Media Release: Permission wins Sidchrome account

Catriona Pollard - Friday, November 26, 2010
Digital relationship marketing agency Permission has had a significant new business win with Sidchrome, a market leading tools brand and will implement a digital marketing, social media and email marketing strategy for its new client.

Sidchrome, a part of the global giant Stanley Black and Decker, have appointed Permission to build their customer database through a range of traditional and digital marketing strategies, including an exciting social media campaign.

Managing Director of Permission, Jeremy Glass welcomes their new client and the exciting challenges they offer the Permission team.

“We’re really enthusiastic about working with Sidchrome,” Mr Glass said.

“Essentially we’re working at increasing their customer database, and we’re thrilled to be offering Sidchrome their first experience with social media marketing, using YouTube videos, Facebook and CPA affiliate programs to raise interest in the brand and assist with database acquisitions.”

Ben Hall, Brand Manager at Sidchrome is genuinely excited about the strategies being put into place by Permission, “We attended the Online Retailer expo and we were looking for a business that dealt with database acquisition,” Mr Hall said.

“We found a few businesses and when Permission pitched they had some really interesting methods of building the database including using social media like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and we hadn’t really considered that before.”

Permission’s initial strategy with Sidchrome includes the “Truckloads of Tools” competition that involves driving Sidchrome’s target audience of young mechanics to a website to register their details for a chance to win major prizes.

Mr Hall said, “Our aim is to make sure that our brand message is very clear at a consumer level. We have always focused on the dealership and while we still wanted a direct line to the dealers we also want to directly tell our story to consumers.”

Permission’s digital strategies will work towards this objective.

Media Release: Permission Wins Two New Accounts-Thai Airways International, Australia and ActionAid

Catriona Pollard - Tuesday, September 07, 2010

Digital relationship marketing agency Permission has experienced significant success recently, being appointed to manage digital marketing campaigns for new clients Thai Airways International, Australia and ActionAid.

The projects require Permission to implement key strategic marketing programs including a database acquisition and digital marketing strategy for ActionAid and a social media and database marketing campaign for Thai Airways International, Australia.

Managing Director of Permission, Jeremy Glass is enthusiastic about the two new projects they are taking on and the range of work that will be involved.

He explained the Thai Airways International, Australia appointment is specifically aimed at lifting THAI’s Frequent Flyer program, Royal Orchid Plus through a digital engagement strategy that incorporates a social networking approach.

“Thai Airways International is a well known brand we’re really excited to be working with, we’ll be helping to increase sales through a variety of marketing strategies,” Mr Glass said.

“Our work with THAI involves a combination of both online and offline marketing strategies including website design and development, a traveller’s blog, online promotions, database acquisition and email marketing.”

The campaign’s objective is to help increase awareness of THAI’s products and promotional deals to its Australian membership and increase seat sales from Australia to Thailand and other destinations across THAI’s international network.

Commenting on their second recent client win, Mr Glass expressed how happy Permission is to be working with ActionAid Australia, a rights based agency, campaigning to end poverty. Mr Glass said “We’re really proud to work with an organisation that is making a real difference to the lives of those who need it.”

Helen Wright, General Manager of Fundraising and Communications for ActionAid stated it was Permission’s skills and digital relationship marketing knowledge that stood them apart from competition.

“ActionAid chose to work with Permission because we were looking for an agency that can deliver a Digital Marketing Strategy and Permission impressed us with their expertise, in-depth knowledge and track record in acquisition and retention of customers.  We are looking forward to working with Permission on this project,” Ms Wright said.
The objective of Permission’s digital marketing strategy with ActionAid is to help recruit new financial supporters for the anti-poverty agency.
