HERE’S WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH US

“Simone is a rare breed of agency leader, possessing a unique blend of qualities that make her a genuine thought leader in the industry. Her passion for innovation in communications and idea generation has been apparent to me since first working together to build Saatchi & Saatchi Australia’s Digital practice back in the year 2000. I’ve always been impressed by Simone’s desire to challenge convention and seek out ways to make the role of marketing and communications accountable for driving real and compelling benefits to clients as well as being a force for positive change within society.”

 

ZEYAD DAVIDS

“Simone created the AtheletsVoice brand strategy, delivering exceptional work that has resonated strongly with our stakeholders; sportspeople, sports fans and brands, in fact, it was Simone’s approach that made the biggest impact on our launch success. From day one, Simone engaged the entire team to work through our vision & purpose – the outcome of this was a collective belief in our brand values and attributes which gave our team confidence in going to market with a very real and clearly articulated value proposition.”

OUR THINKING

Start with a big, audacious and inspirational Vision for your company. Vision is by far your most sustainable advantage. It gives your team the clarity to act and the passion to soldier on in difficult times. It gives your investors confidence you know what you’re doing. It helps your customers believe you’re a long-term player. And, importantly, it gives you a lens to keep track of your progress and report your achievements.

OUR THINKING

Brand is unquestionably a powerful business tool for any company. Brands have intrinsic value and a quick look at the numbers in the latest Interbrand report confirms it. In 2001 the cumulative brand value residing in the world’s top 100 brands was $988 billion. Today, that value stands at $2.13 trillion— representing a 4.4 per cent average CAGR (compound annual growth rate) and more than a 2.1 times increase in total value. These figures behind The Best Global Brands report tell a clear story: in such a fluid market landscape, investing in brand is key to long-term success.
