PC Net & 85 Under announce the launch of their new brand identities to more effectively communicate their breadth of IT and data security services to the marketplace

PC Net & 85 Under announce the launch of their new brand identities to more effectively communicate their breadth of IT and data security services to the marketplace.

“We’ve been in business for over 20 years in the Springfield market,” said Greg Clift, owner of PC Net/85 Under. “We attribute this success to the fact that we’re always innovating and expanding our services to stay ahead of our customers’ growing needs.”

Because the PC Net and 85 Under companies have a symbiotic relationship, the branded identities needed to family. The result is a clean, powerful branding and icon structure that quickly and easily communicates a comprehensive array of services. “Some clients know us for IT, some as a data center, but not everyone sees the whole picture,” said Clift.

This was an important connection to make with customers since organic growth is important to their company prosperity. For example, a small start-up business may first establish a relationship with PC Net. “We’ll help new businesses solve connectivity, networking and systems,” said Clift. As the company grows, they may tap PC Net’s Pulse IT Management Services to help them manage their growing IT needs. And as they become even larger, the company will need a data center solution to service their back-up and collocation needs. Customers need to know that they can grow without having to deal with multiple IT and data security partners.

To deliver the new image with clarity and impact Clift identified all key branding touch points, from technician apparel and company vehicles to their web site, collateral and presentation materials. An icon language was designed and incorporated to not only reinforce the visual identity but to facilitate site navigation. The new http://www.pcnetinc.net and http://www.85under.com web sites were designed with a content management back-end to facilitate communication between technicians and clients as well as between management and technicians.

The result is a powerful branding system that clearly communicates all that PC Net and 85 Under can offer clients.

PC Net, Inc. has been providing best-in-class IT services to the Springfield community for more than 20 years. The company’s new Pulse IT Management offers growing businesses a cost-effective yet highly responsive way to outsource IT services that feel like they’re in-house. Located in Springfield Underground, 85 Under is a state-of-the-art data center offering data security, backups and collocation services to businesses throughout the country. For more information, contact Greg Clift at (417) 831-1700 or log on to http://www.pcnetinc.net and http://www.85under.com.

New major marketing drive from match.com urges singles to kick off the New Year with a visit to match.com rather than just waiting for Cupid and Fate

Match.com, the UK’s biggest online dating site, is set to launch a multimillion pound nationwide advertising push to ring in the New Year. The campaign follows hot on the heels of a successful 2008 in which match.com achieved a brand awareness double that of its nearest competitor.

In 2008 match.com focused on tempting people to try online dating and making it the new natural way to find a partner. For 2009, match.com is focused on further extending its leadership role in the UK through brand differentiation using ROI focused marketing initiatives and an ongoing commitment to product innovation to give members the best possible chance to find love.

The new campaign sees the return of Cupid and Fate in a new role as advocates for the match.com brand. The creative features the lazy, comedic duo realising for the very first time that match.com is doing their jobs too well. The hopelessness of both characters simply amplifies match.com’s strengths and benefits such as; the original Six Month Love Guarantee, the brand new personality test and that there are more single people looking for love on match.com than anywhere else.

The campaign urges singles not to wait for Cupid and Fate and visit match.com instead with half the creative dedicated to promoting match.com’s brand new personality test. Formulated by world renowned anthropologist Dr Helen Fisher the ‘match insights’ test is designed to help members find real love by understanding their personality type.

Jason Stockwood, International MD at match.com commented, “We believe that love is too important to be taken seriously which is why all our campaigns have a sense of humour. The new campaign is entertaining and motivating, urging people not to wait for Cupid and Fate in their quest for love and visit match.com instead. There are now hundreds of thousands of match success stories and we’re looking forward to increasing that number in 2009 by providing the best possible experience and making match.com the brand of choice for online dating.”

The new ‘Don’t Wait For Cupid and Fate’ adverts consist of a series of 30″ and 10″ spots which will run across ITV, C4, C5 and satellite channels in heavy weight bursts across the year. The campaign has been developed by match.com’s long-standing creative agency hanft raboy and partners (HRP), with media buying handled by Initiative. The key demographic for the adverts is 25-34 year old women.

Once again up-and-coming actors Glenn Hirst and Spencer Jones play Cupid and Fate respectively and the campaign was directed by Nick Jones, from Another Film Company, known for his work with top comedians Simon Pegg, Mitchell & Webb and the 118 118 commercial campaigns with Emma Johnston as producer.

November saw the launch of match insights, match.com’s brand new personality test. Designed by Dr Helen Fisher the test brings science to the art of single dating to the site for the very first time and it has been completed by over 60,000 people already. To follow will be a premium service for subscribers, ‘daily insights’ which delivers the very best matches each day based on their personality type.

About match.com:
match.com is one of the original pioneers of online personals when it launched on the Web in 1995 and continues to lead this exciting and evolving category after more than a decade.

Nicholas Marr Describes The New Way Google Intends To Present Search Results As A Quite Revolution That Could Make Search Engine Ranking Obsolete

The CEO of an online real estate marketing company Nicholas Marr has started a debate regarding the new way Google intends to present search results. He describes the development as a quite revolution that could make search engine ranking obsolete.

Nicholas Marr who heads Marr International that promotes a network of international real estate websites explains that Google is changing the way search engines present their results. No longer is it one size fits all, now you will be served a more personalized search result. The results you receive when searching for say “property in Spain” are very likely to be different to each individual

Nicholas Marr “For those that have worked hard to rank their websites the fear is that ranking may be dead! What is the point of being No.1 for your cherished search term when each user is presented with different search results? However this could be the best thing Google has ever done.

Google which is rolling out the changes from 2009 will group users into different populations who will be presented with results for a query in an order based upon past user behaviour of other members of that population.

The existing Google algorithm which worked out how it would rank a certain website was based on a limited set of variables. Linking is an example, websites that had good one way links ranked better than others. The new system has increased the variables and consequently ranking is now likely to be less important as it is only one of a many new variables. 

Nicholas Marr article at the HomesGofast.com Real Estate Blog has invited debate concerning the new way Google search engines will operate. The full article can be found at Google Personalised Search.
