Incite Creative and SmallBizMedia.TV Join Forces

Maria Fuster, President and Founder of SmallBizMedia.TV and her team of online marketing strategists, researchers and social media experts, have officially joined Dina Wasmer, President and Founder of Incite Creative, Inc.

Cockeysville, MD, November 03, 2012 – Incite Creative, Inc. and SmallBizMedia.TV are pleased to announce a merger, which officially took place on October 15, 2012.

After two years of successful collaboration, Maria Fuster, President and Co-Founder of SmallBizMedia.TV and her team of online marketing strategists, researchers and social media experts, have officially joined Dina Wasmer, President and Co-Founder of Incite Creative, Inc., a well-established marketing strategy and graphic design firm.

Maria now carries the title of Vice President and Director of Online Brand Building for Incite Creative, a role she accepted earlier this year.

“When Maria approached me on LinkedIn two years ago, I have to admit that I was skeptical only because it was not the first request for business collaboration and partnering that I’ve heard over the years,” says Dina Wasmer. “Having built Incite Creative from the ground up nearly 13 years ago, it’s my baby and I’m not going to let just anyone be part of the family. But after just a few conversations and successful project collaborations, I knew I’d found the perfect complement to Incite Creative. Maria and her team of online brand builders supplement my team’s emphasis on strategic brand positioning, and pair well with our core expertise in offline brand implementation. Perhaps even more importantly to me, Maria shares my work ethic, high standards, and desire to help our clients succeed.”

Maria Fuster states, “I’m thrilled to bring SmallBizMedia.TV and our clients under the Incite Creative name. I was initially drawn to the firm because of its strategic process and now Dina and I are like the ‘dynamic duo’ — bringing both offline and online brand building strategies and tools to the table to benefit our clients, both large and small.”

The merger will double Incite Creative’s team and enhance its ability to continue to serve well-established businesses and organizations, and open its doors to entrepreneurial businesses that need professional guidance on a small business budget.

Webinar Paydays: New Book “The Webinar Way” Describes 7 Pillars of Webinar Success

Webinars are a powerful tool for visual storytelling and training. But what’s the best way to generate sales using webinars? The new book, “The Webinar Way” guides presenters through the process of engaging audiences and seamlessly driving the selling process using webinars.

Cleveland, OH, October 27, 2012 (Straight Line PR) — Webinars are a powerful tool for visual storytelling and training. But for many, the path from webinar to profit is not clearly marked. Now, authors Jim Kukral and Sherrie Rose show the way, step by step, with their new book, “The Webinar Way”. Readers of this new book can quickly learn essential techniques to boost profits using the familiar, but often under-utilized, webinar platform.

“It’s time we separate fact from fiction, and myths from truth about webinars,” says Jim Kukral, leading Web entrepreneur, noted Keynote speaker and co-author of “The Webinar Way” ( http://www.TheWebinarWay.com ). “The real story here is that webinars have had a bad rap as a boring obligation forced by corporations; but now cutting-edge business entrepreneurs have found big paydays using webinars.”

As proof, Ms. Rose suggests that marketers of information products, speakers, and aspiring entrepreneurs consider these three areas when deciding how to boost their sales:

1. Has there been a decline in sales letter conversions? The webinar sales model combines teaching people valuable content and on the same webinar they are being taught they are sold on receiving coaching or additional products.

2. Even sought-after platform speakers can get tired of all the travel, and endless nights in hotels. Take this existing expertise to the webinar medium, leveraging time and accessing a global market to sell products or services.

3. Getting a big idea off the ground can be a struggle. Put together a free training webinar and the date-related motivation to get it done. The response to the actual webinar will indicate whether or not the idea is sound.

“I thought we already had a fine webinar presentation,” says recent client Brandon Barnum. “Your techniques are amazing, and illuminated powerful improvements for more sales conversions on our webinar.”

