1. Social Media Marketing: Pioneering Connection and Engagement
From the early days of platforms like MySpace to the modern dominance of Instagram and TikTok, JSMM has consistently been at the forefront of harnessing the power of social media. We understand that social media is more than just a platform – it’s a gateway to meaningful connections, authentic engagement and a space where brands can truly resonate with their audiences.
Driving Tangible Results: A Case Study
Tensentric, a client-driven by innovation in medical device design and manufacturing, provides a prime example of the impact of our social media strategies. Thanks to a data-driven marketing approach and A/B testing, Tensentric experienced a remarkable transformation in its LinkedIn outreach.
In just a few weeks, Tensentric’s LinkedIn acceptance rate skyrocketed from 5% to an impressive 25%. But the success story doesn’t end there. In three months, Tensentric witnessed a 4.5% increase in followers, a 5.71% increase in organic impressions and an outstanding 71% increase in page views. These statistics vividly demonstrate the potential of establishing meaningful connections and authentically engaging with a brand’s target audience through a growth marketing approach.
2. Digital Marketing: Navigating the Digital Landscape
The digital realm is a dynamic landscape where strategies evolve at the speed of technology. JSMM’s expertise in digital marketing spans various disciplines, from the intricacies of SEO to crafting compelling content marketing campaigns and engaging email strategies. We’ve navigated the complexities of the digital world, leveraging data-driven insights to enhance our clients’ digital presence and achieve tangible, measurable results.
Crafting Success through Innovative Campaigns
Delivering exceptional results in the digital space is exemplified by our approach to crafting effective campaigns through our collaboration with a convention center, where our goal was to highlight its recognition as a Top 20 Convention Center in North America. To achieve this, we developed a brand awareness campaign that specifically targeted event planners through strategic remarketing techniques and advertisements on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.
Achieving Remarkable Results
Despite a limited ad spend of $5,000, our efforts yielded remarkable outcomes. The campaign garnered an impressive 253,569 total impressions on Facebook and 268,636 total impressions on Instagram. Even more noteworthy, the campaign achieved an average click-through rate (CTR) of 0.97%, surpassing the industry benchmark of 0.9%.
3. Influencer Marketing: Harnessing the Power of Influence
Understanding the influence of key opinion leaders, JSMM seamlessly integrated influencer marketing into our strategies. We recognize that authenticity and relatability are paramount in today’s marketing landscape. By collaborating with influencers who resonate with target audiences, we’ve facilitated authentic connections that elevate brands beyond traditional advertising.
Empowering Brands with Authentic Influence: A Success Story
With aspirations to tap into a fresh consumer market in Australia, Glyde Premium Dog Mobility Supplement required tactics that would swiftly yield data-rich analytics while extending its brand reach and social media engagement.
In January 2020, we launched an influencer marketing program tailored to their needs, achieving exceptional results. Witnessing a remarkable 37% growth in their following, the program also generated unsolicited testimonials lauding their product’s efficacy. Throughout the subsequent six months, the placements amassed thousands of post engagements and more than 25,000 impressions through both paid and product-trade influencer collaborations. These influential figures, aligned with the pet-friendly ethos, showcased our client’s nutraceutical product for osteoarthritis through heartfelt Instagram content, further amplifying brand authenticity and reach.
4. Brand Marketing: Forging Emotional Connections

JSMM has mastered the delicate art of storytelling, helping brands forge emotional connections with their customers. Our meticulous approach to brand marketing goes beyond selling products – it’s about weaving narratives that resonate with the values and aspirations of the audience, creating lasting brand loyalty.
Empowering Brands through Authentic Narratives and Transforming Engagement
Our commitment to authentic storytelling shines through our recent partnership, where we breathed new life into Deron Cherry Charitable Foundation’s digital presence. Beyond a website revamp, we embarked on a journey to revitalize their social media channels. This encompassed the development of a unique brand voice and a unified aesthetic across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter platforms. The result was a seamless blend of authenticity and visual cohesion that resonated deeply with their audience.
Inspiring Instagram Growth and Engagement
The impact of our approach was profound and swift. Within a mere 28 days of taking the reins of their Facebook page, our efforts ignited remarkable engagement growth. A surge of 73 new page followers was accompanied by a donation garnered from a fundraising event. Impressively, these achievements were magnified by a reach of 117,934 and an admirable 5,531 engagements. Transitioning to Instagram, we transformed their account into a trendy and captivating haven. In just two months, our strategic initiatives propelled organic growth, boosting their followers from 313 to 387 – an increase of 74 followers.
