To Mobile App Or Not To Mobile App, That Is The Question.

The team at Moxie recently met a client who knew they wanted a mobile app. “No doubt in our mind, a mobile app is the best way to reach our target audience of individuals 18-35.”
But is it? If you have the “build it and they will come mentality,” the app will most likely fail (similar to when building a website). The marketing strategy behind the app is just as important as how the app will work, along with what unique selling point it offers.
While a well-done app can engage the audience, competition is fierce for a place on an individual’s smartphone. Before going down the path of creating an app, consider the following:
A Pinteresting Brand Strategy

Pinterest: it’s the latest social media trend populated primarily by women in their 20s, 30s and 40s – it’s described as addicting – and the numbers prove this new social media platform is growing by leaps and bounds. According to Mashable, 70 percent of pinners are female, and are highly engaged, with stats reporting 3.3 million users logging more than 421 million page views. Just ask any 20-40-something female…if you can get her to stop pinning.
Best and Worst Super Bowl Commercials of 2012

What commercial worked best?
This year, the Super Bowl ads went to the dogs (Doritos, VW, Sketchers and Budweiser all used dogs in their Super Bowl ads) and celebrities. We thought several of the ads were effective, including:
1) VW, Back and Better than Ever: This spot was a great way to launch a new redesigned vehicle to VW’s line up. VW is trying to make the connection that a car can change your life.
2) Budweiser, “Meet We Go:” Of Budweiser’s six Super Bowl commercials, we liked We Go/Rescue Dog the best. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks – or switch to Budweiser beer?
3) Clint Eastwood’s Chrysler commercial. Very moving – Stand out.
4) KIA Dream Car: Kia captured the essence of the male target audience through sexy women, rock and roll, and cars – everything a man in their late 20s and early 30s wants in their life.
5) Doritos: The Doritos-bribing Great Dane was memorable, funny and provided laughs.
Happy 4th Moxie!

Why the new look?
In 2008, Moxie was born to fill a need in the marketplace. Four years later, Moxie has evolved, not only in the range of the products and services we offer, but also the personalities that make Moxie what it is today. Therefore, we decided to tweak the logo a bit to reflect everything that Moxie is and will continue to be in the future – forward-thinking, team-spirited, honest, connected and authentic.
