BRANDING INTRODUCTION Hype works with companies to build better stories around their brand. Why? Because branding and design adds spirit and soul to what would otherwise be a robotic, automated, generic price-value proposition. We want to help create compelling, relevant, thoughtful, and most of all impactful stories for brands of all shapes and sizes. Greenstock Greenstock is a chef-inspired salad concept thoughtfully created for the guest that values quality, seasonality and convenience. Hype Founder, Brooke and her husband, Peter have teamed up with the owners of IL Ritorno to bring this fresh option to downtown St. Pete. This project was developed by our team from scratch including a unique name development, brand foundation (or the written representation of the brand), brand identity design, brand evolution, website development, social media content and strategy, and photography. BRANDING BRAND APPAREL PHOTOGRAPHY WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT CUSTOM SOCIAL CONTENT Believe the hype. PACKAGING DESIGN INTRODUCTION We combine art, science, and technology to create product packaging that is not only attractive, but functional and will differentiate your brand from the competition. Using a systematic approach, our creative team will conceptualize and ideate opportunities, and turn them into tangible solutions that your customers will rely on. BarBox Kozuba & Sons Distillery in St. Petersburg, FL had developed a concept that was perfect for the “new normal”: boxed cocktails. They came to Hype in need of a product name, brand identity and packaging design. Our team developed a naming system and package design for multiple flavors/cocktails that aligned with the traditional brand identity of the distillery, but was approachable to their new target audience. Embrew Tea Branding & Packaging Embrew is pre-sweetened artisan hand-packed tea bags in a eclectic variety of flavors and pairings. They needed a full redesign to better represent the product and entice new target audiences. The end result was a intricate brand identity including a developed voice and tone, unique color palettes for each varietal, elevated packaging, and a catalog of assets. collateral design Embrew Tea Brand Evolution Believe the hype. PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO PRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Every business in any industry can benefit greatly from professional photography and video production. No matter who your customers are or what you are selling, high-quality photography and video production is an important asset that will contribute to your overall success, connect with your consumer, and make your brand a reality in their customer journey. Suncoast Credit Union Video Production Suncoast Credit Union came to Hype Group looking to create a local commercial spot to get the word out about their car loan opportunities. Emphasizing the low rates and personalized solutions, Hype concepted, created storyboards, scripted, sourced talent and locations, and shot the spot in downtown St. Petersburg, FL. The outcome is a fresh, delicately shot commercial spot illustrating the journey of their consumer allowing for human connection, credibility and familiarity. Boar’s Head Video Production Boar’s Head came to Hype initially looking to create a social video promoting their products for tailgating. The challenge: they’d never utilized ‘faces’ in their photos/videos, and in order to market to millennials, it was a must. Hype concepted, created storyboards, scripted, sourced talent and locations, and shot the spot in a bright, well-lit space, which was unlike anything they’d ever done. The response from the Boar’s Head corporate team was amazing, and years later we’re still producing spots for them. Boar’s Head Video Production & Photography For many years, Hype has produced hundreds of productions in multiple states throughout the country for Boar’s Head. Here is a look at a few of the assets from our past productions. American Heart Association Branding & Video Production We’ve worked with the American Heart Association on both a regional (Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama) and national level. We’ve created video campaigns that stem across multiple platforms and with varying creative direction - PSA’s, survivor stories, and brand stories.

