Almost all successful businesses have a well-designed marketing strategy, high levels of brand
awareness and a loyal customer base. That said, the opportunity often exists to enhance their
digital brand presence and drive additional revenue with an integrated, data-driven, measurable
approach.
SPYCH is an expert in Insights and Intelligence, and digital marketing – a combined expertise
allowing us to execute data-driven strategies that grow brands, increase market share and
increase revenue. From enterprise-level brands (Del Monte Foods, HSN, American Cancer
Society and McDonalds) to local brands (Shula’s Steak House, Belo Mansion, Nicola’s Ristorante,
D TV’s The Weekend Insider), we have successfully consulted and executed digital strategies
yielding tangible and profitable results.
We take a comprehensive 3-module approach to the creation and execution of these initiatives:

Digital Brand Audits (DBA’s)

4.
Given our Insights and Intelligence foundation, we view these Benchmark DBA’s as the integral first
step to measurable success. The DBA’s provide a detailed snapshot of the brand’s digital presence,
both aesthetically and strategically. SPYCH conducts in-depth analysis of the primary owned/controlled
digital assets (e.g. Facebook), un-owned sites (e.g. YELP) and an analysis of the respective industry and
competitive set.
Once completed, these DBA’s are leveraged to make strategic changes to the flow of information, tweak
calls-to-action (CTA’s), optimize content strategies and successfully achieve the socialization of digital
content.
SPYCH’S APPROACH
D I G I T A L B R A N D A U D I T S ( D B A ’ S )
• What happened?
• Why?
• What are the opportunities?
Example: Facebook

5.
Our team also analyzes un-owned review sites and the open web for brand-relevant issues and/
or opportunities.
Example: YELP Reviews
Example: OpenTable Opportunities
Monitor YELP, ensuring you capitalize on this ‘Elite’
member that is a vocal brand advocate:
• Offer VIP treatment
• Highlight his posts
• Have him write social media content
Make a note in reservation
system based on this review
SPYCH’S APPROACH
• 230+ positive reviews on
Etsy, which highlights an
opportunity to promote
these on social media outlets
• The fact almost
all reviews are
positive will
have a large
impact on our
digital strategy

relationships and overall passion for what he does – connecting brands to consumers – led him to be honored
