The 20 Fastest-Growing Digital Ad Agencies in Perth

“Australians cut to the chase a lot, which in our industry is refreshing and there isn’t a lot of pomp and circumstance.”

‘Raw, Bold and Breakthrough’!

I have been a true blue fan of cricket since childhood and if there is one country that I look up to in this sport, it is Australia. It is the only team that have been carrying the heavy tag ‘invincible’ for more than two decades. Yes, they have a lot of players with exceptional talent and confidence . However, Australia is not all about just these players. Australia is about the indomitable and channelled aggression towards the right direction. Australia is about maintaining their composure in the most adverse situations. Australia is about not leaving even an inch for a mistake.

It is not only cricket, they are good in most of the games they play and I personally believe that it is not the quality of the sport that puts them on a different mantel, it is rather this attitude that puts them in a different zone. I have followed Australian cricket and Field Hockey and yet to see a match where I can say that the Aussie body language has ‘given up’, they never do, they fight till the very end and appear to believe till the very end that they can win.

Australians never shy away from taking bold risks and this is exactly why it is so interesting to know how Australian Ad Agencies tick and thrive!

So the legendary story starts something like this……In 2006, Marc Ecko comes to this agency for help reinforcing his brand’s graffiti heritage and street cred after several years of becoming increasingly mainstream. And what does this agency do?

They get a graffiti artist to tag the most outrageous place, Air Force One!

They staged a video of a group of artists doing just that. The video then “leaked” as breaking news, receiving 23 million unique views within the first two weeks of its release. It became one of the first successful viral ads and was reported on by more than 17,000 global news outlets. With a single two-minute video and zero media dollars spent, this agency created a sensation that caused the Pentagon to deny the video’s authenticity three times and reinvigorated the Ecko Unltd. brand!

The agency (only a month old at the time) risked possibly breaking the Patriot Act and being sent to jail if caught. Thankfully, the project was a success. Today it’s one of the most coveted agencies in the World! Yup Droga5!

I was reading case studies of Droga5 and the one thing that kept ringing in my mind was ….I’m T.N.T., I’m dynamite T.N.T., and I’ll win the fight, T.N.T., I’m a power load, T.N.T., watch me explode! 🙂 Gutsy, I would say!

Ask David Droga the secret of his success and he will tell you that it’s his ‘impatience to succeed’! To date, he is the single most-awarded creative at the Cannes International Advertising Festival and the only person ever to win ‘Agency of the Year’ in four different countries.

Secret to success in his own words:

• Strive to deliver on your own expectations and to exceed your client’s.
• The minute you feel content with what you’re doing, you’re in danger of becoming stagnant.
• Strive to make sure that everything you do for your existing clients builds their business, and builds your business.
• You don’t have to be the best businessman or manager in the world, but if you look after your people and focus on the work, you’ll succeed.

This perfectly embodies the Australian spirit of adventure and possibilities. Let’s start exploring this power load of a place, starting from Perth. Perth has been making significant waves in the digital marketing scene with amazing design and SEO breakthroughs.

Let’s look at what happened when City Subaru approached them,

The Challenge:

• To take City Subaru and make it the #1 Subaru Brand and Dealership in the state in under 12 months.
• Dilate identified that the reality was they needed to help Subaru sell more cars.
• Luckily for Subaru, this agency has had previous automotive experience and knew just how cars were sold, one at a time. So the folks at Dilate went to work!

The Process:

• In addition to building a fully responsive website, they crafted a robust SEO strategy in line with City Subaru’s service offering.
• A paid advertising strategy was then devised by creating a sales-driven landing pages for each specific product they offered.
• The next challenge was to build an aggressive paid advertising campaign which included search, display, social ads, remarketing, pre-roll just to name a few, they mixed intent and interruption and ensured the marketing was relevant to the user during each step of the buying cycle.
• In the first 12 months, they managed to build a customer database over 25,000 relevant people in Perth. They used this via SMS and Email marketing to communicate offers and sale
• Ben Sporn from Subaru was an imperative force who put together a progressive sales team that worked with Dilate to create the perfect digital strategy required to meet their objectives.

The Result:

• City Subaru made an informed and educated decision to cease print and radio spend and opt for a 100% digital presence due to the measurable ROI.
• They have been the #1 selling Subaru Dealer for the last 12 months standing, and also reached #3 in Australia, which is phenomenal due to the population density in the eastern states.

