Marketing

DIY Media takes a smart yet simple approach to help advertisers explore new ways to interact with consumers across the web, social networks and mobile devices. Our apps can maximize existing creative using images, videos, music and games to create interactive branded experiences on the web thus saving time and money. Our apps are also powerful enough to take on the most creative minds giving advertisers the freedom to balance cost and creative in a smart way.

Music & Entertainment

Entertainment content owners and digital media companies can tap DIY Media to create branded apps that are as powerful as a microsite, but compatible for ad networks or social networks via feeds. Some of our entertainment campaigns have streamed video trailers, provided instant music downloads, offered CDs or DVDs for purchase, and more. We can also integrate local ticket sales for movies or concerts, request for subscriptions via email or develop mini branded games to enhance consumer engagement. Consumers can discover, interact and transact with your branded entertainment experiences – all through one simple app.

Retail

All indications suggest that social commerce will soon move from third rail to the holy grail of online shopping. Social channels have already transformed the way consumers interact with retailers, yet many social commerce plays in the market focus heavily on “sale” rather than “share.” DIY Media is different. We work with retailers and their agencies to create interactive social experiences that are equally worth a share and a sale on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and more.

With our interactive social commerce apps, retailers can empower their fans to make product referrals to their community of friends in ways that enhance, and not interrupt their social experience. DIY Media create social apps for retailers that offer a sharable catalog of products for sale through social networks, integrated referral programs, create wish-lists and gifting experiences and highlight exclusive promotions for immediate purchase. Make this a reality for online shoppers, and capture more mindshare and revenue opportunity.

Publishing

Publishers of books and magazines can engage people on social networks in new and exciting ways to help drive readers and revenues. DIY Media apps can help publishers engage readers on social networks by offering book reviews, reader polls, headline feeds while still offering an instant check-out method that makes the sale a social experience. Take your existing business and boost exposure via social media outlets.

Non-profits

Non-profits can take advantage of the philanthropic nature of social networks by creating interactive experiences to be shared virally. By combining video and other media, non-profits and charities can capture the attention of passive audiences on social networks thus raising more awareness for the cause being promoted.

DIY Media can build interactive social apps that can educate audiences on charitable causes, collect donations and allow for the viral nature of social networking to spread awareness globally. Let your fans be the evangelists and spread the word across previously untapped audiences.
