If you live in or around Baltimore, you can’t help but see the large signs in front of dozens of organizations announcing, “(They are) Associated. Are You?”

The signs are part of a multi-channel brand strategy and outreach campaign led by Marketing Director Melinda Greenberg and her 10-person team at The Associated: the Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore. The Associated is the central fundraising and planning organization for the Jewish community. It supports a system of local agencies — each with its own mission, needs and constituencies. THE ASSOCIATED’s marketing department provides an account executive for each internal department and agency in the system.

The combined impact of an economic freefall and a new marketing landscape left Melinda with the same challenges facing most of us: how to do more with less and still meet marketing goals. For The Associated, they are to increase donors and volunteers.

When the organization’s E-Communications Director left to take a job with another nonprofit, Melinda and her team added his responsibilities to their already full portfolios. To reach young adults, they integrated a variety of approaches to their marketing practices and the efforts appear to be paying off. Since adding a presence on Twitter and Facebook, Melinda says, THE ASSOCIATED has seen more young adults at their events.

To reach and engage the broader Jewish community, however, Melinda relies on a 360 degree marketing mix, including print, direct mail, email, and those ubiquitous signs with “The Associated” Brand.

For Melinda, “branding is the reason I joined the AMA — to learn new and better ways to brand.  For The Associated, that’s fundamental to our success.”

Many marketers are wondering how to measure their social media efforts. To answer the question, I caught up with Ryan Holmes, CEO of Hootsuite at South By Southwest Interactive 2010 to ask about social media measurement. I wanted to see how a company that is inherently social was measuring their own success, as a leading social media engagement platform, Hootsuite is certainly leading the pack.

With more and more businesses participating in social media, the pressure to be creative is getting intense.  Now every tweet needs to be interesting.  Every blog post, a ‘wow’.  And so everybody wants to know: Does Robroy have a process for that?

Hold on, let me check.  Why, yes, here’s something.  I call it the Madman, Craftsman, Critic process.  Catchy name, I know.  You can use Madman, Craftsman, Critic (or Madwoman, Craftswoman, Critic) to develop everything from business growth strategies to sales presentations to marketing content, tweets, blogs and more.  It also works for paintings and poems and love songs.  And Robroy posts.  Anything creative.  But only if you are willing to concede that you have three strong-willed personalities within you who all want to dominate the creative process, and it’s your job to keep them in line.  They are: Read the rest of this entry »
