About
Hi There, my name is Jonnie Allan, a.k.a. The Local Online Marketing Guy. As an Online Marketing Consultant, Social Media Marketing Manager and SEO expert in the Tucson, AZ area I have had the privilege of working with some of the biggest industries in several states that include some names you may recognize: Allstate Insurance, Long Realty and General Power to name just a few. I have provided my services and expertise to the benefit of many, many businesses from the restaurant industry to Doggie Day Care allowing some of them to keep their doors open while their competition has had to close.
One thing that has always fascinated me is marketing. Whenever I come across something I have never heard 
of I would think to myself, “How would I market that?” Sadly, all too often I see many businesses – especially the small, local “Mom and Pop” type – spending their hard earned resources on old school marketing mediums that no longer deliver the same returns they did just a short time ago. Television – people have TiVO; Radio – most people are on the phone (Yikes!); and when was the last time you reached for a phone book?
Just a bit of background: I have been working in the online marketing world since 2005. At the time I was a comic book creator and independent Publisher looking for a way to compete with the larger publishers that had Brand Awareness and unlimited budgets. As with most small businesses, my marketing budget was minimal to non-existant. Recognizing early on the potential to Brand myself and my company through online marketing methods I began the process of taking an unknown property The Miscellaneous Adventures of STYKMAN™ to one of the most successful and recognizable characters in the comic book industry – all on a shoestring budget.
Naturally this led to many fellow publishers coming to me asking me to help them duplicate my results for their companies respectively – including a conversation with one of the largest publishers seeking out my expertise. As word began to spread more companies outside of the comic book industry began looking to me as the “go-to” guy regarding guerilla marketing tactics and online marketing methods. Quite often I was referred to as “the online guy,”"the web marketing guy” or “The online marketing guy.” Thus the name, “The Local Online Marketing Guy.” In other words, it came from my clients. Pretty cool.
I am a recognized speaker and workshop leader in the online marketing and social media fields providing online marketing, social media management, direct response and Mobile Marketing workshops across the country. I have made my reputation on providing the most targeted and relevant online marketing services available; from Direct Response email marketing to moving my clients in 2010 to the mobile marketing platform providing mobile optimized websites, SMS text messaging campaigns and Mobile coupons.
As I stated earlier, marketing has always fascinated me. The most intriguing facet of both the online and mobile arenas is how fast they change. My staff and I pride ourselves on staying on top of the ever-changing virtual landscape and passing that information on to my clients; Couple that with exclusivity and customer service and you have a good image of what I stand for.
