Meet Scott Gendelman July 23, 2009
Posted by Mark Blei in : Staff posts, cute animals , trackbackRecently we began a new feature where we introduce you to a few new staff members at Dynamic Logic every week . Here they will discuss their specialties, new challenges they may have faced and how the challenges were overcome, interesting projects they have worked on and new things that they have learned.
We hope that it will serve as a vehicle to allow you to get to know us better and through this to have a better understanding of our capabilities and the types of unique challenges we meet head on every day.
My name is Scott Gendelman and I’m a Regional Sales Manager in Dynamic Logic’s Chicago office (covering the Central US region). I’ve been with Dynamic Logic for 1 year, and enjoy helping clients understand how their marketing impacts brand metrics such as purchase/take-action intent, brand awareness & favorability, message association, and ad awareness/recall. I come from the school of listening to a client’s needs/challenges, and then matching up the right solution(s) that make sense both strategically and economically.
One of the more sticky topics I’ve come across lately is interest in maximizing the impact creative communication components have on achieving campaign goals. Going thru typical behind-the-scenes motions around the creative process of listen/brainstorm/concept/sketch/develop/deploy, there’s a critical component that is often overlooked. Some may call it a component, but I like to think of it as a real person – the target consumer!
Not Scott Gendelman
Marketers often think their chosen creative will dazzle the audience and ultimately sound the cash registers to ring so much they fall off the counter! Setting egos and hopeful ad awards aside, this strategy often will detract from achieving campaign goals which ultimately results in the failure of a campaign impacting the brand in an optimal manner. What really should (and needs) to happen, is to allow the real experts and decision-makers decide and tell us which creative ideas dazzled and which frazzled. So who are these people? They are your specific target demographic….the consumers you’re ultimately trying to reach and impact.
With that in mind, Dynamic Logic has a unique ad-copy/communication testing solution LinkSelect For Digital that provides deep analysis & insights into which creative executions will impact key brand metrics BEFORE a campaign goes live. This approach allows a client the ability to further optimize the creative prior to launch which ensures the creative with the most legs goes to market. It’s a unique and relevant way to ensure maximum return on marketing investment (ROMI).
We’ve even done some internal validation research that has uncovered how impactful ad-copy testing is on live, in-market campaign results. Ultimately, the more you optimize creative prior to launch, the greater the chance your campaign will illicit positive results as it pertains to impacting key brand metrics. You can find more information around LinkSelect For Digital here: http://www.dynamiclogic.com/na/products/DigitalLink/
Outside of working at Dynamic Logic, I fully enjoy spending time with family, friends, my dog Roxy ( pictured above), skiing (really fast!), playing ice hockey, travelling, dining out, collecting music, and music production (electronic music).
