Welcome to Magnify Digital! Did you get the memo? The World has Changed

Fifty years of one-way conversations. Brands yelling at consumers. Marketing without listening. Well, it’s over. Brands can be massacred online. Or they can become powerhouses.

Magnify Digital thrives in the online world. We can show you what it takes to engage with your target market in the Internet economy. We design measurable online marketing strategies that will grow your brand and your bottom line. Simply put, we know how to MAGNIFY WHAT MATTERS.

Why Magnify?

We’re proud geeks that love gadgets. We get giddy over killer apps. However, we know even the coolest social media channel is only as compelling as the content it conveys.

Storytelling, in an authentic voice, one that resonates with your consumer, is what makes the Magnify Team stand out. For nearly 20 years, we’ve been crafting award
winning stories through our sister company, Out To See Entertainment.
We know that compelling, focused, well-told stories enable you to
engage and hold your audiences; to motivate them into a relationship
with your brand. At Magnify, we show you how to share your stories
online, to ensure those stories are read, understood, and
remembered. Better yet, passed along.

There’s a lot of white noise about social media. It can be confusing,
especially as it applies to business and measuring ROI. The truth is,
social media is not as difficult as it may seem. That’s why the Magnify
has developed a proprietary system to help businesses cut through the
clutter. ALERT is acronym that stands for the five stages of creating and
maintaining a successful online campaign — Assess. Locate. Engage. Respond. Track.

Services

The Magnify Team specializes in designing measurable online strategies that build business. Whether you are launching a start up, deepening an established brand, or developing a television or feature film property, we give our clients tools to engage in authentic two-way conversations with their target markets. Conversations that build visibility, credibility and profitability. We do so using our proprietary
ALERT system.

Assessment

Magnify’s process starts with a comprehensive assessment to reveal
what’s working and opportunities for improvement, all directly linked
to the “ka-ching” of your bottom-line.

Strategy Design

Our assessments provide Magnify vital information needed to design
comprehensive strategies customized to fit each client’s human and financial
resources. Client goals are crystalized. Online target markets are sleuthed out.
The goddess of ROI is our muse.

Strategy Implementation

Every business is unique. Cookie cutter strategies need not apply. How strategies are rolled-out and implemented is your call. Magnify can act as a consultant to your internal team or we can manage the implementation for you.

Monitoring

Smart brands listen as much as they speak. Ongoing online monitoring enables you to observe and engage in current online conversations about your company or products. This allows for nimble response time. Vigilance lets clients douse fires before they blaze and convert happy customers into brand champions.

Monthly Reporting

Comprehensive monthly reports track online conversations, brand awareness, PPC, SEO, traffic and trends for each client, and their top competitors. The best part? Magnify’s proprietary reporting system makes it easy for clients to track ROI.

A.L.E.R.T. is an acronym that stands for the five stages of our process

Assess

MAGNIFY identifies client goals, target audiences, reviews existing digital assets – websites, blogs, social media profiles – to gauge what’s working and
what needs to be tweaked, redeveloped or kaboom’ed and
reinvented. From there we nail key performance indicators and tie
them to measurable results.

Locate

“Build it and they will come?” Not necessarily. We’ve found it often
makes more sense to join a crowd that’s already gathered. MAGNIFY
identifies the online haunts your consumer is now inhabiting. It used
to be that you pushed your message at them in newspaper, TV, radio,
billboard, bars and bookstores. Not anymore. MAGNIFY will take you to
where your target market has moved.

Engage

“Sticky” is a word used to describe web content. Sticky means memorable, interactive
and compelling. It is content you come back to and share with friends. Creating sticky
content is MAGNIFY’s domain of expertise. We can power-out eye-popping vids, quirky
copy, and cutting edge web and mobile apps.

Respond

Today, it is all about creating engaging two-way conversations with your customers. And when you do, guess what? They talk back. Ask tough questions. Give great feedback. We show you how to stand and deliver; to create and inspire dynamic conversations. MAGNIFY helps you stay ahead and guide the flow of the conversations. Smart brands turn feedback into opportunities. It’s all about being timely, transparent, and authentic.

Track

Tracking or monitoring is an important and ongoing part of the ALERT system. Our detailed monthly analysis gives site traffic info, trends and customer behaviour, allowing us to adjust course and deliver ongoing results.

Our Clients

At Magnify, we take our clients’ confidentiality seriously. That’s why we don’t publish our client list. From time to time, with permission, we will publish case studies describing how we meet certain client objectives. Meanwhile, here’s what some of our current clients have to say …

Whistler Film Festival

Magnify helped us to assess our website and social media campaign, and to develop a
strategy that matched our business objectives. This process really enabled us understand
what was working, where major improvements were needed and what opportunities existed.
I am delighted to report that the strategy is working and the proof is in the results. Now that we are headed down this path, there is no turning back.
— Shauna Hardy Mishaw, Executive Director

District of Maple RIdge

When the District of Maple Ridge took on a project to promote festivals in our downtown this past summer – Magnify stepped up. This project was a complex, community based project with limited funding, multiple partners and an impossible delivery timeline but they delivered. Discover Maple Ridge was the result www.mapleridgeweekends.com

With their insight and experience the Magnify team worked WITH us to create a really great solution. In addition to really ‘getting’ what we needed their ability to deliver measurable results set them apart. In our experience their team is easy to work with and always goes the extra mile. Thanks, Magnify!

Vancouver Social Media Day & Canada Day

SocialMediaDayThis past week has been full of celebrations. If you missed out, here’s a recap for you.

On June 24, Victoria, British Columbia became the first city to proclaim June 30 as Social Media Day. See the signed Social Media Day Proclamation. Vancouver was not far behind as you can see in this photo of Pete Cashmore holding the Vancouver Social Media Day Proclamation.

On June 30, people around the world celebrated Social Media Day, which was initiated by Mashable on June 8. Check out what people did to celebrate on Flickr and on YouTube.

Of course, Social Media wasn’t the only big event that happened this week. Canadians across the country took some time to celebrate Canada Day on July 1. Everyone had their own way of celebrating which were shared through photos and videos.

Through online media, these two celebrations, one in its inaugural year and the other being the 143rd year, allowed people to share, connect and communicate across boundaries, time zones and cultures. The way we celebrate together today is vastly different from what was possible, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, let alone 143 years ago.

The world has changed.
