Is it worth paying for a professional voice over artist to promote their brand/company?

Advertiser Vs Consumer – The Reality
In this ever-changing world of buying and selling, the goalposts and conditions in which this is done are changing rapidly. The world can seem like one big call centre, every time the phone rings it could be someone trying to sell to us. What we really like, as a nation, are the conditions in which we want to buy, not be sold to. That is the reason I quite like this video; it shows the relationship between the advertiser and the consumer and how much times …

This is a recent talk I gave at a 4Networking meeting in Birmingham Longbridge about personal and business branding by incorporating audio into the mix.
In this modern age, it’s becoming more and more important for businesses to be accessible to lots of different types of people, and the ways they absorb information. Become a market leader by having an ethos of accessible-to-all, utilising good copywriting, graphics, imagery, video and audio.

I do at times stop and think about how far technology has come on in the last 10 years or so. Now we’re in 2010, being able to receive up to the minute news and information via mobile handsets seems perfectly normal, but certainly wasn’t the case with me using one of my old Nokia’s from 2000!
I remember when I had my first WAP enabled phone; it was desperately slow, but it kind of worked. It was I guess the Teletext equivalent for the mobile revolution. How far things have …

Well folks, the time has arrived, 2010 is now upon us. I for one will welcome this new year in gladly, as for me I think it’s going to be a year that will absolutely rock, work-wise. Things over the past year have been picking up very well, word has spread, and the marketing efforts both online and off are really beginning to pay off.
It’s just the most satisfying feeling when you can see the results happen in front of your eyes. Long hours have been spent travelling the country …

Ok, bold statement time. You may not be listening properly to your customers. So many of us are guilty for it though, so you’re not alone!
It’s true though,sometimes we get so caught up in ‘what we offer’, it’s not always in synch with ‘what people want’. I had a skype chat with a colleague of mine last week, and we got on to the subject of the packages that I currently offer, namely podcasts, on-hold messaging etc etc. Through the conversation he mentioned that it’s easier for other people to …

I had a conversation with someone the other day about various forms of marketing in today’s world, with all the technology we have nowadays compared to say 10 years ago. This person wasn’t too out of touch with what you could do now, but they certainly weren’t an uber-geek! We were on the subject of podcasts, and how they can benefit businesses within their existing marketing mix. This person thought, by the name podcast, that you needed an iPod to play it on! (Bless…)
This, naturally, isn’t the case at all. …

On this hot and sunny afternoon, I thought it was time to show you the wizard behind the curtain who’s helped me a lot with this blog, and he goes by the name of Mick Davies from MAD Computer Solutions. He’s the kind of guy who whenever I have an issue, he’s always there on the end of a phone, email or Skype when I’ve buggered something up! He’s helped massively with my main site as well, richardheathcote.co.uk – and most recently helped me sort meta content out on this …
