Our Approach
Integrated Communications Management.
In a world growing more complex, offering ever more technologies and platforms, clearer communications are now key to effective marketing.
Our way of ensuring clarity is our ICM framework. Core to our business, it provides a data-led logical structure for analyzing communications in a multi-channel environment.
The logic allows us to identify points of marketing opportunity. Our analysis, supported by our informed intuition, helps us identify the actions we need to take to realize such opportunities.
Or put another way, we have more ways to help businesses sell more of what they do, to more people, more profitably.
1 Information
A sale, an enquiry, a tweet or a registration generate information. We help marketers clean and optimize this data.
We create a single view of all our client’s customers and prospects and their interaction across all touch points. Storing and maintaining this information in the most timely, suitable, up to date and relevant way. Allowing clients to extract maximum value from it.
3 Insight
Examining data with our analytics expertise provides new ways to look at behavior, preferences and attitudes. Enriching segmentation and giving a sharper focus on targeting and defining customer channels.
4 Strategy
Equipped with insight, we devise the right strategy to deliver the right messages, through the right channels, at the right time and place.
5 Creative
Strategy also directs our creative approach, ensuring we create compelling messages that best fit the chosen channels.
6 Prospects and Customers
Using our insight, we define the exact audience according to behavior, attitudes and profiles and direct relevant messages to them.
