2012 - USING RESEARCH TO DEVELOP AN INTEGRATED STRATEGY
John Metselaar is the Chief Integrated Marketing, Creative and Brand Strategist at K&H ISG (Integrated Solutions Group). John has excelled at Integrated (Traditional to Online) Direct Response Marketing, Branding, Creative Services, and eCommerce since 1995. He pioneered online marketing and advertising in 2000 by creating a perpetual testing environment supported with real-time tracking technology for measuring performance.
KEY TAKEAWAYS: Demographic profiling and geographic targeting have been very successful strategies to create best practices to reach audiences. Imagery and messages must target region and audience appropriately and content must be compelling. Traditional media and distribution (e.g. door hangers, direct mail) often trumped new media.
Most Recent - RETAIL ENVIRONMENTS FOR CHANEL AT BLOOMINGDALE ON 59TH NYC
I integrated SMARTSHEET PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE into their operation so that the different departments could communicate, collaborate and prepare / update the daily schedules more efficiently. This also aided in foreseeing scheduling and production problems on the manufacturing floor, as well as coordinating incoming products, custom constructed materials, staging, shipping and onsite construction. The goal was to automate all functions and systems via an API and optimize internal communications and time spent on redundant processes.
I also redesigned their web site using a better URL www.blueskywoodworksinc.com
OTHER RECENT PROJECTS INCLUDE

Auditing the alleged services of a national digital agency and validating the lack of performance
