    If you had a really hot model in your disposal and wanted to use here to market your marketing firm online. How would you do it? Any good viral ideas including a hot model and PPC or SEO?

    Some of my idea:

    A picture with a crowd of people in black and white, with the model in the middel with real colors and all focus on here. Then include a slogan like "Stand out from the cround" or something..

    I like that.

    I sell e-books for single guys, but I dare not use a beautiful model. I instead use the next-doort cute type. Somebody guys can relate to.

    Besides, it is so overused.

    If I had a hot model at my disposal I wouldn't use her for marketing:D

    Your idea seems fine but it really comes down to what type of brand image you want people to have about your company and services. It is also important to consider your target audience.
    If your services are geared towards men 18-35 or so, then you could probably get away with an overly attractive model. There is a fine line between subtle sexy and trashy and you don't want to alienate other potential clients.

    Turn one of your marketing blog posts or white papers into a video post. Have the model read the script into the camera while looking good. Post it on youtube and on your website, with the final part of the video directing people to your site.

    I have a marketing firm, not an ebook or anything like that. So if you owned a marketing firm and you wanted to do some self promotions and you had a really good looking model - what would you do? Even if shes a model that doesnt mean she has to be naked in the promotion..

    Hello Cypherus ,

    Personally If I would have a marketing firm I would rather pick a typical geek with some big glasses , something funny rather than the model.

    I dont know why but maybe to make the connection between marketing - internet

    Good Luck
