MARKETING - PART 2
How To Rebrand Your Professional Image:
Tracking Constancy In Marketing 'Klout'

December 16, 2015

Note: Earlier this year, voice over pro Debbie Irwin (pictured here) wanted a fresh approach to her voice over marketing. Here's Part 2 of the step-by-step process of how that was accomplished.

By Moises Morales

Marketing Communications Specialist

We are now in the 'Constancy' of marketing stage - the third C of Branding - showcasing the new Debbie Irwin Voiceovers to the world, and working toward her goals and objectives.

As an authority in the voice over industry, Debbie begins daily "relevant” social media posts (across the platforms I felt would be most effective for her, the others were deactivated), and weekly blog posts.

Better still, we created a #VOnow blog series (based on her branded hashtag: #VOnow), where she gathers her thoughts about the voice over industry.

Combing through the content, we go back and forth with edits and then I present a final version for approval before it goes live. This alone has increased engagement across her social media profiles.

She’s been able to use it to inform those interested in, or curious about, being a voice over artist; and direct these resources to people who ask for advice on being a voice over artist.

NOW WITH 'KLOUT'

Another goal was to increase business. Her "Klout Score” has jumped 25% since the rebranding, going from 42 to 55 in three short months.

Klout is a website and mobile app that uses social media analytics to rank its users according to online social influence via the "Klout Score," which is a numerical value between 1 and 100.

The increase in her "Klout Score” clearly demonstrates an increase in Debbie's exposure, as we send out monthly email newsletters to keep the voice over industry, as a whole, informed of Debbie’s recent work and availability.

In short, with Debbie’s rebranding now public (and periodically assessed), my role is to manage Debbie Irwin’s online presence to ensure one look, one feel, and one tone to the company’s brand messaging across both traditional and non-traditional marketing channels.
