STRATEGY
An exceptional level of digital intelligence shows up for our clients as improved effectiveness and
overall achievement. The assessment of business goals, challenges, research, and current brand value,
juxtaposed with digital insight and best practices is our composition for creating sound and innovative
strategies.
With experience in brand, product, social, commerce, media and a range of other objectives, our
consultants successfully and consistently maximize opportunity with new perspectives, and high
performing recommendations within the digital and interactive space.
CREATIVE
Steering clear of “assembly line design” we take an individualized approach to each project with
the understanding that each and every client engagement is a unique opportunity to pursue newer,
creative, cutting-edge design and development solutions. It is not only with passion, excitement and a
standard of perfection that our designers approach each project, but with the attitude and confidence
required to reach new levels in online marketing and design.
TECHNOLOGY
At the core of our deployments are the sophisticated backend technologies crafted by our
constantly forward thinking development team. From micro-sites, to rich internet applications to
critical information systems, we build powerful and intuitive tools and software. Our developers,
programmers, and designers possess expert level proficiencies in a broad range of client side and
server side languages and platforms. With detailed attention dedicated to information architecture,
specification, responsiveness, versatility, and scalability, along with a rigorous QA process, our
technological solutions enable better efficiency, improved results, and an overall enhanced user
experience – no matter the purpose.

6. key strengths
SOCIAL MEDIA
Social media is media designed to be interpreted through social interaction, created using highly
accessible and scalable web techniques. Social media uses Internet and web-based technologies to
transform broadcast media into social media dialogues. We support the democratization of knowledge
and information, transforming people from content consumers into content producers.
Arc Media Group has the expertise to help guide you through the “Attention Age” – we can deliver:
Lifestyle concepts, slogans, and statements with a high memory retention, that excite others to repeat.
Digital media with ‘sharing’, syndication, or search algorithm technologies (includes internet and mobile
devices) designed to be re-distributed.
ANALYTICS
A critical component of our approach is found in our ability to measure the performance of a campaign,
understand the data we retrieve, and adjust quickly, when needed, to the implications. Through metrics
and analytics, we pave a two-way street of communication, knowing how consumers are responding to
online media with regard to value, intent, consideration, interaction, and satisfaction.
Most companies today understand the importance of online metrics. However, the successful
integration of an analytics model and the maximization of results are rarely achieved. At ARC Media
Group, our approach goes far beyond the collection of data and documenting web stats or click-thru
rates. Knowing what to measure, and what it means, we formulate clear methods of understanding
engagement based on project goals, while identifying key opportunities and threats throughout the
process. The end result is increased qualified conversions for your bottom line – whatever that may be.
SEARCH MARKETING
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is the process of increasing the volume of targeted search visitors to
your website by placement in search engine results - organic or paid. SEM is currently one of the most
cost-effective forms of marketing in business. That being said, search engine optimization is constantly
changing. Our expert programmers and consultants develop custom web applications and integrate
thorough search tactics that produce top search engine rankings in the light of an evolving system of
relevance. It is scientifically as well as artistically that we address Information Architecture, Metadata,
Content Assembly, Paid Search Efforts, Link Building, and Keyword Selection to create high and relevant
rankings, ultimately increasing conversion rates and ROI.
