Embrace the Season of Renewal


Cultivating Your Marketing Strategy Like a Spring Garden

Aundréa Cika HeschmeyerPresident


As I sip coffee on the patio, inhaling the intoxicating aroma of wet earth and enchanted by the vibrant hues of spring blooms, I'm filled with anticipation. I cannot wait to get my hands dirty in the garden! There's something about the promise of new beginnings and the anticipation of limitless possibilities and opportunities.


Just as the world around us undergoes a metamorphosis, so too should our marketing strategies evolve and get a refresh. With this in mind, I am eager to share 8 tips to help you infuse a breath of fresh air into your marketing efforts this season.


1. Cleanse Your Data: Just as we use spring cleaning to declutter our homes, tidying up your marketing data is essential. Take time to review and update your customer and prospect information, ensuring accuracy and relevance. A clean database serves as the foundation of any successful marketing campaign.


2. Prune Your Content: Like a garden, your content needs regular weeding and nurturing. Take a critical look at what you're putting out there. Is your website copy in need of a refresh? Consider revitalizing your content with updated information, trends, and case studies. Enhance your visuals with fresh, high-quality imagery that mirrors your brand's identity and resonates with your audience.

Penguin City's event beer added a tasty flair and funding to this fundraiser

At MARQUEE, we're passionate about igniting excitement for our clients' events. Recently, we had the pleasure of supporting the Rotary Club of Youngstown for their unique fundraiser, Rotaryclipse. This event celebrated the upcoming solar eclipse while raising funds for community Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education.


Our challenge was to create a social media and merchandise strategy that captured the wonder of the eclipse and effectively communicated the event's purpose. To achieve this, we implemented a multi-faceted approach using relevant hashtags, appealing visuals, teaser posts showcasing glimpses of the event's attractions, exclusive merchandise, and more!


The Results: The Rotaryclipse campaign was a resounding success! Our social media posts garnered significant engagement, driving traffic to the event and generating a buzz around Rotaryclipse. The eye-catching merchandise proved popular, selling briskly throughout the event. Most importantly, the Rotary Club successfully raised funds for its STEAM education programs.


Are you looking to create a stellar event experience for your brand? Contact MARQUEE today and discuss how we can help your next event reach for the stars!

Connecting thru Design

This month, coinciding perfectly with Autism Acceptance Month. we were launch of a completely redesigned website for the Autism Society of Ohio (ASO). I'm excited to share the some of the strategy and details of this project and its impact on the autism community throughout Ohio.


Here are some of the key features of the redesigned ASO website:


  • Enhanced User Experience: We prioritized a streamlined design with clear navigation, making it easier for families and individuals to find the needed resources.


  • Content for All: The ASO website contains a wealth of information, and we ensured it was presented clearly and concisely.


  • Mobile-Friendly Design: In today's digital age, websites must be accessible on all devices. The new ASO website is fully responsive, ensuring a seamless user experience on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.


  • Showcasing Expertise: The ASO is a trusted resource for the autism community in Ohio. The new website reflects this expertise by highlighting the organization's staff and member affiliates.


Together, let's bridge the spectrum and empower the autism community!
