online strategy is critical because the new media landscape is constantly evolving with new technologies and channels emerging all the time. Our key role for clients is to advise and keep them abreast (and ideally ahead) of the curve in a continually evolving and developing online landscape. At the heart of that advice are strategic and tactical recommendations that drive trafďŹ c and new customers to clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; web sites through a targeted mix of online communications including social media, PR, micro sites, viral activity and much more besides.

Social Media PR

social media and pr Communications PR used to be about sending out a press release to targeted media publications hoping they would publish an article based on the release; then hoping that readers of the publication would see it. Social networking media has changed the game for ever with individuals being selective over not just what they want to see/hear but who they trust/want to see/hear that from. In the social arena the consumer is now in control and they are on the look out for what they want to hear not what companies want to tell them.

We help clients tap into online conversations relevant to their brand, products, competitors and sector. Using social media monitoring systems we help clients understand not just the topics being discussed (and the volume of discussion) but more importantly any underlying issues, views or sentiments (both positive and negative), the inďŹ&#x201A;uencers driving those conversations are feeding through - and critically how that information should shape subsequent marketing strategy.

Remember your BRAND is what your customers say it is Only by listening in and participating in real conversations can we understand the true sentiments of the market. The viral nature of social media means that clients incorporating it into a balanced integrated marketing strategy get true feedback - fast; and are able to immediately react to threats or opportunities.

Branding

Building Brilliant Brands Building Brilliant Brands is more than convincing your audience to choose you over the competition; it’s about getting them to see you as the only one that provides a solution to their need. WDA’s brand consultancy services broadly involves:

Brand Positioning (where the brand sits within its market) Brand Positioning deﬁnes the brand’s points of differentiation within its competitive environment. Positioning is about identifying or creating an empty ‘slot’ within your market; then laying claim to and owning it in customers minds. The objective is that your audience clearly understands why they should choose your brand over the competition - and ideally that they believe there is no alternative. Brand Identity (how the brand is communicated to the target audience)

The Brand Platform deﬁnes a foundation and rationale for the brand becoming the blueprint for every subsequent brand building activity. The platform should deﬁne brand vision, differentiation, promise and personality.

In today’s crowded marketplace choosing the right name is critical. We’ll help you choose a memorable name that connects with your customers (and is available). Then we’ll establish the visual identity, which usually starts with a logo - the icon of the brand. Brand identity will ensure immediate recognition through visual elements such as font, colour and graphical elements and layouts.

Brand Messaging (how the core values are communicated)

Brand Protection (brand integrity and IP)

A messaging framework adapted for all brand stakeholders whether employees, investors, partners or customers. Messaging consists value proposition, reasons to believe, and evidence to support each message.

For consistency WDA can create brand guidelines ensuring uniform representation globally, and allowing other agencies or even inhouse artworkers to create marketing collateral ‘on brand’. We can also register your trademark to add value and give legal protection against infringements (passing off).

Brand Platform (core values of the brand)

Brand Architecture (relationship with other brands) The relationship between master brands and sub-brands is critical and can become complicated and confusing if not correctly created and managed. WDA organise existing and future brands so that a clear structure is in place to establishes the relationships.

ROI return on idea

Return on idea An approach unique to WDA

Great Ideas drive the Worlds biggest businesses and most successful brands. Smart brands understand that a great idea is the single most valuable asset it can own. So at WDA we a) Sell them, and b) encourage clients to adopt them!

Buy the Idea Why do we offer clients the option to buy ideas? Because often we have a great idea for a brand who cannot commission WDA. Maybe because they are contracted to using agencies from a roster. Maybe because they have an in-house department. Perhaps they just have a great working relationship with an existing supplier. So we simply sell the IP rights for the concept. Then we leave the execution to the client.

Share the risk So what about the ‘return’ part of ROI? Well WDA is big on measurements and results, and our ROI process is also about sharing risk and reward with our clients. The process involves agreeing KPIs for your campaign, then reducing our fee (reducing risk to you) in return for the same % ‘reward’ should we exceed target!
