Blue Ocean Global Technology: How do you spread brand awareness? How is JJR Marketing different?

Jackie: We continue to spread awareness through media placements, speaking engagements, engaging content, and sharing ideas. Some clients have described JJR as a ministry wrapped around a business.

Blue Ocean Global Technology: You have been in the marketing business for 12 years. How would you summarize the changes in how clients interact with a firm like yours?

Jackie: There have been two major changes in our industry that have affected firms like ours. First, the conversion from push marketing (features and benefits) to pull marketing (why and value).

Second, the access to information through technology that has enabled consumers to make better decisions makes it harder to get their attention. The way that a firm like ours stays relevant is by producing valuable content, creating unique experiential marketing campaigns, and using innovation to capture the attention of the audiences.

Blue Ocean Global Technology: Why are you so passionate about empowering Latinas with the confidence and knowledge to make the most informed decisions? Please share perspective on your book series. 

Jackie: I have been in business for over a decade working primarily with Caucasian CEOs, even though it is completely the opposite of what a represent as a young Latina. Since I was so focused on growing my business, I never realized that I would be an inspiration to the Hispanic community until about four years ago when I hosted a birthday party for 31 young ladies as a way to give back to the community and almost all of them were Latinas.

I started getting involved with more and more Latina professionals, which is what gave me the idea to create my 7th book called Today’s Inspired Latina, launched in 2015. Little did I know that the initial book would become a series that started with one book and 10 authors to now 4 books and 106 authors from all over the world.

We have been featured in over 50 media outlets, invited to host an event at the prestigious New York Times and hosted between 500-800 in each of the three book launches in Chicago for the last 3 consecutive years. More information here: www.todayslatina.com

Blue Ocean Global Technology: You launched Fig Factor Media LLC an editorial and publishing services company, focused on helping others fulfill their dreams of authorship. What is the vision and how did your latest venture come about?

Jackie: Most of the decisions that I make are driven by inspirations. Since the successful launch of my first book, I have met with hundreds of people who seek my guidance and best practices on the publishing process. You see, after you work with 3 different publishing houses and publish 7 books, you learn a little bit about how to do it. I decided to make it formal and create a company that could help all of those interested in fulfilling this dream.

Blue Ocean Global Technology: What is the most important advice for PR companies with respect to client acquisition and retention?

Jackie: There is nothing that tops the art of providing an exceptional experience to the customer. If the customer feels that you have his/her best interest in mind, the client will stay with you forever and will become a brand evangelist for your brand.

Blue Ocean Global Technology: How important of a role does social media play in client acquisition and retention?

Jackie:  role of social media is important when it comes to broadcasting the good news of the company as third party endorsement. It is a wonderful way to reinforce the reputation of the firm. We have a rule of thumb when it comes to sharing content and social media being one of the most important vehicles: create the content once, share at least 5-7 times in multiple channels.

Brittney Bagiardi

Business Development & Marketing Manager at Butler Weihmuller Katz Craig LLP February 4, 2020

The Legal Marketing Association's Tampa City Group was honored to have Sameer come to speak with us regarding Online Reputation Management. Sameer is an energetic presenter who took the time to answer each and every one of our questions. His expertise was evident in his polished presentation, and our members were engaged thoroughly. All communications leading up to the event were timely and friendly, and I have enjoyed my time working with Sameer on this speaking engagement.

Tamie Maffeo

Marketing Manager at NEIRG Wealth Management. & Business Succession Advisers, LLC

Working with Sameer and the team at Blue Ocean Global Technology has been such a positive experience! The ongoing communication combined with the efficiency of work of the team is very much appreicated. Sameer is quick to respond to any questions we may have. He and his team is quick to to resolve any questions that arise. They go above and beyond for us no matter what day or time we reach out. I have had many dissapointing engagements over the years with similar firms but must say that this is a refreshing experience. I am in a niche business with complicated regulations surronding our marketing platform. Having the peace of mind that the team at Blue Ocean is there to impliment and guide our firm gives me great satisfation. That being said, I give them my highest reccomendations and would gladly speak with anyone who has any questions regarding my experience.

