June 15, 2015

When formulating your marketing messages, it is essential to be clear, concise and thoughtful to whom you are talking to make the most impact from every communication.

If you try to use each communication or advertisement to be all things to all people by providing too much information, in a complicated and confused way, odds are your message will get lost and any action you were trying to encourage and promote will fail.

Each time you are putting together a social media post, an advertisement, a newsletter, think about three things:

  1. Who are you talking to?
  2. What do you want them to know?
  3. What do you want them to do?

Answering these three simple questions will make sure you are single minded in your approach. The clear advantage of being clear and concise is that people know what is expected of them and be more likely to complete an action.

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

By Joe Papadatos • February 5, 2023
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.
