A SHARED PASSION FOR GIVING BACK

A SHARED PASSION FOR GIVING BACK

Building a quality company starts by building a quality culture. That means creating a culture that allows team members to be proud of the work they do and feel they are making a difference. So, when the opportunity presented itself to build a new website and help increase donations for an inspirational non-profit called the Merrell Noden Track Club, the BrandMinded Team jumped at the opportunity.

A talented and elite runner, Merrell was an even better person. So, when he passed away from cancer in the Spring of 2015, friends and family were inspired to do something to keep his memory and wonderful positive spirit alive. The result is the Merrell Noden Track Club, a non-profit that provides high level coaching for high school runners whose high schools do not provide winter track.

To date, the MNTC and taught hundreds of high school runners, male and female, to embrace the love of running and sportsmanship that Merrell embraced every day. It has also helped dozens of high school runners to attend top universities where they have continued their running careers.

Most importantly, as he did his entire life, the MNTC allows Merrell to keep bringing people together and forming lifelong friendship. We encourage to visit MNTC.run, learn more about Merrell and please donate whatever you can.

Christine’s Hope for Kids:

Christine’s Hope for Kids was founded in 2010 in honor of Christine Gianacaci, a 22-year-old passionate about helping children in need. During a mission trip to Haiti, Christine lost her life when a catastrophic earthquake hit, but her pursuit of spreading hope to children lived on. Christine’s Hope for Kids continues to serve local community agencies to benefit children in need, believing that even the smallest acts can greatly impact a child’s life.

“When the traffic is gone and the city lights up at night, Bayshore is the best place to be. A walk or jog by the water under the light of the full moon is always good for the soul.”

~Ren Scott

“Who wouldn’t love a cityscape off the water?! Downtown is my favorite spot in the 813 as it offers luxury living, diverse cuisine, is home to our beloved BOLTS, has amazing views of the Hillsborough river, and offers fun, free fitness classes such as Zumba in the Park every Tuesday evening at Curtis Hixon Park!”

~Meagan Floco

Downtown Tampa

“Bern’s Park is where it’s at! It’s a quiet place to read any time of day with the perks of South Howard restaurants and Bayshore Boulevard right around the corner.”

~Seth Sullivan

“My favorite place in Tampa is Ybor City. I like walking around all the little shops, good restaurants and bars, the saturday market, and of course, seeing the chickens. Ybor is also a great place to play Ingress!”

ForHearts Worldwide is on a mission to save lives around the world by providing implantable cardiovascular devices for people in developing countries. How do they do it? With a strong digital marketing agency on their side! BrandMinded® first began working with ForHearts Worldwide (a DBA of Heartbeat International Foundation) in 2019. ForHearts Worldwide was the charity beneficiary of Tampa’s largest electronic music celebration – the annual Sunset Music Festival at Raymond James Stadium.

As a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing lifesaving care to those in need, raising awareness of ForHearts’ mission is crucial to their success. So, when the time came to promote attendance at the Sunset Music Festival in support of ForHearts, the BrandMinded® team knew just what to do. One of the most successful strategies that the creative minds here at BrandMinded® came up with was to host a “Festival Ticket Giveaway,” enticing viewers to provide us with their information for a chance to attend the festival. Through a Facebook Ad Campaign, we were able to direct our target audience to a customized landing page, where we captured essential information such as name, email and phone number and in return, the participants were entered to win free tickets – a win-win for everyone.

The designated landing page we created on the ForHearts’ website was an essential step in our “Festival Ticket Giveaway” success while also helping boost our website traffic. In addition, the Facebook ads for this ticket giveaway helped our client reach a new demographic within our geographical target audience – right here in Tampa Bay, Florida. We then reached out to the participants to keep them up-to-date on all things ForHearts and help them learn more about the ForHearts mission!

LeadMinded Listings Stats

Did you know that over 43% of businesses in the US have at least one incorrect or missing address in major directories across the internet?

Having an incorrect listing online is going to cost you sales at some point if someone finds you on these services and is not able to contact you. They will just move on to the next closest listing and contact them. Even worse, imagine a prospective customer tries to drive to your business and ends up at the wrong location. This is a nightmare scenario for customer experience and in a world where reviews and online reputation mean so much, this will also hurt your business.

BrandMinded offers a listings / directories / and citation management solution that will automatically protect the way your critical business information is displayed on the internet. Our service connects with over 75 of the leading Maps, Apps, Search Engines, and social networks via direct database integration. This means that if you have to make a change, the change goes through instantly.

Previously when updating citations across the web, it was a manual process of contacting each site individually and jumping through many unnecessary hoops before finally getting the information updated.

Now with our citation management technology, we can handle updates to all of these sites with just the click of a button – in real-time!

This will help build your brand awareness, manage your online presence, improve your local search rankings, and drive more traffic both online and offline!
