Vladas Krivickas
Online marketing strategist

Started out as a reporter at a small town paper, went on to study literature and writing, first in the Vilnius University, then in the University of Illinois at Chicago, just to find myself working as an online marketing strategist later on.
When you connect the dots, my path does not seem unexpected or odd. Marketing, as much as good prose is all about telling a story. Brilliant work of fiction always begins with a great idea and so does an efficient marketing plan. Plug in all the online tools we have nowadays, and that story can be blasted out to thousands, even millions of people on daily basis.
It is truly amazing to see how many companies spend tens of thousands of dollars on marketing without carefully crafting their message and selecting the right tools.  My job is to help small and medium businesses to re-brand themselves, articulate their message, transmit it online and monitor the results.

Essential skills for a journalist include an ability to ask right questions at the right time and listen carefully to their subject. Throughout my career as a journalist I had plenty of opportunities to hone these essentials skills, as well as combine them with my analytical skills acquired during college years as a political science major.
As a communications director at Intelligent Clout I am responsible for an effective dialogue between the company and the client. From early ideas to the detailed marketing plan, my job is to learn the company’s history and parlay it into a story that would make our clients stand out in the grey sea of sameness. I personally interview CEOs, Presidents and owners of businesses in order to learn as much as possible not only about their businesses, but also about their personalities. This way the online presence of our clients is given a “human face.” Instead of being just one more faceless corporation with a generic nondescript website, the company becomes a desired business partner.
I bring structure, consistency and confidence to our clients’ marketing message, so they end up telling the same cohesive story across all marketing mediums (including website content, social media, Google Adwords, Facebook ads, and email marketing messages). After all, our efforts serve one major goal: increase lead generation and sales through increased online visibility.

Get up in the morning and write a press release. Have some lunch and then write another one. Struck by an afternoon slump? Power up your computer, have a cup of coffee and type away a press release. Before you leave your office, make sure you have written one more press release.
Do you think you can tell what my credo is? Surprise: “Get up in the morning and write a press release!”
My job at Intelligent Clout is to make sure all the press releases that our clients request are written well, on time, and sent out to the people who actually are going to read them. I also manage content creation for websites and blogs.
