Strategic Brand Planning & Management
At Mandala we’re brand-centric in our approach to partnering with our clients to implement marketing that delivers business results. Whether a strategic or tactical engagement, we bring a strategic brand planning approach that reinforces your positioning while achieving measurable business results.
Social Media – facebook, flickr, LinkedIn, Pinterest, tumblr, twitter, Vimeo, YouTube
Social media has changed the way we market. Social media has completely redefined how consumers engage with a brand. Now it matters less what a brand says about itself; what matters is what people say about a brand. Companies that do not cultivate a transparent, authentic conversation with their customers will perish. There’s no room for smoke and mirrors in today’s socially networked world.
As agency of record for social media powerhouse Buddy Media we have gained a deep understanding of the transformative force of social media. We understand how to integrate social media with a brand’s traditional website in a manner that is engaging and delivers business results.
Digital Design – websites + mobile
Creating an interactive and compelling online world is paramount to a successful sales strategy, and a brand’s website is often the genesis of a consumer’s journey into this world. Mandala specializes in creating engaging and immersive online experiences. We are a strong advocate of responsive design that adapts a brand’s online presentation to meet the device your customers are using to access your website. From desktop to slate to smart phone, we create website experiences that adapt and optimize your content for all devices seamlessly.
When appropriate we’re also adept at crafting mobile applications that meet the needs of our clients. Our most recent work for the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association features the launch of an iPhone and iPad application that allows pilots to plan and execute their flight plans with 3D synthetic vision, highway in the sky display, auto-routing, fuel prices, geo referenced airport diagrams. FlyQ is a perfect example of our ability to create feature rich, elegant and functional mobile applications for the most demanding operating environments.
