MediaWorks offers the support of a legal desk to assess the recovery chances and to receive expert consultation regarding the best legal strategies to adopt.
  • Legal Recovery
    The domain is recovered by means of a legal dispute. This service is provided by our legal partners at MediaWorks LTD.

Digital PR

Digital communications has matured past its infancy

From some years ago - when e-mail communications cemented its status as a key marketing tool and blog volume was barely above a murmur - to the current proliferation of social media sites and applications, Digital Public Relations has emerged to embrace social media, blogging and citizen journalism.
There are a growing number of companies and organisations that have harnessed the power of digital platforms in innovative ways.

MediaWorks uses digital, as well as human, visibility to monitor online noise and digital footprints of clients' key phrases, subjects and players, devise subsequent communications programmes and attract prospective customers to your organisation by deploying interactive, semi-automated news and high-value items across the Web through a variety of channels.
This is becoming known as Digital PR, or Digital Public Relations, and it takes into account search engine robots as much as human eyes. It requires traditional craft skills in marketing and public relations as well as total understanding of the potential of current technology.
MediaWorks PR encompasses a number of tools to leave a trail of digital footprints for journalists, opinion-formers, customers and search engines to find and engage with:

  • Blogs and blog management
  • Outreach to influential bloggers and news aggregators
  • Websites with rapidly-changing, relevant content and search engine optimisation
  • Social Media Marketing

Each programme starts with a Discovery and Scoping Phase to ensure that your Digital PR programme is a seamless part of your overall marcomms strategy, objectives set and met, budgets finalised and strategy and tactics planned.
At the same time a technical and functional specification would be drawn up for any digital tools or platforms appropriate to the programme, to ensure all stakeholder requirements are satisfied. An overall project plan for implementation is then finalised and a final fixed cost is provided.
A Production Phase ensures that any multimedia, widgets and applications are produced, blogs or email set-up and tested before a programme starts.
A Deployment Phase launches the programme which is designed with regular review meetings to answer the questions:

  • What am I getting for my Digital PR budget?
  • How can we measure the success of the programme and how will we adjust it based on the metrics?

Social Media Marketing (SMM)

Social Media Marketing (SMM) is first and foremost Internet-based, but it also has its origins and ties with non-Internet based methodologies, primarily word of mouth advertising.

At the core of social media marketing is the simple idea that by listening and having two way dialogue with customers, companies will understand more of what their customers' values and needs are.

If the terms blog and podcast make you think 'boring online diary' think again. Some 120,000 thought-provoking Blogs are written every day. Add that to podcasts, interactive e-newsletters and social websites and these are just some of the new and exciting communications included in the term Social Media Marketing. SMM refers to a collection of constantly updating media communication vehicles that create a dialogue among people who are talking about topics of shared interest.

Nevertheless, it is fundamental to understand that they are not only chatting, they're also collaborating, organising, making decisions and managing various efforts. Corporations need to become involved with Social Media Marketing because that's where the "watching eyes" are. Statistically, we can see that the volume of content online is shifting from staid static corporate content to informative, interactive social media.

Your customers are spending more and more of their time on-line using Facebook, watching companies videos on YouTube and interacting with their blogs. So, if you want people to see you, you need to be where they are.

Domains

Your name should match the image of your company

Choosing an appropriate name matching your firm's image is a similar process to choosing a name and image for your offline brand. Short names are usually more effective than long ones.

The most effective domain names have obviously been already registered, and, if they haven't been taken yet, they are usually too expensive compared to the business their relevant website might generate. In that case, the best thing to do is to "be creative without exaggerating".
Try to choose at least 10 (short) adjectives that well describe your business. Associate them to the name of the product or service that best represents you. Try to put these two elements together and see what you come up with!

Memorability

This element should be seriously taken into account, especially by small and medium businesses having limited marketing budgets at their disposal and not particularly popular and well known services (of course nobody has got any problems remembering names like Coca Cola or Pepsi).

Here are a few suggestions on what to avoid:

  • do not use acronyms or initials
  • do not use excessively long names (three words are harder to remember than two :-)
  • do not choose names that may be hard to spell
  • try to avoid numbers. They are very hard to remember and can be written in at least two ways (100per100.it 100percent.it hundredper100.it hundredpercent.it).

Legality

There are at least two legal aspects you should always keep in mind whenever registering a domain name. First of all, can you protect the domain you have chosen from illegal uses someone might make of it? Second of all, could a firm or company claim damages because of the domain name you are using? The difference between an offline and an online brand, is that every online brand is exposed to international visibility, therefore brand disputes have no geographical borders.

Extension

The extension can refer to the territory where your business is usually generated, or to the kind of website you have.
In the first case you can register a .spa, the Spanish geographic extension, or a .eu, the new European tld.
If you want to choose an extension that better reflects the nature of your website, you can choose for instance a .biz, the business extension, a .info, particularly recommended for gathering information on a special event, or a .name, for your personal site.