Success Secret:

Simple, it’s the people at Dilate. Their range of opinions and views create an engaging office environment, with a team of introverted coders to outgoing sales people. Everyone in the organization is empowered by the knowledge that they can make a huge impact- to not only clients but their own business direction.

Dilate places great emphasis on education and training. They’re already in the initial phases of partnering with one of the top Universities in Western Australia, for the opportunity to seek out and work with fresh, ambitious minds. They are also associated with several internship programs and in the future, they hope to further these interactive efforts with an ‘incubator’ shared work-space environment.

Team Dilate ensures maximum efficiency and ROI – all before a single dollar of your budget has been invested!

Experiment and collaborate. Be ambitious, exceed expectations.

Their values:

• Believe in Digital
• Speak Humaan
• Quality is king
• Be passionate
• Form with function
• Expect creativity
• Iterate and deliver

Architecture firm Cameron Chisholm Nicol asked Humaan to create a new online experience.

Built in 2010, the firm’s  website was intended for a market not yet overwhelmed by mobile devices and user experience awareness. Despite a robust information  architecture, key information was hidden by the static, minimalist approach to layout and navigation. The site was difficult to use in the browsers it was designed for – more so on a mobile phone or tablet.

The Challenge:

• To make it easy for visitors to find what they are looking for
• To encourage browsing
• To make better use of images

The Process:

• An analysis of the firm’s target market revealed a shortfall in brand perception due to potential clients being unable to find the information they needed.
• The team worked with the client to develop a clean and functional site that reflected their brand and delivered an engaging user experience.
• The project manager Mark responded quickly throughout the development and launch process.

The Result:

• The new design engages visitors with a tidy, sophisticated layout using high-resolution imagery and a simpler, more intuitive navigation structure.
• The site integrates responsive design practices to ensure an optimal user experience across a range of consumer devices.
• The result is a new direction  that focuses on engagement, reputation and a highly targeted user experience resulting in an online presence that cements their position as the industry leader.

At Humaan, everyone has something to bring to the table and quality is given the utmost importance. This approach has led to an impressive client roster. They’ve worked with clients such as Spacecube, Anston Architectural, Proteus, Dusk, Migrant Rights, Civmec and more. All the great work garnered them a total of seven Australian web awards last year.

5. Juicebox

JuiceBox is passionate about ensuring that everything we do has a strong strategic foundation.

“Everything starts with strategy. For us, it’s imperative to understand the why before we do the what.”

JuiceBox is a full-service agency. Here they bring brands to life with thoughtful design, quality print materials, innovative digital media and marketing strategies that are both relevant and interesting. They are design focused and believe that genuine relationships are the only way to do business.

As a full-service agency, this team has the facility to manage all brand, creative, website and marketing to ensure an engaging and effective brand experience.

Let’s look at the work Juicebox did with Vine Collective.  Think of it as a TripAdvisor meets Etsy in a wine specific context. It’s a wine tourism guide uncovering all of Western Australia’s wineries and wine regions. It’s a platform to review and share your winery experiences and find well-rounded reviews on wine. Additionally, it’s a place to purchase wines direct from virtual cellar doors that are managed by the wine producers themselves.

The Process:

• Wine is romantic and desirable. Creating a similar experience for people when using the website was one of the key design objectives.
• Vine Collective is an entirely web-based service, therefore JuiceBox felt it was critical to bring the brand into the real world through premium print products.
• Much like the website these were designed to be highly visual and simple to read, however every detail from paper stocks, speciality finishes, and production methods were considered. This approach was strategically aligned with the aspirational subject matter, wine.
• The approach of photographically representing the various wine regions is highly effective method inspired by the Neighbourhoods features of AirBNB. The agency sought to conjure vivid image of the regions in the minds of the users and take them to the places where grapes are grown and wine is made.

The Result:

• Through the use of large photography and thoughtfully applied branding, the website presents large amounts of information clearly and concisely. The beautifully designed website may look simple in appearance, but under the hood lies a powerful and sophisticated social network that is capable of handling significant volumes of traffic.

JuiceBox is also a great workplace with a very vibrant work culture. From cook-offs to outings to wineries, from birthdays to farewells – everything is a cause for celebration here. Making sure that all the employees have a good time seems to have worked for them. They’ve managed to get the attention of and work with clients such as Five Senses Coffee, UXC Eclipse, Cancer Council, Lumiere and many more.

