Strategy


When planning for any budget cycle the mix of spend and execution all need to fit in with a fundamental central brand strategy. Generally when facing a brief for a tactical marketing need, the Habari Direct team combines the brands existing strategy with the immediate business requirements. This allows the brand to achieve short term needs while not straying from the central brand strategy and diluting the brand promise.

In other instances, the Habari Direct team is brought in earlier in the process and forms part of the strategic process, either running the brand strategy or working with existing stakeholders to define that plan.

Masters of multiple channels…

Masters of multiple channels… Habari direct often touts itself as the “master of multiple channels”. We define this in our ability to execute a campaign on the back of many different platforms. Our case studies (link to case studies page) showcase a few varied implementations, with a wide variety of promotional mechanics being implemented, from in-store to print to web and mobile.

Logistics Management


Not the sexy side of marketing and advertising, but quite possibly the most important. In every activity and promotion run by a brand, there are invariable logistical implications that need to be managed to ensure the smooth execution of the activity.

In most cases neither traditional advertising agencies nor the brand office, have the resources in place to handle the logistics – and as such this is often shared and managed grudgingly and with difficulty. Habari Direct recognized this early in the company lifecycle and so invested in teams no traditionally found in an agency.

From our Personal Assistant team, to our Partners team – we have the people, software and systems in place to take away the headache that often comes with fulfilling on brand activity. A few of the tasks run by these teams include; Customer help lines, prize fulfillment, in-store display set-up and management.
