Online Marketing Company, fishbat, Releases Statement in Response to Mark Cuban Moving his Mavericks and 70 More Companies Away from Facebook

/in /by

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) November 30, 2012

On November 30, 2012, the online marketing company, fishbat, responds to the news that Mark Cuban was moving his Mavericks and 70 more companies away from Facebook. fishbat emphasizes the importance of creating a strategic online marketing plan utilizing a multitude of social media platforms to maximize effect and reach fans.

According to Dan Lyons, Editor-in-Chief of ReadWrite, “Cuban and other corporate Facebook members are howling because new rules on the social network make it harder for brands to reach people without spending big money on sponsored posts.” The article reports that this and Cuban’s belief that “it’s a reflection of [Facebook’s] overall design and strategy weakness,” has Cuban focusing the Mavericks and his other companies on other social media outlets, like Twitter, Tumblr, and the new MySpace.

Lyon also reports that “Facebook insists it isn’t choking off reach as a way to push brands to spend more on sponsored posts.” According to Facebook, they constantly work to improve its algorithm, called EdgeRank, to make it more effective and the most recent update’s “goal was simply to cut down on spam in people’s news feed.”

Nick Renna, fishbat’s Social Media Strategy Manager, weighs in by saying “The number of social media platforms are increasing and the value a brand gets from one outlet will be different from the value garnered from another. It is important to be strategic. Incorporate a mix of social media campaigns in your online marketing plan to achieve the desired effect of reaching your fans and maximize your online marketing success.”

“Brands need to be strategic,” Renna continues. “Abandoning social media is not the answer. It is essential to develop an online marketing strategy that reaches your fans through a mix of social media. Strategically creating unique and valuable content will also help you to maximize your brand’s success online. A good post that provides value to your fans will not go unnoticed.”

fishbat, Inc. is a full service social media agency. Through social media management, search engine optimization (SEO), web design, and public relations, fishbat strives as a marketing firm to raise awareness about your brand and build up your corporate image.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 24, 2014

On February 21, 2014, host Michelle Matthews of Growth Matters on Business RadioX® welcomed to the studio David Lilenfeld with SterlingFunder and Mark Shekerow with CareGiver Communications for a tutorial on crowdfunding.

David Lilenfeld is Co-Founder and CEO of SterlingFunder, an Atlanta-based equity and debt crowdfunding portal with an innovative approach to connecting startup companies seeking capital with qualified investors. According to Lilenfeld, “Our mission is to be the catalyst for business growth, economic development and job creation through the power of the crowd. We provide the platform, education and tools to shift the power from Wall Street to Main Street.”

As a lawyer, investor and entrepreneur, Lilenfeld recognizes the enormous effect crowdfunding will have on businesses and individual investors across the country and eventually the world. Explained Lilenfeld, “When The JOBS Act – which makes equity-based crowdfunding legal in the United States – became law, I began planning a way to help match passionate, smart entrepreneurs with intelligent, growth-minded investors in a union that has been unduly burdensome to make before crowdfunding.”

Also in the studio was Mark Shekerow, CEO at CareGiver Communications, Inc., an organization that provides information that helps improve the lives of caregivers and those that they care for. They provide a low cost way for local and national companies that provide goods and services for the 60 million caregivers nationwide to reach this $ 300 billion market. According to Shekerow, “We have evolved from a regional magazine based business to a multi-media company with emphasis on the internet, internet radio, TV and a national publication.”

As part of that growth, Shakerow explained, “We’ve been working on the business for a number of years, and we’re to a point where we need additional funding to grow, and that’s why we’re pursuing crowdfunding.”

Entrepreneurial Expert Mark Bunting Provides Exclusive Interview for SarderTV

/in , /by

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 20, 2014

Mark Bunting, former CEO of SkyTV, author of Virtual Power and media personality recently provided an interview for SarderTV where he talked about how he achieved success and personal stories of business successes and failures. In this interview with Russell Sarder, CEO of NetCom Learning and SarderTV, the popular video learning channel, Mark Bunting whose company SkyTV was the first company to produce a nationally syndicated show centered on technology, provides a candid look at a variety of subjects dear to his heart including education, the world of media, marketing and branding products and entrepreneurship.

“Mark Bunting epitomizes the perfect mentor, an eminently successful entrepreneur who loves to share his knowledge with others so they can learn from both his successes and mistakes,” said Russell Sarder, CEO of NetCom Learning.

A man who has spent his life straddling the fence between media and technology, Mark Bunting offers a unique understanding of both worlds. During the interview Mark addresses how he came to be an entrepreneur through mentorship from his father who he calls a “serial entrepreneur” and a strong burning drive to succeed. He believes that while leaders can improve their skills by learning most great leaders have almost a calling to their role and bring to the table a strong character, and an ability to inspire and communicate. He also believes that failures are “shortcuts to better outcomes somewhere else”. According to Bunting his career has included in his words a string of failures in addition to his many successes the first of which was his inability to become a rock star. In this video interview Bunting discusses his views on determining the true voice of a product, how to hire the right people and keep them motivated and why individuals who do not keep their work skills up to date are putting themselves in harm’s way career wise.

Website Developers Mark Decade of Stunning Change and Growth

/in , /by


Buchanan, Michigan (PRWEB) November 14, 2013

The website developers at Precept Partners recently passed the ten year mark since launching their consultancy in 2003. Company principals noted fundamental changes over the past decade in Internet technology, marketing methods and business models driving growth and change in the online channel.

With offices in the Buchanan (Michigan) Museum of Fine Art, Precept Partners provide Internet strategies, website design, development and online marketing services to clients in e-commerce, retail, manufacturing, high-tech, the arts and not-for-profit sectors, with combined online sales of over $ 100,000,000 to their credit.

Precept’s manager, Stephen Antisdel said, “We launched the company shortly after selling our first Internet business to a venture capital firm. Looking back to 2003, the Internet was a different world then; there was no Twitter or Facebook; no YouTube, no Apple iPhones; Google was still privately held and Amazon’s sales were 1/10th of what they are today. In just ten years these businesses have grown to a combined market cap of over a trillion dollars; they’ve fundamentally changed the landscape of the Internet as a place to do business.”

“The shift from desktop computers to tablets and mobile devices has changed the calculus for website design, keyword advertising and search engine optimization,” added Jeffrey Antisdel, the company’s co-founder. “At the same time, online video and social media have experienced exponential growth in users and the time people are spending online in these channels.”

“Over the last ten years, we’ve responded to these changes with fully responsive website design, data driven online marketing, and new services, including video production. It’s been gratifying to help our clients thrive and grow through this decade of rapid, accelerating change,” concluded Antisdel.