Jay Chong

EVP, Head of e-Mobility Group at SK Group

I had a chance to work with Sameer for several months, and he has been one of the most transparent and responsible people I have ever worked with. He has been highly responsive, always responding within a day despite the time zone difference, and thoughtful, which was a big relief for me as some I worked with in the past were "Catch Me if You Can". He has delivered all his promises and more. He has been genuine and results oriented. It has been a pleasure working with him, and I highly recommend his service.

Vern Hayden

Client Advocate at Sovereign Financial Group, Inc

Sameer lives outside the cliche’s of life. Let me put it this way:

If you were looking for someone totally committed to helping in a mission, a cause, or company you would want Sameer.

If you were looking for someone who would drop everything to help you, who knows the best and worst about you, someone with empathy and understanding, in short someone you call a “true friend” , you would want Sameer.

If you want someone who has aligned themselves with the great causes of women you will want Sameer. If you want someone who gives a damn about kids that are abused,misplaced,without direction,kicked to the curb, and need help get Sameer.

If you want someone to give a mesmerizing presentation get Sameer. He will stay up all night doing relentless research on the subject and the audience and inspire your audience to action.

If you want someone with a consistent well defined philosophy of life combined with a remarkable code of ethics you want Sameer.

If you want a leader with emotional and academic intelligence combined with magnetic charisma check in with Sameer.

If you want a team player who has been in the trenches as well as the mountain tops Sameer has been there.

If you want someone to help stabilize your business and take it to greater fulfillment Sameer will be there for you.

If you need a George Gilder tech genius as a resource., Sameer knows the best and can bring innovative solutions to your challenges. ( the right wing radio host Rush Limbaugh said if he could choose another brain it would be Gilder’s.)
If you need someone to trust with integrity and accountability you need to meet Sameer. I could go on but I think you know how I feel about this guy now. I have known and been a friend for over two decades.

Sameer Somal is a personality you cannot forget! I met Sameer one year exhibiting at the Delaware Valley Legal Expo in King of Prussia, PA. It was the end of the night and he came over to introduce himself to me and my colleague. We engaged in an amazing conversation about The TASA Group and about relationship management. He helped us take our belongings to the car at the end of the night. We all left with a new connection and a lifelong friend. So excited with meeting Sameer, we immediately figured out how we could work together - webinars, articles and in-person presentations to some of the organizations we are partnered with. It's been a few years since we met and Sameer continues to thrive in his field and in his expertise. The light he exudes is both infectious and comforting. I would recommend Sameer for any job!

My name is Walter J. Wiesenhutter and I am loyal client of Sameer Somal’s and Blue Ocean Global Technology. I founded Jay Associates in 1984 and served as president of our consulting company for several decades. Regretfully, our offices were in the World Trade Center in 9/11 and we lost key team members as a result of those tragic events. We persevered for the next few years to replace the seemingly unreplaceable. I met Sameer, one of the co-founders of Blue Ocean Global Technology in 2005. I was immediately impressed with his genuine character and commitment to serving others. The emergence of the internet and digital technology changed our business so much and our meeting couldn’t have been more serendipitous. I was quite fortunate to learn of this company’s world-class resources. Over the years, they were instrumental in improving our stellar reputation and building a digital presence that reflected the trust we had with our clients offline. As business partners, clients, and friends complained about their Google presence, disappointing web development projects, and digital marketing companies over promising and under delivering, I referred them directly to Sameer and his team at Blue Ocean Global Technology. Their needs and requirements were always handled with care; the feedback is always exceptional because they deliver results based on exactly what the companies want to help them grow. When Blue Ocean Global Tech did not feel they could provide the best service or guidance on a particular situation, Sameer and his colleagues are honest with me or anyone from my network. They then took the time to find resources and partners within their trusted network that were a better fit. Today, at 75, I am delighted to share and document my successful experiences with this team of excellent professionals. If you are looking for a global team that is diligent, honest, and transparent, you have found the right company in Blue Ocean Global Technology. Not only do I give them my highest and best recommendation, I feel fortunate to call many of their global team members my friends!
