Hi Aryonna! What was your journey like starting Silver Light Media?

Are you from Colorado? Which neighborhood did you eventually choose to call home?

What are some of your favorite Marketing Campaigns for Brands or Events you are most proud of?

• Recently, I’ve enjoyed being the marketing manager for The 9th Door Capitol Hill, which makes the neighborhood’s most delicious tapas. I would frequently visit, and one day, the chef and owner, Brian Murphy, contacted me to discuss building a more substantial online presence. I suggested an online marketing plan emphasizing Instagram growth strategies, local SEO, and positive online reviews. I love walking by and seeing the entire restaurant full most evenings.

  Another recent marketing campaign I’m proud of is for Urban Dogg, a local pet grooming and supply store with two locations in Uptown and Washington Park. Urban Dogg is one of the only pet groomers with same-day availability that is also open seven days a week. When speaking with the owner, we discussed their high volume customer needs. I suggested a holistic marketing campaign integrating social media growth strategies, PPC advertising on Facebook and Google, and print material reinforcing their online promotions. I’m thrilled that both locations are seeing consistent new customers from the marketing strategies I’ve suggested. Loyal customers also love the rewards they receive by engaging with Urban Dogg’s social media accounts.

  On the event side, I was recently the PR/Marketing Manager for the sold-out 7th annual Denver BrunchFest. Event marketing can be a little trickier, but I absolutely love it. When it comes to event promotion, a solid promotional kit is vital. I created a kit for influencers and one for all the restaurants that were a part of the event, filled with image assets, suggested text, and ways to customize the content to their specific feed.

  I significantly emphasized influencer marketing for this event to help spread the word. Partnering with local content creators, many of whom had attended the event before, allowed for an organic and authentic way for people looking for things to do in Denver to discover the event. Another trend I’m loving right now is collaborative promotional Reels on Instagram. It was so fun visiting the restaurants who were participating beforehand for a sneak peek of what’s to come and highlighting their lovely locations.

Then, there is typically a review period, a contract is signed, and then services begin.

  Silver Light Media offers social media management, public relations management, influencer marketing plans, PPC on Facebook and Google, local SEO, branded print materials, and one-on-one coaching.

What are some accomplishments of Silver Light Media you are most proud of?

• I’m very proud to be celebrating over a decade in business. When I started Silver Light, I wanted the company to last through my twenties and into my thirties. I’m honored to have worked with hundreds of businesses nationwide and had multiple clients for over five years. I’m passionate about seeing marketing strategies grow month after month and year after year.

  These last few years have been particularly rough for business owners. I’m proud to have helped many clients survive the pandemic and thrive. To be a marketing solution that provides a great return on investment and gets people to see social media in a different and exciting light.

  One of the highlights of my career is when I gave a 90-minute presentation on social media best practices to a Fortune Five Hundred Ballet Franchise using analytics and example posts from a year’s worth of campaigns to show as an example to the other franchisees. It felt amazing not just to reference general social media support but to know the advice I was sharing came from other studios that saw success from those strategies.