Renowned webinar trainers Jeff Herring and Maritza Parra recently spoke briefly on camera about “The Webinar Way”, and what this book can teach anyone who needs to improve their bottom line using webinars. The video can be seen online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQZSVerj7HA

“Our book, ‘The Webinar Way’, breaks down the 7 Pillars of Webinar Success (Perspective, Plan, Promote, Present, Power Position, Pitch, Partner) into an easy to follow process,” says Rose. “Our clients love the results they get with these strategies – implementing webinars with a selling component gives entrepreneurs a new lease on their business.”

The authors also provide a free Webinar Way Profit Calculator to help track and calculate sales. For a free copy of The Webinar Way Profit Calculator and other valuable bonuses (plus expert interviews), go to http://www.TheWebinarWay.com/webinarwaybonuses/ for immediate access.

About The Webinar Way:
“The Webinar Way” is the #1 Way to reach global audiences and the #1 most effective sales tool on the Internet today. The new book, “The Webinar Way”, is designed to help entrepreneurs, business owners and organizations reach their goals by understanding how to use the POWER of The Webinar Way, resulting in loyal customers, raving fans, and a dynamic, attractive personal “brand”.

Incite Creative Builds Brands for Two Innovators of the Year Recipients

The 2012 “Innovator of the Year” award winners were recently announced and include two of Incite Creative’s clients: 1sqbox™ and Healthplan Headquarters™.

Baltimore, MD, September 11, 2012 – Each year The Daily Record recognizes Maryland’s individuals and companies that have created a product, service or process that has had a positive effect on their business, industry or community. Incite Creative is honored that two of this year’s 20 award recipients benefited from the firm’s marketing and brand building services.

1sqbox is an intuitive management system that allows teachers, students, principals and parents to communicate in real time via its state-of-the-art tablet centric application. Everything that is needed for classroom management, student learning, administrative tools and parental monitoring is housed in one central application — its all-inclusive square box. Incite Creative capitalized on the name and product concept and created a logo and an innovative business development packaging system that reinforces the company’s desired brand message.

HealthPlan Headquarters is the first of its kind in Maryland, offering insurance in a retail location where consumers can walk in and shop for their insurance coverage. Created to help individuals and employers navigate the complex world of insurance, Healthplan Headquarters offers self-service kiosks and one-on-one consultations with experienced and knowledgeable insurance specialists, as well as health and wellness resources for the community. Incite Creative helped strategically position and brand the new entity by creating its name, tagline, logo, website and targeted sales kit materials.

“Starting a new company is always overwhelming, even for those of us who’ve been down that road before”, states Suzanne Thompson, president and founder of Healthplan Headquarters. “Determining how you want your business to be perceived and coming up with a brand identity that fits that desired perception is critical to its success. As a retail insurance company, the name “Healthplan Headquarters” and the innovative logo, marketing materials and website that Incite Creative developed for us has been huge in terms of creating brand awareness. After only two years in business, we now have three stores and have plans to open up additional stores throughout Maryland.”

The Innovator of the Year awards ceremony will take place on October 24, 2012 at the American Visionary Art Museum.

Incite Creative Named as Finalist for AMA Baltimore Marketing Excellence Award

The American Marketing Association (AMA), one of the world’s largest marketing associations, conducts an annual review of the best local marketing campaigns with demonstrable success.

Baltimore, MD, July 02, 2012 – The American Marketing Association (AMA), one of the world’s largest marketing associations, conducts an annual review of the best local marketing campaigns with demonstrable success. Incite Creative, a Baltimore-based marketing and graphic design firm that provides strategic and creative solutions to corporate and non-profit clients, was recently named by the AMA’s Baltimore chapter as a finalist for their Marketing Excellence Award.

The marketing association performed a review of Incite Creative’s work with The Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Foundation in support of the Baltimore Elementary/Middle School Library Project. This multi-million dollar, multi-year initiative works with local schools by designing, building, equipping, and staffing new or renovated school libraries to improve the reading proficiency in Baltimore’s elementary and middle schools. Incite Creative’s challenge was to create a marketing campaign to generate awareness and involvement from government officials, state agencies, heads of education, and the general public.

