LeapOut Gets Media Spotlight on Award-Winning TV & Radio Show Pilipinas, Ngayon Na

Marvin, LeapOut President and CEO, imparted digital marketing insights on the radio program on the topic Thriving Businesses: Ride the Digital Wave.  Marvin Ortiz, LeapOut Co-Founder and CEO, had the honor of guesting in a radio program Pilipinas, Ngayon Na on January 8, 2024, aired on DWIZ 882 and Aliw TV 23 and hosted by Undersecretary (USec.) Robert Rivera and Lady Elyza. Marvin’s guesting highlighted the power of digital marketing and e-commerce to the hosts, who, like many ordinary Filipinos, are still not well-versed but are enthusiastic about this thriving sector. Helping Businesses Leap Into Digital At the start of the program, USec. Rivera stressed the importance of keeping abreast with developments taking place on the Internet.  “We know that AI and digital are all over. That’s why communication time has been cut considerably. With the touch of a finger, you can video chat anywhere in the world and talk to anyone.” USec Rivera also admitted that many businesses in the Philippines are struggling to compete because they still opt to use traditional methods. However, he emphasized that to be competitive in today’s world, they need to keep up with the fast-changing business practices such as establishing an online business presence.  Taking off from this backgrounder by USec Rivera, Marvin introduced LeapOut and its mission.  He said that the company aims to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and even micro-enterprises “to leap into its digital transformation.” The company equips companies with capabilities to break into and then grow and succeed in the digital realm.  “We are a digital marketing agency that helps businesses maximize their business presence online — especially legacy businesses — to spot more opportunities and thrive online.”   “From First-Scale to Full-Scale” Marvin, one of the pioneers in the country’s digital marketing landscape, commented that it is LeapOut’s mission to help Filipino businesses, especially those who are eager to establish their footprint online via digital marketing.  “The goal of digital companies is not only to share information but also to help users navigate the digital landscape by elevating their user experience. Usually, we help companies that have the vision and goal to serve online customers but have no capabilities and capacities to venture into digital media,” he said. To guarantee success in this transformation, Marvin said LeapOut is committed to empowering its clients to succeed from laying their foundation online to providing excellent customer experience. This end-to-end approach is what digital marketing professionals consider the “from first-scale to full-scale” approach.   Using this extensive approach, the company has provided and is currently providing these services to its clients from SMEs to those belonging to the top ten Philippine companies.  “We have already helped and continue helping businesses and organizations in the Philippines. in transforming their digital footprint,” Marvin added. LeapOut’s clients include household brands such as SM, Ajinomoto, Cebuana Lhuillier, Malayan Insurance, and Wilcon Depot.  To accomplish this, LeapOut helps conceptualize, create, and compose digital content for its three key businesses: social media and content marketing, e-commerce, and paid media. The company started as a digital marketing agency. The company later ventured into e-commerce development and programmatic advertising.    Screengrab of Marvin explaining how digital marketing benefits businesses during the radio interview streamed live on Pilipinas, Ngayon Na Facebook page.  Hypertargeting 101 To showcase what digital marketing can do to businesses on the program, Marvin described the power of programmatic advertising. With this technology, companies can now show their marketing content and copies directly to their specific intended audience.  He demonstrated this technology through an example. A company wants to offer two contents to two demographics: Content A is for seniors and Content B is for millennials. With programmatic advertising in Google and social media platforms, the company can show only Content A for seniors in the platform you subscribed to and Content B to only your target millennial audience. Since this method will only allow your content to be seen by your ideal audience, it provides amazing efficiency to your campaign. It lowers the cost as it prevents you from showing the ads to unintended audiences. And because only your target people can access your content, your probability of sales increases considerably.   It Started With A Mission When talking about LeapOut’s mission, Marvin shared the humble beginnings of the company. He recalled the time when a plumber sought his service when he was still an advertising agent in 2009. Short of funds to pay for the ad, it took some time for the plumber to pay for the creative and publish it online.  At a time when the internet was just starting and selling online services was difficult, the freelance plumber believed that the new tech would open business opportunities. This kindled Marvin’s passion to open an agency to serve as a launch pad for the growth of SMEs and micro businesses. With digital marketing, he believes these small and startup businesses have a “leveling playing field” where they can compete head-on with established companies and corporations. Cybersecurity Insights Aside from digital marketing, Marvin also provided his insights on cybersecurity, especially on email and social media accounts.  “Social media accounts like Messenger and email addresses can be hacked and faked,” he stressed.  One of his takeaways is to be mindful of emails that we receive. For email, check for the sender. To find out if the email address or URL is legitimate, check the domain name if it matches the exact spelling of the domain name (.com or .edu) of legitimate sites. Another thing you can do is to verify whether the sender uses a real name. When you are doubtful of the sender, you should research if the email is factual over the Internet or confirm with your friends and people you trust. Pilipinas, Ngayon Na! airs every 2 pm – 3 pm on DWIZ 882 kHz and Aliw TV 23. The entire interview can be streamed on the Pilipinas, Ngayon Na Facebook page.

