Design Moves LLC

Local governments, builders and other agencies' clients all turn up in the client mix of Design Moves Marketing Studio, a South Florida firm in Oakland Park that has been in business for more than a decade. The studio says it blurs the line between a design company and a marketing company, using ideas from both to build a presence for each client online and offline, and its clients are found across the country, mostly on the east and west coasts.

Search and local visibility

Local search engine optimization is one of the studio's headline services. It says it helps determine which keywords will bring in new business and works to improve a client's visibility in local results. Regional pages on its site refer to Fort Lauderdale and Oakland Park SEO, and recent articles on its blog discuss local discovery beyond Google Maps, including Apple Maps and spatial search, and keyword research for nonprofits.

Marketing for public bodies

The studio offers marketing aimed at government agencies and describes it as public outreach: social media marketing for municipalities and local government, and outreach for builders and developers. Its articles on social media for local government show that this is a continuing part of its output.

Consulting and coaching

Marketing consulting ranges from eMarketing strategy to in-person meetings in Oakland Park. Consultations may be a monthly coaching arrangement or a request for a single piece of advice. The studio also offers brand management and AdWords consultancy, and it can curate content or run a full management service depending on what a client wants.

Work behind another agency's name

Larger marketing agencies can use the studio as a subcontractor. It says it carries out SEO, social media and digital marketing under the agency's own brand, which lets the agency scale without adding overhead.

Design, video and pattern work

The older service list also includes graphic design and illustration, including pattern design for fabric and other surfaces, and social media management. Video work covers marketing video and drone production on site, as well as editing of footage a client has already shot, and footage for real estate. The studio is careful to note that it is not a film production company.

It explains that the name Design Moves comes from the idea that every industry must be visually appealing to attract customers.
