As digital marketing specialists; we are experts at studying your client base and establishing the best course of action for seeking them out, and turning them into engaged customers.

We know that ultimately, you want to see a positive return on your investment. Our digital marketing initiatives are KPI-focused and data-driven, meaning that we will ensure measurable targets are based on achieving your ultimate goals.

We take a 4 pronged approach to strategy building with our clients.

  • Asses – your previous strategy, current brief, goals and objectives.
  • Plan & Research – your target market, current market conditions and future trends.
  • Create – a strategy that meets your needs, to be approved by you.
  • Execute – by putting the plan’s ‘wheels’ in motion, including interactive dashboards so you can see our progress every step of the way.

Our Approach:

Our team will work with you to develop a thorough understanding of your target buyers, and determine the most effective channels to advertise your services on. We are able to create an end-to-end strategy that we can also implement for you, or we can advise you at specific parts of your advertising journey according to your needs. By getting to know your buyers, we build audiences that match the exact profiles of the clients you want to work with! We use behavioural targeting to create brand awareness; ensuring your brand reaches qualified prospects at exactly the right time!

We don’t believe in flooding you with acronyms or vague terms that you can’t see translating into your daily activities. You already have enough on your plate, so a marketing strategy powered by Patch is one less thing for you to worry about!

Monitoring and optimising for best performance

Your target market is influenced by an unlimited number of factors. It means the best approach now, may not be the best approach in the future. Everything from consumer confidence to the publics’ preference to interact with certain challenges, images, colours, or words will impact how consumers engage (or don’t) with different messages, mediums, brands, products, and services.

We provide an online performance dashboard that will bring all marketing performance data into one place alongside your website’s analytics.

The performance dashboard will become the centre of regular meetings with your account manager as it’s used to review performance and share learnings between teams.

Services

Event Planners look for event services in a variety of ways. Ensuring you are on the most relevant listings, and that they are optimised correctly is essential for lead generation. Managing that process on an ongoing basis is a full-time job!

Our experts can handle your listings so you don’t have to – creating and updating copy & imagery, and monitoring leads. We can also analyse your existing listings and make recommendations for improvement. Our copywriting and content team will work with you to define a strategy that works for you – they are awesome at using the power of words and visuals to draw in potential clients.

Getting your services out there can be time-consuming. We take the leg work out of the process by finding the best websites and publications that are of interest to a client’s target audience – saving you time in finding the most effective ad space. Understanding your audience is vital to maximizing the use of your budget for media buying – we provide a full media buying service; including everything from channel research and recommendation based on target markets and their buyer journeys to negotiation, bookings, management and performance reviews.

Our media buying process looks like this : We do all the channel research, make contact with the relevant media channels on your behalf, make your bookings and send over deadlines (providing specifications and contacts for any design work); then we provide you with performance reviews to show your return on investment.

We also provide our clients with a channel management service – where we ensure all of your listings are up to date and optimized in accordance with your current activity and promotions – enabling you to get on with business as usual!

E-mail marketing is a great way to reach new audiences, and improve conversions. It also serves as a great way to re-engage your existing client base – keeping your services at the forefront of planners’ minds.

Our approach to e-mail marketing doesn’t include any overly eager, annoying sales messaging or ‘spammy’ practices that will end up with your e-mails in your client’s junk or unsubscribe list. Our team will create an e-mail marketing strategy that keeps your target audience interested in your services, leading to new and repeat business.
