Organic Digital Strategy

HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB

April 30, 2018

Proposal by: Giovanni Gallucci

Proposal for: Michelle Krebsbach

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to present this proposal to you. I am interested in providing HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB with digital marketing services.

You need a digital marketing strategy. You need to figure out where your target audience is hanging out on the internet: is it Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, lnstagram, YouTube, SnapChat, or some other online nook you're not yet aware of? Are they still using Google to find you? If so, is that via desktop or mobile search?

We also need to make sure your brand message is consistent, durable, and is one that will resonate with your target market on social media. What information are they looking for? What problem do they want HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB to solve for them? And where do they want to find the solution? Finally, I'll uncover which digital channels are the best match for your website's conversion process. The real goal is to get a consistent traffic of buyers headed to your site so we want to make certain that we're catching your target at time when they're likely to buy and make it easy for them to do so, wherever they are.

This is why I am here. I have advanced skills in online strategy, social media, & SEO. All these skills can be brought to bear on this project, saving HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB considerable$$ and time when these skills are needed on the campaigns. I can also provide photo and video shooting and editing for a separate fee.

Thank you again for allowing me the opportunity and the consideration.

I, Giovanni Gallucci, have been consulting in the search & social media disciplines since 1996. After working for different online marketing agencies, I realized that clients were being underserved by agencies who relied on workers who were under qualified & not experts in their clients' fields. I began consulting as an independent contractor with the belief that the client should be working directly with an expert who had deep knowledge of the industry they work in.

I develop digital brand strategies and create campaigns that span all areas of internet marketing including search engine optimization, social media, influencer marketing and more with a heavy emphasis on using platform approproate media to get the attention of users and advanced technical tactics to get the attention of the algorithms that run the search results and news feeds of search engines and social media sites.

Social Media Club is the largest professional social media networking organization in the world with hundreds of chapters around the world. I am a co-founder of the national Social Media Club & I founded the Austin & Dallas chapters of the organization. My work has won awards from the Emmy's, The Telly's, Ad Age, & the Webby's. I regularly speak at online marketing events including Pubcon (Las Vegas, Austin, Dallas), Ad Tech, Search Engine Strategies, DFWSEM, Social Media Club , SXSW, & others in the US & as far away as Dubai, Toronto, & the Caribbean.

positive impact on distribution and sales;

Below are the items that this services contract will focus on in order to drive the best possible results for HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB based upon the discussion we have had to date.

Initial Setup Reviewing SEO Audit

We'll start by Developing a comprehensive SEO audit of your competitors and get your feedback on where I plan to focus our efforts so we all know we're on the page starting out. I have delivered the initial Website Audit I performed at the beginning of Phase One and we got an idea of where we are starting and what issues need to be addressed on the website.

Setting Up Tools

I'll make sure your analytics tools are set up properly and configure Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools to measure what traffic is contributing to your sales conversion. I use other insightful tools that provide information on where your links are coming from, competitive analysis, keyword research tools, brand monitoring, and more.

Onpage Optimization

Based on the audit, I'll execute any necessary changes to your site which may include things like content edits, changing the title and meta description, updating your robots.txt and XML sitemap, using 301 redirects, and making usability tweaks to the design.

Ongoing Services:

Landing Pages

Landing pages help you rank for targeted keywords and I'll help you develop them. Instead of one page trying to rank for multiple keywords, it's better to create a separate page for every keyword you want to target. The page should contain valuable, in-depth content that's way better than your competitors. The more useful and comprehensive your landing page, the higher Google will place in their search rankings.

Link Building

This is where I engage with people to receive links. The goal is to get high quality vs. high volume links as Google penalizes sites that have too many low quality links. How will I do this?

Measurement and Optimization

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Account management, content optimization and distribution (content provided by Tandem and HEMPd), review management, & social listening for all HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB's social media accounts. All accounts are monitored 7 days a week.

