ICON has recently been named as a preferred supplier by the Local Government Procurement (LGP), which is an integrated procurement management organisation operating under the Local Government of NSW (LGNSW), for Media Planning, Buying & Monitoring, Advertising & Digital Services - Campaign & Non-Campaign, Photography & Videography Services, Printing & Marketing Material.

LGP is a business arm of LGNSW, the membership association for all councils in NSW. Established in 2006, LGP focuses on creating procurement efficiencies and building procurement expertise, saving councils time and money.

The LGP allows local councils to access the best products from a panel of suppliers, without the need to conduct formal tenders on a project by project basis. Becoming a member is no easy task and selection requires meeting stringent criteria involving product, quality, customer service, and pricing.

“We are very excited about partnering with the LGP,” says Joe Papadatos, Managing Director of ICON. “We’ve worked hard to pitch our services and orient our business towards adding value and efficiency to local council operations. We are confident that our services provide outstanding performance for small to large scale jobs for media, advertising & creative services.

“We’re located in the south west region of Sydney, which places us in a great location to service Councils in the greater west. However, we can work with Councils all over Sydney and the state of NSW.

“One of the aims of the LGP is to forge strong relationships with LGP Approved Contractors. These relationships are not just legal via a contract, but they also form strong working relationships where there are common goals and mutual benefits for both sides. Being appointed to an LGP panel and having approved contractor status is highly sought after, so we’re really honoured,” added Papadatos.

What is paid, earned, shared and owned media?

By Erica Williams • February 8, 2023

Media is complex. Much more than it used to be. Since the dawn of the internet and rise of social media, the number of media options has exploded. For a marketing manager, they are like pieces of a puzzle, interconnecting and working together. So, how does a marketing manager make the pieces form a nice, big, beautiful picture, to successfully stand out not only amongst the competition but above the vast array of media noise? American digital marketing expert, Gini Dietrich, identified four types of media: Paid, Earned, Shared and Owned. She called it the PESO model . Here we look at the four types of media. We describe and analyse each one and discuss how they all fit together.

Icon celebrates 20 years in business

When we launched in 2003, the trend in agencies was to provide a specialist service, like creative or media buying. But we saw the opportunity to offer full-service marketing to our clients, taking the pain away from managing multiple agencies with multiple processes. We’ve chosen to continue to base ourselves in the Macarthur region, moving to Campbelltown in our current office nearly six years ago. This has enabled us to build strong working relationships with many companies in our region including property developers, builders, manufacturers, local Councils, venues, and many more. We’ve also worked with loads of companies outside the region which is becoming so much easier with the aid of technology. We’re not just suppliers, but genuine business partners. I’d like to thank the many clients I’ve worked alongside in the past 20 years and look forward to continuing many of those relationships.
