To be an effective and relevant marketing consultancy, an agency needs to evolve, it needs to stay relevant and it needs to do that and be effective and focused too, says the team at Active DMC. The need for Active was to continue on the journey of evolution from a public relations consultancy to a fully-fledged marketing consultancy, offering digital services alongside traditional services. For Active DMC the current landscape it’s about content creation, packaging and distribution, it is about being targeted as well as relevant and it is about being able to achieve real results through measurable means.
“Covid provided us with a pause, a pause that we at Active DMC used to effectively refresh the Agency and the most essential part of that was – the people – to have a team that was fresh yet experienced, young yet responsible, passionate yet structured and combine that with new team members with wider skillsets to extend the range of services we offer now,” said Sawsan Ghanem Joint Managing Partner Active Digital Marketing Communications. So for us, this team has revitalized us and has made us even more dynamic and driven and we love that! Our Clients are too!
Active DMC has won three new clients, proving their point, in the last four weeks and is signing another starting November – all multinationals. Budgets have been increased across two existing clients due to the added services and there are three digital and social media focused clients.