Before the project launched in December 2011, Incite conducted focus groups with age-appropriate children and their parents to help provide the strategy for the campaign. As a result of the feedback, Incite designed the Library Project’s multi-color logo that represents books and the urban landscape. Additional brand touch points, including print and electronic invitations, book marks, book plates, signage and support marketing materials were also created.

Among other utility, these pieces were used to generate publicity for the Book Drive, a community-wide effort to collect books during the state’s Read Across Maryland month in March. As of April, the Book Drive resulted in the collection of close to 10,000 books.

In addition to working with the Weinberg Foundation on this project, Incite Creative has a long history of successfully assisting non-profit organizations with brand development and creative services. Some other non-profits that Incite has worked with include:

Autism Society of America Baltimore/Chesapeake Chapter
By Their Side
Center for Medical Technology Policy
Moveable Feast

Tissue Banks International

“We enjoy building brands for a variety of industries, but we do hold a special place in our hearts for nonprofit organizations. In addition to feeling a sense of pride in helping them fulfill their mission, we also find that nonprofits are typically very receptive to our suggestions and grateful for our help. In an age where the workday never ends and client demands can be draining, a simple ‘thank you so much!’ or, ‘we could have never done this without you’ on the other end of the line is a welcome reminder that our work is valued and our skills are appreciated,” said Dina Wasmer, President of Incite Creative Inc.

The American Marketing Association will be holding their annual event at the American Visionary Art Museum on September 5th to announce the winners.

She Counts, Inc. Selects Dina Wasmer from Incite Creative to Be a Mentor

She Counts, Inc., a non-profit youth professional development organization fills the void by engaging young girls, grades 6 through 12

Baltimore, MD, February 24, 2012 – With the number of women-owned businesses on the rise and the lack of finance and business curriculum in our K-12 educational system, who’s inspiring and mentoring the next generation of female entrepreneurs? She Counts, Inc., a non-profit youth professional development organization fills the void by engaging young girls, grades 6 through 12, in their business training programs with the help of qualified local women leaders. They have selected Dina Wasmer, President and Founder of Incite Creative to participate as a mentor.

She Counts sets up monthly mastermind groups for young female entrepreneurs and mentors to develop new meaningful friendships, engage in healthy conversations, and enjoy other social activities. Additionally, the girls can participate in a six-week entrepreneur development program and a four-week summer camp to learn how to meet the challenges of planning, raising funds, marketing, and managing successful businesses. The program includes basic business vocabulary, marketing, networking, negotiation, sales, record keeping, problem solving, customer service, and ethics.

In an effort to align professionals that would be an ideal fit for their cause, She Counts reached out to Dina Wasmer. In addition to launching and helming Incite Creative for the past 12 years as a leading marketing and graphic design firm, some of Dina’s other career achievements include being named to The Daily Record’s VIPs Under 40 and Maryland’s Top 100 Women lists in 2010, as well as serving on the Board of Trustees for The Children’s Guild. This balance of business and socially involved leadership mirrors the qualities that She Counts teaches.

“As a business owner, I value the mission and tactical strategies She Counts has in place to teach young girls at an early age that their aspirations of entrepreneurship is within their reach,” says Dina. “As a teacher, I look forward to providing a guiding hand to my mentee and helping her find her own unique path. As a young girl myself (30-some odd years ago), I’ve been in her shoes, and am excited for her to see what’s possible when her shoes get a little bigger.”

She Counts Inc is now enrolling girls in the organization’s teen business training program, “She’s Got Her Own.” For more information about this program and to work with mentors like Dina Wasmer, go to the She Counts Inc website at: www.SheCounts.com or contact the organization by phone Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM EST at (410) 449-GIRL (4475).
