Businesses have lots of options when it comes to reaching their audiences, including sponsoring events and airing commercials on the radio. In the digital age, one of the most common ways businesses do this is by placing ads online. From banner ads to pop-ups, the options that exist for advertising within the Internet are vast and ever-changing.  

As a media company serving Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor and surrounding Pierce County, SouthSoundTalk has a unique lens into this hyperlocal market. Once a piece of content is published to SouthSoundTalk’s website, our team collects data based on gender, age, location and other insights so that we can identify which stories matter most to certain demographics.

While this information helps SouthSoundTalk craft its content to better serve our readers, it also helps us tailor individualized advertising plans for our customers.

For instance, if a customer wants their logo to reach families living in Lynden, we can place their logo on articles about family-friendly venues such as local parks and playgrounds or events taking place in the area.

Knowing who our readers are allows SouthSoundTalk to better guide its customers’ marketing decisions by providing personalized advertising options so that they can reach a specific audience.

Using insights in this way is good for both our customers and our readers. Our customers gain value in the benefits of targeted marketing, while our readers enjoy perusing content without the distraction of oddly placed ads.

This unique form of marketing is a direct result of the close relationship that exists between SouthSoundTalk’s sales and publishing teams. While most media companies’ sales and publishing teams work independently of one another, SouthSoundTalk staffers work closely together, ensuring that customer logo placements are matched with the pieces of content that best reach their target audiences.

In addition to using insights and analytics to help local businesses reach their target audiences, SouthSoundTalk also offers content marketing options.