COMMUNICATIONS INTRODUCTION A truly powerful brand thrives on a 360-degree approach. From generating awareness and interest, to engaging in meaningful conversation with your target audiences, we position your brand for success. When a potential consumer discovers a brand, we make sure their first impression is the right one. What Social Media Is. Social Media Management/Marketing (SMM) is focused on creating content that can attract attention and encourage readers to share or mention it in their social media networks. It is the process of gaining attention and awareness through social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. Social media is about connecting, building relationships and getting traffic from these social media networks. The social media audience and intent - you know a lot about who these people are, but very little about what they are thinking. They’re clicking around. They’re browsing. They’re cruising through a social network and they discovered you. They have unpredictable intent, but they are more likely to share and spread brand awareness. Social media fans and followers often influence genuine potential buyers and serve as brand advocates. What Social Media Is Not. Social Media is not Search Engine Optimization. SEO utilizes a set of methods and techniques to promote web traffic. It primarily works on search engines, helping your website to get more visibility and improving your chances to be found. It will improve your site’s ability to appear in the first pages of an organic search result. SEO focuses on building links, being discovered and getting traffic through search engine rankings. The search optimization audience and intent - you know a lot about what they are thinking, but very little about who they are. They just searched. They’re looking for something. That’s why visitors from search are more likely to be ready to buy, but less likely to share and/or engage with your brand. These visitors enter with a specific purpose, need or question. They often have a strong personal intent, but will likely not contribute to brand awareness or become a brand advocate. social media opportunities Full Service This service is best-suited for brands in need of a full-service social media management team.

  • Don't Believe the Hype! De-Mystifying Digital Marketing
    starting made simple Don’t Believe the Hype! De-Mystifying Digital Marketing A Primer on What to Know & Where to Start Mainstream media gives you the impression that we’ve entered this miraculous age in marketing; that your world will go instantly “viral;” that business outcomes will come more quickly, efficiently, and easily; that the adoption of new digital marketing practices will automatically lead to a larger bottom-line, with less effort, and less human interaction. In simple truth, most of these statements are based in fallacy. Beyond the pioneering adopters who “got in early,” thereby leveraging a brief window of novel innovation, the vast majority of businesses will find that efforts to establish a unique voice, intercept potential buyers, generate qualified leads, acquire customers, and service clients will be just as costly and complex as before this age of digital marketing - even more so. As more brands flock to better digital practices, industry competition will dilute outcomes while increasing or shifting marketing spend. Don’t Believe the Hype! - Know Thyself. Know Thy Customer. Choose Accordingly. What’s most important is to understand that there is a wealth of new digital and mobile marketing channels that allows for a natural evolution in the way you can engage your audience. So set aside all the hype. Do a bit of homework. Learn about some of the vehicles, technologies and data-metric tools that really could enhance your marketing insights. Verify where your audience now resides. Recognize where you may need to refocus your branding efforts. Then start to experiment in a gradual, measured fashion.

  • Essays on Technology-Driven Marketing
    ESSAYS ON TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN MARKETING Zijun (June) Shi Submitted to the Tepper School of Business in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dissertation Committee Kannan Srinivasan (Chair) Hui Li Xiao Liu Alan Montgomery Kaifu Zhang April, 2019 I © Coypyright by Zijun (June) Shi, 2019 All rights reserved. II Abstract: With the development of technology in business applications, new marketing problems emerge, creating challenges for both practitioners and researchers. In this dissertation, I investigate marketing issues that involve new technology or require research methodologies enabled by new technology. I take an interdisciplinary approach, combining structural modeling, analytical modeling, machine learning, and causal inference, to study problems on pricing, media hype, and branding in three essays. In the first essay, we examine the optimality of the freemium pricing strategy. Despite its immense popularity, the freemium business model remains a complex strategy to master and often a topic of heated debate. Adopting a generalized version of the screening framework à la Mussa and Rosen (1978), we ask when and why a firm should endogenously offer a zero price on its low-end product when users' product usages generate network externalities on each other. Our analysis indicates freemium can only emerge if the high- and low-end products provide asymmetric marginal network effects. In other words, the firm would set a zero price for its low- end product only if the high-end product provided larger utility gain from an expansion of the firm's user base. In contrast to conventional beliefs, a firm pursuing the freemium strategy might increase the baseline quality on its low-end product above the “efficient” level, which seemingly reduces differentiation.

That’s why we’ve again pulled together the important data and trends to serve as a guide to marketing in this space. This, our second annual Digital Fact Pack, is full of fascinating numbers.
