Why your marketing activities, and agencies can’t afford to be siloed!

August 25, 2017

Once upon a time, like five years ago, you had agencies – yes, plural. You had an ad buying agency who bought your traditional print, TV and radio media; an advertising creative agency, who would develop concepts and design; a PR agency, perhaps a marketing collateral agency, a website agency and maybe an SEO company.

Your day was most likely filled by managing agency briefs, checking their work, checking it against each other for integration, checking it against your internal marketing objectives. Managing the agencies was a job unto itself.
Every agency since the golden days of advertising have lauded integration as the key, however, very few could deliver thanks to their siloed practices and processes. Full service agencies were only full service within those siloes – full service advertising, full service digital – never truly able to act as your one-stop outsourced marketing team.

Icon Visual Marketing have been a full-service Sydney marketing agency since the beginning. Integrating new marketing tools and mediums along the journey to ensure we can continue to deliver on marketing strategies, and programs, regardless of the activities required to achieve the objectives.

That is how we have grown our business now to over 50 professionals with a range of backgrounds and skills all working together to deliver integrated marketing strategies and programs. We don’t silo any of our teams. Sure we may have some walls, but their only purpose is to hold up the ceiling and be something we can pin ideas to and map out strategies. Most of our time is working collaboratively in open spaced communal areas, or the privacy of our boardrooms brainstorming and think-tank sessions.

Contact Icon Visual Marketing today if you prefer working with one agency, and a team who communicate, not through you, but to each other. An agency who can manage your marketing programs from under one roof, as an integrated and collaborative team.

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.

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.
