Here’s a list of things that may go through your mind at some point (we’ve certainly come across them before!) If you have any additional questions that come up, contact the Millennial Associates team to have a free consultation or use the form at the contact us page.

What do you mean when you say “comprehensive outreach campaign?”
We simply mean that we believe that there is no one tool that will solve all of your marketing or outreach challenges; that marketing techniques should be comprehensive. By outreach, we mean that we simply don’t want to market to audiences, we want to actively reach out to them and develop relationships. Our belief is that in today’s world where the Internet continually empowers individuals to choose their media more and more, greater effort to develop and maintain relationships on part of companies and organizations is more essential now than ever.

TV ads, print materials, the yellow pages, websites, and social media are all tools in part of a larger picture. We know it is foolish to believe that just one way will be 100% effective and strive to find the best possible combination of tools to address individual challenges. That is why we leverage the best qualities of each tool for each client, using the strongest methods possible in combination to create captivating campaigns that engage audiences to perform desired tasks.

In what industries does Millennial Associates specialize?
We focus on the nonprofit, education, government, and political campaign industries. We believe that effectiveness is what matters, not size of the client. Every organization or agency should have quality communication, outreach and promotion services and we try to deliver that vision.

Why should I use Millennial Associates to design my website?
The web staff at Millennial Associates uses both emerging effective strategies and tested best practices to develop websites for its clients. In addition, we don’t simply just create static websites – we create websites that have the ability to be utilized in a larger outreach and marketing picture, drawing from the potential of your other marketing efforts such as television ads, print materials and social media.

Content on website should be fresh and engaging to ensure that visitors return. Millennial Associates provides its clients with dynamic websites that can be updated through a variety of means with fresh content and incentives to view, including the ability for clients to update their pages without knowing any web code! You can view our website design page for more information.

Why should I use Millennial Associates to develop a marketing or outreach plan for my organization or agency?
We look at the whole picture when developing our outreach plans for clients. This includes website utilization, social media, search advertising, display advertising, print, multimedia, and word-of-mouth potential. We extensively research our clients’ visitor and audience base, identify responsive components that could be chiefly responsible for success, and develop creative campaigns around the audience needs and interests.

We specialize in using all tools available today, especially those now found on the Internet. Social media, website utilization and email marketing are recently developed methods that are finding incredible success in a world where the face of communications is rapidly changing. We closely follow trends and emerging technologies, striving to be first in areas so that our clients are successful and not left in the dark. We determine where your audience is so that your marketing efforts and resources are used in the most efficient manner.

How is Millennial Associates different than other marketing/advertising/design agencies?
We’re different because we specialize in emerging technologies and internet outreach and leveraging those methods with traditional marketing techniques. We know that strength in outreach and marketing methods today comes from applying the multiple tools available and deploying them to your advantage. We differ because we don’t believe that one method is a “cure-all” for organizational or agency marketing and outreach challenges. The Internet is powerful, indeed, but it alone will not reach outreach goals.

At Millennial Associates, our staff is regularly conducting research and continuing education in areas of new marketing methods, emerging technologies and best practices. In fact, we stress development so much that we require our staff to devote a certain percentage of their work time to continuing education and research. We want our clients to have every possible tool available for their projects, and that only comes with continued research and development.

In addition, we take each client individually. That means that while countless other applications of tools that have been tried previously may exist, we don’t immediately assign tools to solve clients’ challenges. We believe in custom-developing marketing and web strategies for clients, especially today when template, one-size-fits-all designs are very ineffective. Clients experience a tailored, professional image for your organization or company by working with Millennial Associates and aren’t likely to be seen as anyone’s copycat.

I’m located outside of Oregon. Can I still work with Millennial Associates?
Yes! We’d love to work with you on your project. The beauty of the Internet is that it connects us at a moment’s notice and gives us the ability to collaborate on projects from a distance. Our services don’t require us to sit down regularly to produce results. Everything we develop can be done over the phone and over the Internet.

What kinds of research and continuing education do Millennial Associates staff members perform?
We focus on developing and publishing regular research in areas that involve emerging technologies and new largely untested methods. All of our researchers that publish come from strong academic backgrounds, try to find measurable data, avoid generalizations, and look for every possible explanation to circumstances. Some of the topic areas we research on include the following:

  • Social media tools, requirements of those tools, best practices as experienced by multiple sources
  • Finding successful trends in messaging on the social web and the Internet
  • Identifying and analyzing the implementation of functions of communications tools for multi-industry use
  • Return-on-investment (ROI) strategies for new media
  • The concept of viral marketing and enhanced word-of-mouth
  • Website strategies and internet marketing
  • Email marketing and search engine optimization
  • Community development and integrating community principles into marketing efforts
  • Calculation of social marketing potential (SMP) and how messages resonate among online communities
  • Effective website design models and practices

Each staff member at Millennial Associates conducts regular continuing education in the areas in which they focus. We wish to develop the strongest staff for our clients. We want to be our best so you can be your best!

What are the payment terms?
Our payment terms are negotiated after our consultation and preliminary research at contract signing, determining whether a fixed contract price or monthly contract is appropriate. For fixed contracts, we generally require 50% to be paid as an initial payment and the remaining 50%  to be paid at the project’s completion. For projects that are on monthly terms, we require an initial payment and monthly deposit from which is deducted an hourly rate.

What is the average cost of services?
We strive to keep costs low enough for our clients so that they can have quality creative services available without breaking the bank. Generally, our comprehensive outreach campaign plans begin at $1200 for a simple plan and are usually negotiated as a monthly contract instead of fixed price (including research and discovery). Management of COCs require additional fees. Custom website development starts at $1000. However, we don’t like to use average costs for our services as each service is custom developed and our fees are determined by the amount of resources required, budget amount and individual client need. We try to work around existing challenges to ensure that our clients can work with us.