Digital Tips: A Guide For Impactful Digital Content

Content marketing is constantly evolving. In fact, there are more than 3 million contents published on the internet every day. From blog posts, articles, reviews, social media posts, content is shared everyday. As a business, it’s now important to pay close attention to how readers are changing. Brands need to constantly experiment innovating digital content for them to keep their readers engaged. Let’s look at the tips on how digital writers can publish relevant and impactful content for their readers. Read on the list here: Determine target audience Before getting down to writing, the first thing to determine is the goal the brand is trying to achieve. Who are you the people that you want to talk to. Are they Millennials, Gen X or Gen Z? What types of articles, blogs or social media content would they like to read? Do they prefer friendly, formal or serious tone? After answering these questions, you will have a good idea of what kind of content will be helpful for them. Not delivering the right content to your target audience may render your efforts completely irrelevant and can waste the marketing goals of the brand. Think of the right type of content for your target audience Take a look at what kind of content your audience would want to read. Does your audience want to be entertained, educated, inspired? Once you figure out what kind of content can help your audience, it’s time for you to conceptualize the topics  you want to publish. From there, focus on how to properly connect with your audience through your writing. Come up with original content This is probably the most challenging part of writing but absolutely the most exciting one. Google likes original content. Writing  original content will help your brand get more exposure and rank higher in search engine results. If Google finds out duplication on your articles, your website can be penalized or, worse, not rank at all. As a result of creating your own content, your website can get better rankings which can give a positive impact of the brand on the online world. Determine your content’s value Does your content teach your audience something?  Is your content remarkable? Do your content provide answers? The goal of writing content is to provide useful information and gives answer to readers. This is, after all, why they visit your website in the first place. To meet those expectations, remember to provide your readers with relevant content that can help them make decisions. Not just how but also what the strongest foundation of what, where, when, why and who. Make sure your content is worth sharing Great content doesn’t stop with having great information; it should also have great emotional pull on your readers. Your content must be interesting. Provide your readers with something new or something unusual. It is usually content that cannot be typically seen across the internet. It can be based on experience or from books and magazines. Your content should also evoke emotions such as surprise, amusement and awe. Readers tend to share content that pushes their emotions. If content makes the readers feel something while reading it, there’s a huge chance for them to engage and convert. Lastly, determine the connection of  your content to your reader. Readers search. Write not just because you want to rank higher in the search engines but because you want to impart something informative and useful to your target audience’s daily lives. Write because you have the appreciation and understanding on what writing is. Write topics because you know and enjoy it. If you need help with creating content, reach us out at [email protected].

Outsourcing your SEO

5 Noteworthy Advantages of Outsourcing your SEO

People expect businesses these days to have an online presence. With Google having 3.5 billion searches everyday, it’s easy to see the opportunities that come with placing your brand on the web. Once you reach the top of search engines, a plethora of benefits await you — your business will be more accessible, you will develop customer trust, you have more ways to reach your company objectives, and so on. This is why Search Engine Optimization has been one of the prevalent techniques that businesses consider as a crucial part of their marketing operations. However, SEO work is demanding work, which can be daunting especially when you need to focus on other company concerns. Outsourcing your SEO may be the solution you’re looking for, and here are notable reasons why. 1. Expertise Outsourcing your SEO duties to a reliable marketing agency will serve as a great advantage, since you can utilize their extensive knowledge in the field. Professionals, carefully picked by the agency itself, will execute the processes for you, be they technical or creative, on-site or off-site. Your business will need experts who are always updated on the current trends and are committed to keeping your brand at the top of the list and trusted by search engines. Leaving all the work to a competent SEO team with the specific skill set needed is one of the key things to get ahead. 2. Cost-effective One of the significant advantages when it comes to outsourcing your SEO work is how cost-effective it is. Hiring in-house requires financially managing training, salary and vacation leaves. While it is common to deem agencies as costly, it is also worth noting that they utilize methods that have been proven effective and reliable, and the investment a company devotes to outsourcing ultimately pays off tenfold. Choosing a good agency will also allow you to have an efficient website at minimal cost, and having a fixed cost for your SEO can let you better manage company finances. 3. Comprehensive analyses and reports SEO agencies are focused sharply on analyzing every corner of your site. They have experts who understand the importance of analyzing why your site is having a certain amount of traffic. They aim to determine how SEO can improve your current business structure as well. They are adept in finding unfavorable elements that may detract you from reaching your company’s goals, and have a lot of suggestions and plans of action to boost your site. They manage detailed records of the progress of their campaign, which allows them to alter their mode of action accordingly so your company can reap optimum benefits. 4. Consistency It is a must for those working on SEO to be dedicated and to produce output regularly. However, it can pose a challenge for companies especially to those that waver with regard to non-core business activities. Agencies thrive on consistency and commitment in order to achieve the company’s desired results. You can be at ease with their constant output with no down time or unscheduled breaks. 5. Fast quality work Aside from saving money, outsourcing your SEO work primarily saves you time. SEO requires constant attention and perseverance, especially since it’s ever-evolving. While some companies are dubious at the thought of leaving some of their work to an agency and how it may be disadvantageous to not experience the whole process, a good agency will leave you with a calming assurance that all the quality work needed for your company is being handled and produced, and that you can engage and be updated of the process your site is undergoing at any time. Leapout Digital is a leading multi-channel marketing agency with offices at Manila and Melbourne, offering efficient outsourcing services that can be beneficial for your company. It is our aim to tailor the best marketing strategies for your business. For more of our digital marketing services, contact us today!