Discovery/Partnerships

Several methods can be employed to determine the 'powerful' links that are key to a successful Social Media & SEO effort. Sites are found via multiple link building tools as wells as specialized search queries. Content relevancy & other metrics such as MozRank, site indexation, backlinks to the linking page, outbound links will be reviewed to ensure that links are of value to the campaign. A list of links that should be pursued will be created & Giovanni Gallucci will then contact the site owners to attain the links & tracking the efforts to show success rate of links acquired.

3.6 Analytics

The current Google, Facebook, lnstagram, Youtube, & Twitter analytics accounts will be reviewed & suggestions made to ensure that tracking is set up correctly, as well as ensuring that all data is accurate & actionable.

I'm highly technical in a very social sense. Beyond getting invited speak at lots of industry events, I understand how you can translate what may seem like the frivolous online interaction of your customers into engaging with them in a way that makes your brand more meaningful. I also have a deep understanding of how search algorithms work not only on Google & bing, but on social media and review sites as well. I know who is where, what they're doing, and the best ways you can reach and interact with them. It's like knowing the dress code for every occasion, the right wine to bring to dinner, and whether a rom-com or a thriller is the best choice for movie night. We don't want to crash your customers' online party, we want your customer to discover and introduce HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB to everyone at their party on their own terms.

4.1   Factual Accuracy & Addressing Sensitive Topics

I appreciate the trust you put in me to promote your company, your brands, & your programs through social networks & otherwise. With this trust, I commit to be truthful when I am communicating about you, & also that I am careful if & when the dialogue ventures into certain highly-sensitive areas that require subject matter expertise, including discussions about your ingredients, consumer health as it relates to your products, your environmental impacts, or your financial performance. I will avoid the temptation to respond to these directly unless I either (i) respond with approved messaging the you have prepared for those topics, or (ii) when speaking in my personal capacity, make clear to my audience that I am not speaking on behalf of HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB.

Over the years, I have developed some tips I use as a guide as I talk about my clients. Please feel free to comment on these & offer any advice on adjustments you'd like me to make when discussing HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB.

Any statement I make about HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB which appears to be objective & verifiable (i.e., factual) must be truthful & not misleading, & I must have substantiation to support such statements in my possession at the time the statement is made. If I have any questions about HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB, your products, or your programs, I will ask before making any such statements.

I will not make statements on the assumption that I can gather the necessary proof/substantiation later; I must have that data at the time the statement is made. Even if a third party made a statement at issue initially, I know that if I amplify that statement by reposting it or linking to it on HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB's behalf or in a way that connects it to HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB, HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB becomes responsible for the statement1s accuracy. For example, if a blogger or other third party writes a post that makes arguably factual statements about one of HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB & I link to it in a way that implies that I'm doing so on behalf of HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB, I would be responsible for substantiating those statements. We all can prevent these situations from occurring by following the directives in items 1 & 2 above.

If I am discussing HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB's ingredients, consumer health as it relates to your products, HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB's environmental impacts, or your financial performance, I will only messaging that has been vetted & approved for use for me in my situation; if I don't have any approved messaging, I will refrain from participating in the discussion in any way that implies that I am speaking on HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB's behalf.

Month-to-month engagement includes the agreed upon retainer plus travel, production, and outside expenses with a 30-day clause which allows either party to cancel this agreement with no-fault to either party at any time for any reason or for no reason at all. The agreement assumes I (Giovanni Gallucci) am working on a monthly retainer which provides for the above agreed-upon man-hours per month devoted to online marketing projects for HEMPd, Eagle Spirit, & RMHB. No formal renewal is necessary. The engagement will continue under these same terms on a month-to-month basis until one party gives the other 30-day written notice for cessation of services.

As we work through this campaign, it is understood that the landscape is extremely fluid. So while baselines for measurement will stay constant, our tactics and focus will need to be malleable so as to allow us to redirect efforts as deemed necessary.

I look forward to starting this project.
