Get this project sorted - partner with The Brand Shop to execute a marketing project and get a fast and clear outcome.
Sometimes what starts as a simple idea, quickly becomes something far from what it once was. But it’s just a website right? The challenge for businesses is to remember that the marketing outcome is never the goal, the goal is the goal!
Having a new website built or running an advertising campaign isn’t the end - those marketing activities are the tools that are used to help the business get closer to it’s goals.
When you think about undertaking a new marketing project - consider what you’re trying to achieve through it, then think about what the marketing activity has to be, and have, in order to help you get there. It may be that you don’t actually need a new website, or more Facebook posts, but in fact need something else to capture the traffic you’re already experiencing.
Marketing agencies have a habit of operating in the clouds - all Chief, no Indian. While specialists, like a web designer or video production company, can occasionally take things in a different direction than intended - woah up cowboy! Working with The Brand Shop gives you an advantage, because we're able to achieve a high standard of work with our in-house team, while maintaining the context of the wider marketing goals - because we helped set them.
Don’t let one-off marketing projects add to your work-load and slow you down. Plan great outcomes with The Brand Shop that take your marketing forward and help your business grow.
How does The Brand Shop differ from other Agencies? Why should I choose you?
The Brand Shop differs from other agencies in several ways.
1) We believe that a successful marketing project can only be undertaken when:
2) We have an internal media team, which allows us to create exceptional content for use in your project, allowing you to really stand out from your competition.
3) We don’t charge you based on hours, we charge based on outcomes, which means that we will never issue you a variation to finish your project if it takes longer than originally planned.
How do we operate? We allocate points to deliverables. Our marketing projects then incorporate a ‘points quota’ and we sign off on the project deliverables (irrespective of how long they take).
Does it mean a project never runs overtime when we had planned to complete it in a month, No. Sometimes bad weather, illness, being too busy, or waiting on an external party will delay delivery (you might have been supposed to have a video interview filmed with us but couldn’t get out of the office for 2 hours because you were flat out all month). But what it does mean is that we will never charge you more because it took longer than we had originally planned.
What services can The Brand Shop deliver in house for their projects (strategy/content creation/copywriting/web dev etc)?
Our marketing project clients have access to any of the following services:
What is the benefit of using an external marketing agency?
An external marketing agency allows you to access individual specialist skill sets (designers, developers, marketers, videographers, photographers, email and ads specialists) without having to hire for each individual position and in a way whereby you can skew the use of a particular skill set on a weekly or monthly basis to your specific needs.
Can you work in conjunction with my internal marketing manager/team?
We most definitely can. Great communication and planning are the key to The Brand Shop managing a successful marketing project with your internal marketing team.
What sort of size marketing projects do you undertake? Can you help with small design tasks etc or do you only do larger projects?
There really are no projects too big or small. For example we can action a quick rebrand or branding for a new business or a year long, video production project that involves multiple monthly shoots and travel throughout Southern Queensland.
How quickly can The Brand Shop kick off a project and what are your turnaround times like?
Generally we can onboard a project within 1-2 weeks. As to the turnaround time, it really depends on the intricacies of the project and the current workload of the key staff that would be required to work on your project. If you have a project that is of a time sensitive nature, reach out for a complimentary discovery call to discuss your needs and our availability.
What web platforms do you build and manage websites on?
Primarily we use Webflow - it allows us significant development flexibility, but is also a simple platform for you, the client, to log onto and make your own updates.
For eCommerce websites we would generally use Shopify - it allows online businesses an exceptional opportunity to scale their business without the need to change platforms and is simple and user friendly for you, the client, to manage.That said, we’ve managed websites on other platforms like Wordpress and Squarespace. With the ability to utilise HTML and CSS, we’re well equipped to tackle a variety of platforms.
Do you have in-house graphic designers and web developers or do you use freelancers?
Our graphic designers and web developers are all in-house and based in our Toowoomba Office.
Do you have an in-house media team or do you outsource this work?
Our media team are all in-house and based in our Toowoomba Office. On the rare occasion that we do require extra media specialists for a large shoot, we have local specialists that we have worked with for a long time who assist us.
Do you offer Event Planning and Event Management?
At this stage, we don’t specifically offer event planning and event management as stand-alone services, however, where required, we do offer these as part of our marketing projects.
