What Do We Do?
Straight Edge partner with their clients to develop innovative and cost-effective marketing and brand strategy. Our core objective is to help our clients create solutions that out-think their competitors, rather than out-spend them.
We prefer to work on a retainer basis with our clients over periods of 12 months onward, coming into the business on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. Our rates start at $160 per hour plus GST and lower based on length of contract and frequency of engagement.
The four core areas we concentrate on to achieve these objectives are:
- Competitor & Consumer Analysis
- Identify and understand target market
- Analyse and monitor competitor activity
- Strategic Brand Planning
- Understand what goals we want the business to achieve
- Create a marketing, branding and advertising plan to achieve those goals
- Utilise all available communication channels
- Tactical Executions
- Implement our plans over an agreed time-line and ensure all aspects of that plan are fully integrated – at this stage we may work closer with other agencies or support staff within your organisation
- Review, Report & Reflect
- Regular reviewing is absolutely vital to ensure we’re achieving the targets
- Deliver reports on the effectiveness of the plans
- Adjust where necessary
Some of the areas we concentrate in include the web, creative, direct marketing, social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc), mobile marketing and Experiential marketing.
We are also introducing a new part of our business ‘Innovation Consultancy‘. Check that out if you’re looking for more radical solutions to your business problems.
