t use any tricks or gimmicks here.  We take a simple and conservative approach that we think works. All of those website tricks and gimmicks are like the Wall-Street tricks and gimmicks…they cause recessions!

How Fast Are You Impressed?

How Fast Are You Impressed?

Still not convinced?   Let’s talk about first impressions ~ Consider how you yourself are impressed by a well-crafted website or message versus a lame one.  Research shows that people make that first impression within 1/20th of a second. Yikes!  If your total brand image (pictures, colors, copy, layout, logo, video, audio, message) appears to be unprofessional, many prospects won’t even bother to dig for that great page of information you just “KNOW they’ll be hooked by if they could just get there.”   They’ll go to #2 in the search ranking.  So you see how saving a buck here is not really saving a buck?

You may have a great brand image and even a slick website but really ~ does your website actually work for you?

Where do people click?  Where don’t they?  Do you know why?  Do you have analytics engaged?  Are you using old rules for SEO and keywords?  Websites are NOT read left to right and frankly, they’re not really even read anymore ~ they’re skimmed. We all want to click and click and click and find the payoff.  What’s yours?

MJCS can help you deliver one.   Using text, video, audio, music, pictures and strategic placement, we’ll help you communicate your message quickly so your visitor will stay on your site longer and click, click, click away!   We’ll also offer solutions for expanding that message in unconventional and outside-the-box methods.
