Charleston Native, George Turner, leads BrandVision Marketing into Lowcountry offering a full-range of marketing services
CHARLESTON, SC. “Today’s business owners are often overwhelmed,” states George Turner, BrandVision Marketing Vice-President, “Wearing five hats is truly nothing out of the ordinary with one of those being the marketing hat. There just isn’t enough time to meet with numerous ad reps, design a brochure, manage and SEO program, update a website-all the things that go into successfully marketing a business.” Enter BrandVision Marketing. BrandVision is a full-service agency that serves as an extension of a business owner’s marketing department, offering any services that a marketing department would be expected to provide.
Turner, a Charleston native and seasoned marketing veteran, is leading BrandVision Marketing’s Charleston office. Turner’s career began in the mortgage sector before moving into real estate for Realty Executives in 2003, where he earned “Top Sales Agent/Executive” out of 20,000 agents for Realty Executives International. He received the “Pinnacle Award” in back-to-back years. Turner’s career has included real estate investing, business coaching as well as a mobile marketing venture. Turner resides near Charleston with his four sons.
“I truly love both the creative side of marketing and the strategic elements,” says Turner. Both interests will serve him well with BrandVision Marketing, which was started in 1993 in Knoxville, Tennessee, where the company is headquartered. Charleston’s recent and expected continued growth made for a very appealing site of expansion for the 22-year old company. “This is a special area,” comments Turner. “With the explosive growth that we’ve seen here, business’ will more and more rely on partnerships for the voice of their marketing efforts. Speaking through one-entity like BrandVision creates the much-needed continuity that delivers a profitable brand.”
The challenge for any established company moving into a new market is familiarity. “That’s where I come in,” says Turner. “The BrandVision philosophy is relationship-centered. We truly work in partnership with our clients-monitor sales and track results as their Agency of Record. In many situations, we serve as our client’s marketing department. That close-knit relationship needs a local presence. I’m excited about the opportunity to truly help small and medium size business owners excel.”
Of course, that doesn’t preclude a larger corporation, with a large marketing department, from working with BrandVision. “The great thing about our business model is the flexibility. We can provide the entire puzzle for small to mid-sized groups, or-if a larger company just needs to outsource their SEO or purchase printing and promotional products, we can provide just that piece of the puzzle as well,” states Turner.
In an age of segmentation, the full-service agency has become a rarity. “Technology has really created a lot of segmentation today, which is fine,” states Turner. “However, there is certainly an advantage to having one brand ambassador overseeing the brand to ensure a much-needed consistency, which often falls through the cracks when working with multiple vendors. We serve to maintain your brand’s vision, while eliminating much of the leg work involved in marketing. You lose no control of the message or money, but have none of the headaches.”
BrandVision Marketing was started in 1993 as a full-service advertising and marketing services provider.
