Westfield, NJ – May 15, 2009 –In the October issue of Commerce, the magazine took 10 of New Jersey’s top advertising agency executives and sat down with them to discuss the anatomy of a successful ad campaign. When David Fink, President and Chief Communications Officer at The David Henry Agency was posed the question, “How can a company establish a brand in niche markets? What are the elements of a successful branding campaign?” he responded:
“As a brand, you need to act like a politician and get your vote out, tell people who you are, what you stand for and what you can do for them. Establish credibility and tell them why you are unique—especially when there are well-known companies providing your product or service in your prospective markets. Establish a platform for your marketing efforts that specifically addresses the needs and wishes of the niche community and how you will fulfill those needs. Retain some key industry people to be your “cheerleaders” (those who already cast a large shadow: consultants, leading manufacturers, media, others). Announce your ‘ticket’ by executing a comprehensive marketing/PR/media plan that not only makes a splash but also sets the stage for a long-term sustained campaign. Having the right offer with the right story and the right people supporting you is a terrific foundation for capturing the lion’s share of a vertical market.”
