Bonus – Uli on his work with Mastercard

We asked Uli about amp’s work on the Mastercard sonic branding that won gold at The Transform Awards Europe in 2021, and this is what he shared:

“We built a sharable sonic brand book and created a complete ecosystem for Mastercard that was implemented globally into every market. This made the brand culturally adaptive and encouraged the respective country’s marketing teams to create their assets built on the Mastercard Sonic DNA.

The long-term perspective of this investment into sonic brand strategy is to build long-lasting sonic brand capital, resulting in three main advantages for Mastercard:”

  1. More creativity and choice: Licensing sonic pop culture becomes a choice when it supports the authentic narrative of a major campaign. Yet owning a sharable sonic DNA puts the brand into a position of becoming a co-creator of sonic assets, which is considered of high value in moving towards authentic consumer engagement.
  2. IP ownership: Every new sonic asset, that is created as a derivate of the Mastercard – sonic DNA is owned by the brand in perpetuity, creating unparalleled ROI for the brand.
  3. Flexibility to remain relevant: Mastercard is constantly adding new sonic assets that are all based on the Mastercard-owned sonic DNA. This keeps assets current and in the zeitgeist.

“It completely changes the dynamic from standing next to the cool kid, you’re becoming the cool kid,” Uli said.

What is a Local Citation? Local SEO

In simple SEO terms, a local citation refers to any mention of your company online. This could be in a business directory, or on an industry-specific site, a blog or any other local website. Although local citations can help you rank in local search results, they are no longer a major ranking factor . However, they are still worth considering in order to promote your business. Common citations you are likely to already know of include listings on business directory websites such as Yell or Thomson Local . A complete citation should include the name, address and phone number of your business. Local citations do not always include a link to your site although they are more valuable if they do. What do they do? Citations help rank your Google Local Pack listing (this was formerly called Google+ Local map) by providing Google with credible sources of information about your business. Citations tell Google that your business exists, is legitimate and that what you say about it is accur...

The beginner’s guide to semantic search: Examples and tools

Ever since Google’s Hummingbird, the term “semantic search” has been thrown around a lot. Yet, the concept is often misunderstood. What is semantic search and how it helps SEO efforts? When people speak to each other, they understand more than just words. They understand the context, non-verbal cues  (facial expressions, nuances of the voice, etc.) and so much more. It comes naturally, so we don’t really appreciate how difficult it is to explain what is being communicated without the help of all “beyond-words” signals. Factors that make the lives of both Google and SEO so difficult Google is trying (and often struggling) to understand what it is that their users want (without actually seeing or hearing them) SEOs are trying to reverse-engineer what it is that Google managed to understand from their users’ queries and how to build pages that meet those mysterious criteria. As Google’s algorithm is getting more mature, it is becoming even more difficult to decode what...

How to turn your customer feedback into a driving force for your product

30-second summary: Customer reviews are a powerful tool that helps businesses understand what they are doing right and where there’s room for improvement. To efficiently collect client reviews, use multiple channels to encourage users to share their feedback both internally and on third-party platforms. Negative customer feedback is especially precious as, if handled properly, it helps businesses grow and offer better service. Social media can help you build a positive brand image, you just need to engage with people mentioning your brand and start building relationships with influential figures in your field. Businesses tend to think that it’s better to get no reviews than to get bad ones. We at SE Ranking, have an opposing view – for us, customer feedback is always a blessing, be it positive or negative. We have developed a system of collecting, processing, and responding to user reviews that is beneficial both for us and our customers. Over the years, we’ve built an engage...
