Fruition Interactive partners with University of Waterloo Stratford

Today I’m thrilled and honoured to announce a new partnership between Fruition Interactive and the University of Waterloo Stratford Campus.

Growing out of our successful work with University of Waterloo Stratford Campus on the CommerceLab project last year, the partnership gives Fruition early access to  bleeding edge digital media research, the opportunity to be inspired by brilliant young student minds, and the opportunity to sit among the founders and senior managers of some of this country’s most innovative and accomplished companies on the University of Waterloo Stratford Campus Advisory Board.

ThinDesk boosts lead generation 400% with inbound marketing and AdWords

Toronto-based cloud computing company ThinDesk had a superior product but they weren’t reaching enough people with their message and their Web site wasn’t turning visitors into customers. Fruition Interactive revamped their online content marketing strategy and Web site design to turn their site into a lead generation machine  and then drove traffic to it with SEO services and Google AdWords PPC advertising.

CommerceLab.ca Sees 630% Increase in Unique Visitors with Inbound Marketing and Fruition Interactive

When the University of Waterloo Stratford Campus wanted a online publishing platform to share academic research with Canadian Business; they chose Fruition Interactive as their digital agency partner. The result was CommerceLab.ca. From initial concept to post-launch Inbound Marketing activities, Fruition Interactive was there every step of the way.

Do you know what your site visitors see when they come to your site?

Unless you’re a marketer with a Fortune 500 company with an Internet marketing research budget of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for user experience research, chances are the answer is “no.”

Without a huge budget for research, small and mid-sized businesses used to have to rely largely on educated guesswork and, potentially, months’ worth of A/B testing in the real world to optimize their Web site’s ability to generate leads.

But now Fruition can help you start to optimize your site pages, with evidence-based research, before your site has even launched. And at a price – this is the game-changing part – that small and mid-sized businesses can afford.

Here’s the deal.

It’s my great pleasure to announce that Fruition Interactive’s Mitch Fanning will be presenting at this year’s Mesh Conference.

I don’t want to spoil the surprise (and, frankly, we’re still working out the details) but I can say that he’ll be talking about marketing strategies that work in the on-demand world. Now that potential buyers have more control than ever about what messages they consume when, sellers — agencies and their clients — have to think differently about how to reach them. Mitch will be sharing his insights about how to do that (hint: it’s about the content).
