WHY
Generations ago, the commercial messages intended for consumers ears came in highly concentrated, reliable form. There were three TV networks, AM radio only, a handful of big-circulation national magazines and each towns daily papers, which everyone read. Big brand-name goods were advertised in those media, and the message got through loud, clear, and dependably. Today, we are nearing 100 cable TV channels, and we have remote controls and VCRs to allow us to skip all the ads if we choose to. Theres FM radio now, a plethora of magazines catering to each special interest, a World Wide Web of infinitely expanding sites we can visit for information and entertainment and a shrinking base of daily newspaper readers, all of which means it is harder than ever to reach consumers and convince them tobuy anything at all. Simultaneously, we are witnessing the erosion of influence of brand names. Not that brands dont have value, but that value is not the blind force it used to be. A generation or two ago, you chose your brands early in life and stuck by them loyally until your last shopping trip. If you were a Holden man, you bought Holdens. If you were a Marlboro man, you smoked Marlboros. Today, in some ways and particularly with youth, every decision is a new one, and nothing can be taken for granted.That means that while branding and traditional advertising build brand awareness and purchase predisposition, those factors do not always translate into sales. The standard tools of marketing work, they just dont work anywhere near as well as they used to. Young consumers today are far more sophisticated and demanding. As a result, companies must be able to move with this shift in consumer behaviour and consider alternative communications solutions to achieve the necessary cut-through that distinguishes them and places their brand top of mind. At Upfront Concepts, we pride ourselves on our ability to fill that gap and provide unconventional, unique, and distinctive communications solutions at a fraction of the cost.Whilst companies continue with traditional means of advertising, young consumers are moving in the opposite direction, resisting the blatant recruitment strategies employed. Young consumers are more knowledgeable about their products, far more driven by fashions/image and have less time to filter through a multitude of messages. With more noise in the marketplace than ever before and an increasing tendency for young consumers to ignore mainstream messages, it is critical that companies seek strategies that are timely, relevant, and ultimately engage the target in way they are accustomed. Direct marketing is key. With Generation Y representing the biggest consumer bracket in the world, one of Upfront Concepts key distinctions is its ability to talk to this market through relevant and memorable communications. Wary of big corporations cashing in on their territory, Upfront Concepts can help your company break through this psyche and deliver the given product / brand to the target in the most appropriate manner. Direct Marketing is a key ingredient in engaging your target market. Where traditional forms of advertising fall down, a good promotional campaign is able to reinforce media already seen by the target market and ensure you get the necessary returns on mainstream spends. Upfront Concepts produces above and below the line campaigns aimed at opinion leaders and referral word of mouth. With the amount of clutter in traditional marketing mediums, relevant promotions with the right mix can yield greater benefits for top of mind and brand awareness. Its an insight, a thought, a solution so simple, you just know its right. It may even leave you wondering why you didnt think of it before. Its not advertising or design or PR or online. Its all that and more. Integrated. Uncomplicated. Its just a single idea, after all. Upfront Concepts moves quickly, unencumbered by old-school thinking. On the TV, over the web, plastered across a building or held in your hand, it travels seamlessly across all. Forever communicating its message innew and unexpected ways.UPFRONT CONCEPTS PTY LTD
