a creative agency that’s up frontabout the things that really matter?

uh-oh - it's about 'marketing' - are we losing you?You don't think anyone can make more of your budgets / do better than your current agency / understand your industry do you? Go on, humour us... 21 slides and that’s it.

first, let’s take a look at the role of a marketer (or the one who’s responsible for marketing)...

the traditional approach

most organisations need one or a combination of:

• marketing: you work with a marketing agency

• advertising: you work with an advertising agency

• design: you work with a design agency

• pr: you work with a pr agency

so, with that in mind, how do these help you?

let’s take a look...

let’s follow the path of just one project to see whether the traditional approach saves you time, stress or money:

want to do this in person?call Miranda: 01793 250542

startinternal planning

collate/write copy

collate imagery

issue brief to agencies

organise and attend

pitches

nominate chosen agency

sign offproof read

co-ordinate approvals

final designs

approved

liaise with all parties

until...

co-ordinate feedback

send to colleagues

first draft visuals

agency briefing

manage production

process

key:★ you

★ agency

★ both responsible

based on producing one brochure…

end(are you tired?)

so, the traditional way…

• of the 15 parts of just one project, you are involved in 13

• of the 15 parts, both you and your agency are jointly involved in 2

• of the 15 parts to this project, your agency is solely responsible for 2

now multiply that by the number of projects you have on the go, and by the number of different media that you are involved in...

wow! you’re busy...

so, the traditional way…

in a typical client/agency relationship, most responsibilities fall on the client’s shoulders

the result will no doubt be what you wanted, you benefit from the agency’s creative expertise and their industry contacts but you still have to put in *large* amounts of time and effort

there is another way...

the wow! solution:we believe in partnership working

want to do this in person?call Miranda: 01793 250542

oh yeah, everyone talks about ‘partnerships’... what exactly does that mean?

© wow! Creative Services Ltd 2010 // www.wowcreative.co.uk

so what’s different?

we work in partnership with you – a *real* partnership.

• we only work with a select number of clients; those that we know we can help

we work with you at the early stages of a project to:

• explore ways in which your projects can be funded – look at ways your marketing can be hugely effective in spite of budget cutbacks

• ensure that your budgets are maximised – giving you more bang for your buck

so, if you’re still on board, lets tell you a bit more about our approach...

the wow! solution

real partnership working:

• as partners a lot more can be achieved: we can be proactive instead of reactive

• we get to know you and your business: so we understand each other and less time is taken on background issues – we can hit the ground running

the wow! solution

real partnership working:

• we know your overall aims and objectives and can make sure everything is in line with this – the big picture – not just focusing on a single project

• we look beneath the surface: marketing isn't just about the end product – it encompasses every aspect of your business. It works from the inside out

• we’re constantly looking for new opportunities for your business

the wow! solution

we offer you an expandable/contractible team

• sometimes you need a larger team – more pairs of hands – but taking on extra staff means financial commitment

• wow! are an extension to your team when you need it. we’ll keep up-to-date with you so that we’re always on the ball

• if you need to reduce your team the impact of redundancies needn't get in the way of progress

the wow! solution

we challenge you in order to offer you new ways of thinking:

• we embrace every media type: traditional media; new media; social media – keeping you ahead of the game and producing campaigns that are the most appropriate for the results you need

• when you think you need a brochure, we’ll think about your aims and objectives: a brief to us is always a challenge to find the best route to market

the wow! solution

we explore avenues that you may not have considered:

• we’ll suggest ways in which you could fund initiatives and promotions – we’ll look for alternatives to your own budget

• we bring experience across a whole host of industries to your team, with specific expertise for specific projects, providing alternative ideas to your usual marketing approach
