Posted by Scott Danish on Aug 4, 2021 7:45:42 PM

At BayCreative, we approach branding with in-depth collaboration and support to help develop solutions that will fit our B2B client’s needs. We also complement this service with a variety of digital marketing tools and services. Our team has been in the business for over 23 years, and we have great passion and dedication to provide the best services that the industry has ever seen.

Clutch is an independent Washington DC-based B2B reviews platform that receives client feedback from former projects and uses that to build a ranking system in various fields for business needs. To provide our point, they recently honored BayCreative as one of the leading branding companies in San Francisco. With around 160,000 companies listed on their site, the BayCreative ranking is notable in that it places us within the Top 1% of their entire company list.

“We are thrilled to be selected by Clutch as one of the leading B2B branding and marketing agencies in San Francisco.” - Scott Danish, President & Co-Owner.

“Without the feedback from our clients, we would not be receiving this honor. We are extremely thankful for their generous comments, and are grateful that they were as satisfied with the experience as much as we appreciated working with them.” – Arne Hurty, Founder & Chief Creative Officer.

Below is one of the many verified reviews on our Clutch profile that outlines the client experience.

One of the biggest differences between the successful and not-so-successful technology companies of today is how they approach branding. Without proper branding, marketing plans, and strategies, businesses could be finding themselves in a place with a lack of growth and progress. Brand building is a strategy that looks to the long-term, with the ultimate purpose of gaining a sustainable competitive advantage. We want to make sure our clients stay on top of it all and find real outcomes and reach their goals with the aid of our marketing services.

Counter Two B2B Marketing Inhibitors Today... Advance Business Forever

Posted by Scott Danish on Mar 23, 2021 6:03:05 PM

To say the pandemic has made the last year challenging is an understatement. However, the pandemic is just one of the many inhibitors currently slowing business growth—and now is the best time to turn a critical eye on your B2B marketing initiatives to root out and eliminate marketing inhibitors.

This three-part series will help you do that by examining inhibitors that affect business growth. Today, we look at two inhibitors.

Differentiating Your Company

There is countless competition in the B2B market. Do you think your company is setting itself apart from the others?

Answer this question not with your own words, but with your clients’ words. Look through your customer testimonials or ask some of clients directly.

You’re looking for an emotional aspect. That’s mandatory in B2B marketing. Of course, your products/services should be resolving their issues quickly, but too many companies leave emotions out of the equation. If your clients aren’t emotionally connected to your company, you’ve become a cog in their machine, and you ARE missing on the low-hanging fruit that a lasting relationship develops.

Spend time researching your buyer personas and execute your plan to form an emotional connection. Additionally, focus on your storytelling.

Filling an Order vs. Advising and Influencing

Without a doubt, growth in a B2B market is directly aligned to communicating your authority in that space. Certainly, when customers think they know what they want, it’s easier to fill an order and move on. It’s important, however, to remember that you are the expert, and being an authority in your space, you have a unique ability to guide customers down the right path.

We are not saying that the customer is wrong. We’re saying that your marketing has an opportunity to increase their benefit with your knowledge and expand their horizons with your unique products and services. Every time you discover your potential customer’s pain points, you have an incredible opportunity to inform, excite, and go above and beyond their expectations.

When companies move forward with you, it’s a sign they believe your company will bring about a brighter future.

Coming up Wednesday (Part 2 of 3): “A Secret Weapon for Battling External Marketing Inhibitors”

BayCreative helps break through barriers that you are facing with marketing your brand, product, or service… just like we’ve done for our clients like Salesforce, ServiceNow, Cisco, DocuSign, Palo Alto Networks, Twitter, and more! If you’re interested in working with BayCreative, please go ahead and contact us—we would love to talk more.

Stay healthy!

4 Great Tools for Creating Better B2B Content

Posted by Scott Danish on Mar 9, 2021 1:29:24 PM

Is your content lagging? You’re not alone. Untimely and unsuccessful content creation happens for a variety of reasons other than inadequate planning. The good news is there are countless marketing tools out there that can help you reach more B2B buyers, create more compelling campaigns, and stay organized.

Here are a few of our favorites.

Optimize your writing for greater visibility

One of the biggest challenges that marketers face is creating content optimized for search engines. Keyword research is the first step. It enables you to uncover the commonality of search queries, the number of websites you’d be competing against for organic traffic, and much more. With 78% of companies using search engine optimization (SEO) and keyword research to their advantage, you probably miss out on visibility and potential business. Some of our favorite SEO keyword research tools include Moz (www.moz.com) and SEMrush (www.semrush.com).

Build accurate personas

Building accurate personas is one of the best things you can do for your business. But surprisingly, only 56% of companies are using them to their advantage. Personas can help you better define your buyers—and get to know them on a deeper level—so you can target them with the right message at the right time.

Now is a critical time to revisit your buyer personas since they likely shifted during the pandemic. The economy peaked in the fourth quarter of 2019 before experiencing two consecutive quarters of plunging GDP. Declining business in 2020 made it clear that people, in general, are more conservative with their cash reserves.


To create an accurate and useful persona, you should know your potential buyers’ current pain points, the things that motivate them, their interests, and buying behaviors. This will enable you to speak to them in a way that resonates with them. A few persona-generator tools we suggest include: FlowMapp (www.flowmapp.com) and Smaply (www.smaply.com/tools/personas).

Stay on top of your content

An editorial calendar, or publishing schedule, is used by businesses to control their content across various media, including blogs, social networks, and email newsletters. The calendar summarizes broad themes within your writing and helps you plan a strategic distribution of throughout the year.

For the best results, you should put a lot of effort into planning your editorial calendar and spend time focusing on creating or reviewing your marketing objectives. In the end, this will save you valuable hours and improve your productivity.


You and/or your team will be creating content regularly—and distributing a large amount of content is optimal when combined with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Combining editorial calendars and KPIs will give you the clarity you need to grasp what connects with your customers’ interests—and determine pieces that result in high engagement, conversions, or even customer receivability.

After you’ve had an opportunity to analyze your work, you can recycle well-received content, amp up visibility, and use it as a control. A few editorial calendar tools we suggest include: Trello (www.trello.com) and CoSchedule (www.coschedule.com).

Improve readability

Writing tools are useful for obvious reasons. Tools like Grammarly (www.grammarly.com) or Hemingway Editor (www.hemingwayapp.com) offer real-time grammar, spelling, and voice corrections. They can also provide in-depth explanations and advice to help improve your writing skills. Since customers might lose trust after seeing simple mistakes in your writing, it’s a great idea to add them to your list of content-creation tools. You can use them within Microsoft Office, email, Google applications, or even on social media.

If this sounds like a lot of work, that’s because it is, but it is work worth doing, and BayCreative can help.

We’re experts at creating virtual and digital content for B2B and have done so for clients like Salesforce, Cisco, ServiceNow, DocuSign, Palo Alto Networks, Twitter, Airship, Google, and more! 

Look at all the things that evolved in 2020 that you want to keep, change, or stop doing. Then ask yourself: How do I want to change my content marketing to prepare for whatever comes next? If BayCreative can help, please let us know.

Stay healthy!
