Breathe’s 10th BIRTHDAY!!

Back in the day when we set up Breathe Creative – ten years ago this week – Facebook was a year away from launch, tablets were something we swallowed when we were sick, and we all thought that ‘tweeting’ was strictly for the birds. It was a very different world.

Today, we tall ake technology for granted; we use our social media on a daily basis, and we understand the importance of search engine optimisation (SEO) for attracting visitors to our website. In this predominantly digital age, very few of us now use film in our cameras; we read books, listen to music and watch TV on our iPads and tablets; we conduct meetings and make presentations all online.

Millions of websites fight for your attention

Ours is a society in which millions of websites and personal brands are clamouring for attention; 72 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute; suddenly, everybody’s an instant expert, posting reviews of the book that we’ve just read or restraunts where we’ve eaten.

It’s a fast moving, very complex world, even for the most experienced marketing professionals. One of the current hot topics is content marketing – the creation of content and supply of relevant and valuable information to attract, acquire and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience.

And yet, how much has really changed? I’ll let you into a little secret.

Effective content marketing is what successful creative agencies like Breathe have always offered: we supply the creative concepts, the compelling copy and the audience insight that translate the marketer’s vision into profitable customer action. It’s just that today we’re not restricted to print or video; we’ve added numerous digital media to our armoury.

So, thanks for being with us for our first ten years, and here’s to the next ten – however, we’re
going to be communicating.
