About Ignite

Advertising and public relations can be effective tools when used properly, but they are, by definition, one-way communications. Social media, on the other hand, is defined by the ability of both sides to talk. When used properly, it enables companies to engage in a conversation with their customers in a meaningful, manageable way. But too few do. We help to navigate this emerging, evolving space, whether you’re looking to put your toe in the water, or dive in headfirst.

Ignite Social Media is a new breed of company that specializes in helping corporations use social media tools, sites and applications to connect with customers and prospects. What brought us together was a fundamental belief that social media, while maturing nicely for individual use, is in its infancy for corporate use and brand building. Millions of dollars spent on marketing; just pennies spent really communicating.

The video below explains more about why we formed Ignite in the first place.

If you want to package the message up tightly, neatly, and with six coats of polish in the hope that your customers will continue to swallow it whole, then we’re not the right folks for you. If, however, you’re ready to talk, really talk with your customers, we’ll help you find the right way to do it. Fun ways, strategic ways, operational ways…ways that improve the value of your brand, to empower brand evangelists, and help your company continue to grow.