Drug Aware was established in 1996 as part of a state framework of educational strategies designed to address illicit drug use among young people in Western Australia. The program aims to educate with factual, credible and accurate information so that young people can make informed decisions. They approached Brandagency to develop a three-year education campaign and engagement strategy focused on preventing and/or delaying the uptake of methamphetamine use and reducing harm associated with drug use.

The Process:

• The stories revealed one common thread that inspired the creative idea: one poor decision can set off a chain of events with terrible consequences. They wanted to deliver a key message: Methamphetamine use can impact your whole life.
• The campaign was developed in collaboration with the Methamphetamine Campaign Expert Advisory Group, made up of a number of experts in the area of illicit drug use to ensure all information presented was factual and accurate.

Their specialties include Brand and Marketing Strategy, Graphic Design, Digital Strategy and Execution, Web Design and Development, Social Media Strategy and Management and Print Management.

Let’s look at the work Trilogy did with their client Kleenheat. After almost 60 years of supplying bottled gas throughout regional Australia, Kleenheat began retailing natural gas in Western Australia to break a longstanding monopoly.

The Challenge:

• Gas is a low-engagement product. And just because Kleenheat has high awareness in the bottled gas market, it does not automatically translate to the natural gas market.

The Process:

• To stimulate sales and sign ups for natural gas and bottled gas, they created an integrated campaign that leveraged Kleenheat’s heritage as a proudly Australian-owned company. The campaign appeared across a range of traditional and digital channels including television, radio, press, online banners, Facebook and electronic direct mail.

11. BirdBrain

“We never ask our clients to sign SEO contracts. That’s unusual and important.”

Within each category sits BirdBrain’s distinct specialty services such as compelling lead generation and eCommerce website development, search engine optimisation, conversion rate optimisation, content marketing, and online advertising, just to name a handful.

Over the years Birdbrain has worked with innovators Floveyor to develop a strong brand that communicated their distinct values and personality. Effectively presenting this brand and the company’s technology and services required a combination of clear copy, strong visual messaging and technology that supported rather than distracted.

The Challenge:

• Western Australian innovators Floveyor are known for their ground-breaking aero-mechanical technology and their rich heritage dating back over 60 years. Together with their branding team, they were given the challenge of developing a website that not only demonstrated their history but provided the platform to support international expansion.

The Process:

• Floveyor focus on simplifying the material handling for their clients. It was important that Birdbrain communicate this value throughout the website experience.
• They developed a design that was minimal and clean with the use of space and an engaging UI. Subtle use of animation and rich imagery helps engage their audience and communicate a somewhat complex technology.
• The design was created for mobile devices via a carefully thought out responsive design. While the approach of mobile visitors is often different to desktop users, the requirement for an engaging and relevant experience is exactly the same.

The Result:

• In order to do the Floveyor story justice, they presented their product and service offering as a visual process on the website home page.
• This technique allows site visitors to get a quick overview of the business and drive the desire to seek more supporting information.
• The approach was far from superficial with Floveyor committing to a process of developing a body of information content that demonstrated their extensive knowledge and experience.
• As their SEO team continues to develop their local and international audience, they look forward to seeing the ongoing growth of a true local success story.

Birdbrain values simplicity. It keeps them honest and innovative. Their operation is lean, nimble and responsive and devoid of complexity and bloated processes. They won’t cut corners, even where no one would notice. They forge their own approach to quality and innovation, choosing not to be defined by industry norms.

The Challenge:

• Past unethical SEO techniques by a previous SEO company put Freedom Pools in a difficult situation.
• When the new Google Penguin algorithm crawled the website, 90% of the company’s recognised keywords were deindexed by Google.
• The website dropped from their first-page ranking to languish well after page 10, making it almost impossible for customers to find them.

The Process:

• First, they notified Google of the bad links that played a major part in the deindexing of the site.
• They then created a new website and an AdWords campaign to help counteract the negative effects.

The Result:

• Because 90% of major short-tail keywords were no longer effective, they increased long-tail keywords for the website.
• The combination of SEO long-tail keywords and content marketing helped boost visitors despite the Google penalty.

• Unethical SEO practices are not worth the risk.
