Seeing the very rapid growth of the downloads of his app, he decided to leave the clinic and focused more into local marketing leveraging the use of latest technologies in the market. How does Drew Griffin differentiate himself from other Internet Marketers? It took Drew Griffin years to transition from the local marketing strategies, going door to door and sell his services to internet marketing such as facebook marketing and advertising, and into finding his own unique framework, developing the concept of local media asset. What is Drew Griffin's Local Media Asset approach or concept? Drew Griffin and his business partner created a media company, establishing and making its space and attracting audience by delivering news and events in a local space. They command all the attention and can compete with big and established media companies, televisions, newspapers because they can deliver information much faster than these companies. And once their local social media presence started picking up, their audience started to grow. Their audience becomes their asset into obtaining clients in such a way that clients come to them, and not the other way around. Their clients come from different types of businesses, offering different sorts of services but one thing they all have in common is they want attention from their local space so they could talk about their services or products. With the help of Drew Griffin's Local Media Asset approach, they bring these companies advance results in the form of attention (views of videos, social media comments, engagement in social media etc). Once the results are showing and they have established relationship with their clients over time, they offer more services in forms of consultations or some other services they provide.
