With the new financial year here and a new marketing budget for 2016/17, knowing where to allocate your budget, even if it is limited, will set you in good position for success for the coming 12 months.

The best way to choose where to allocate your marketing budget is to first develop your marketing strategy . Your marketing strategy includes reviewing previous campaigns and programs to see what has worked previously and what has delivered the best ROI as well as investigating new marketing tactics that perhaps haven’t been used before.

Planning your marketing strategy and tactics for the new financial year is key to developing a clear marketing plan that will set your marketing in the right direction .

Taking the time to look at your own business instead of just your clients can be a challenge, but the insights you’ll gain will be invaluable to help your business grow.

No one knows your business better than you. Often you are so intrinsically involved in every aspect of your business, you simply don’t have the time to sit back and really think top line about your business.
Icon have developed a Strategic Marketing Workshop process that has proven effective for hundreds of clients to help set them on the right marketing direction. Going through the process during a strategic marketing workshop ensures that we are focusing on the core values that make up your business and why customers are buying from you. After setting your marketing strategy, Icon work with you and your marketing budget to set a realistic and detailed marketing plan.

Give us two hours of your time and we will work with you to get to the heart of your business.

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.

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.
