We’re Changing for the Better
L2M is Now Leverage2Market
We’re proud to officially announce the new name for our company, Leverage2Market Associates, effective immediately.
Why the change?
L2M has always stood for leverage to market – helping organizations large and small get the most bang from their marketing buck. Now we’ve just come right out and said it directly.
We’re still committed to getting you powerful marketing performance and results–on target, on budget, and on time. We still work with some of the top marketing minds in Silicon Valley and beyond. And we are still dedicated to giving one-on-one focused attention to each and every client. That’s what marketing leverage is all about.
We’ve just relaunched our new website, www.Leverage2Market.com. We’ve included all the information you found on our old site in a much friendlier, easier-to-use format. And we’ve included some new features, too:
- Landing pages for each of our key audiences: Enterprises, Small & Medium Businesses, Start-Ups, Consultants & Professional Services, and Non-Profit Organizations.
- Information on our new, expanded Advertising & Media Strategy Services
- New Marketing Resources – on market sizing, brand review, launching a marketing campaign, and managing your online reputation, with more to come.
- A new storefront to make it easier to purchase products and services from us
Be sure to check out our newly redesigned blog and podcast sites as well.
Let us know what you think. We’d love to put marketing leverage to work for you or someone you know.
Contact us for more information or a complimentary assessment of your marketing needs.
New Certificate in Social Media Marketing Available
Groundbreaking offering from SFSU
We’re pleased to announce the launch of the brand new Certificate in Social Media Marketing at San Francisco State’s College of Extended Learning.
This marks the first time a certificate in social media marketing will be available at the college level in the Bay Area.
We are excited to have played an instrumental role in creating and developing the new program, which will launch in January 2011. Courses will focus on the power of community, mastering social media tools, creating effective social media campaigns, successful applications of social media strategies, as well as trends in mobile technology.
The final capstone course, Integrating Social Media into Overall Marketing Strategies, will be taught by Leverage2Market’s own Linda Popky this summer.
