Paul Lauer

Hi there,

I'm Paul Lauer. I've founded multiple companies and worked on 100+ movies, TV shows, publications, music releases and concerts, social platforms, apps and major events.

I'm best known for running the historic grass roots campaign for Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ (a billion-dollar franchise), and other innovative, industry-changing projects.

I love sharing the “secrets” to these successes.

The stories are worth a call

My magic formula:

Don't bring a product TO a community.Bring it THROUGH the community.

Instead of asking, “How can we sell these folks?” ask, “How can we serve them?”

Marketer of the Year

I call it, “motive marketing” - creating a symphony of motivated voices within a community that reverberate and amplify each other.

Ad Age called my model “a textbook study in high-profile and below-the-radar marketing,” and awarded me Ad Age Top 50 Marketer of the Year.

The Choral Effect

Publicity

Leveraging stories and reviews from trusted media outlets.

Promotions

Activating the community through contests, give-aways, interactions.

Advertising

Ads tailored to specific audiences with tailored messaging.

Events

Concerts, tours, conferences, and screenings for exposure.

Digital

Social pages, websites, blogs and podcasts speaking within the community.

When these voices “sing” together, the community hears a chorus they TRUST.

Business Plans

The three keys to success:

  • a winning concept
  • a focused plan
  • the right team

A winning business concept is a “good idea” that’s been validated by the market. Most companies fail because they plow forward without proving their business model first.

Let’s build a plan based on solid market data and positive test results. Then we can scale the company or product for success.

Marketing

In a world competing for consumers’ attention, how do you make your product stand out from the rest?

It’s all about the “story” you tell, and I’ve spent two decades in Hollywood, where story is king. I help you focus your product story into compelling presentations that engage clearly defined audiences.

I show you how to create direct-to-consumer campaigns as well as channel partner programs through value-added resellers, corporate resellers, and partnerships.

Business Development

Partnering is one of the quickest ways to success. Standing on other companies’ shoulders can put your company above your competitors.

Sometimes it is not what you know, it’s who you know — and knowing which relationships are actually win-win.

I help you find the right companies for genuine strategic partnerships that lead to large sales with minimum effort.

Sales

When the right idea has the right marketing plan aimed at the right audience, sales are a lot easier.

But long-term success requires adapting to trends, adding value, and reducing costs where possible.

Always survey what’s working and what’s not. Are you selling the right product at the wrong time, or with the wrong approach?

I help you self-examine for effective change.

Grow your brand.

Let's build a
win-win.
