It's not just about creating eye-catching images, engaging content is critical to support your visual images, keep people more engaged with your brand and optimize your search engine performance. Though it can seem quite complex, search engine optimization (SEO) is simply a way to direct relevant organic web search traffic to an organization’s web pages to improve their visibility online.

Use keywords strategically. A keyword is a word or phrase that someone might search for that sums up the topic of a web page or article. Keywords are the basis of SEO and help search engines find relevant pages.

Make readability a priority. A well-written piece will still appear fairly high in search results even if the writer has not actively integrated SEO strategies. Keywords are simply a way to supplement good content to achieve additional website traffic. That being said, any online content, whether with strategic keywords or not, can be improved for better SEO value.

There are always a lot of marketing lessons to learn from Super Bowl commercials. Brands flood the event with interesting ads that are hard for fans to skip. It's the one time of year that people actually look FORWARD to commercials and it's the most expensive media event of the year. This year a thirty-second spot went for $6.5 million, up a million from 2021. Twenty-five percent of people that tune in for the game, do it just for the commercials.

For a marketer, it's an opportunity to see the marketing industry do what they do best: show off their brand in an engaging and entertaining way. But dropping millions on a commercial isn't the only way to engage your audience during the big game. In 2015 Volvo mastered this innovation to outsmart its competitors through its social media campaign. It did this through the simple rules -tweet every time a car commercial aired and have a chance to win the newly released XC60. Instead of paying for air time they gave away 5 cars at a cost of 38K a piece.

However a brand chooses to engage with their audience, rather humor, appeals to emotion, or celebrity appearances a captive audience isn't always a recipe for success. The demographics of that audience are as varied as the products and services vying for attention.

What was your favorite ad and why?
After you saw the ad, did you remember what the commercial was advertising?
What commercials didn't focus on their respective brand but instead addressed a social concern that spurred conversation?

From the coin toss to the halftime show and the commercials, here are the highlights from Sunday's game.

Our local Facebook plant group might be a little obsessed about plants. I hope that came through in my designs for a business card and group cover photo.

The business cards are designed to be given out to prospective group members we may run into around town. If you're not familiar with this group and you love plants, you should definitely consider joining BCS Plant Friends
