idfive Hosts Nonprofit Make-A-Thon in Baltimore City
Individually, we’re educators, writers, students, entrepreneurs, volunteers, artists, and community leaders. Together, we’re a team of passionate people who want to do good for clients who do good. Sure, we may never get rich. We’ll always be weird. And we’ll continue to treat beer, coffee, and salted caramels as food groups. But what a ride it is.
We developed the Discover360™ to help us better understand your brand and its challenges. It includes:
We deliver the insights you need to connect with the audience you seek by answering the questions “Who are your audiences?”; “Who (or what) influences them”; and “How do they make purchasing decisions?”
What does your audience actually do versus what they say they do? What types of insights do you get from in-person (or via smartphone) observations of people’s real lives and/or how they interact with your brand, products and services?
We analyze your marketing and communications materials, programs, and strategies to improve your visibility, effectiveness, and impact.
We provide a comprehensive view of you, your competitors, and where you stand in relation to them online and offline.
We analyze the traffic patterns on your site to reveal vital information about how your customers and prospects experience your organization online.
We provide a comprehensive analysis of the brand impact of your current communications, whether migrating to a new website or embarking on a new communications strategy.
Our strategic roadmap has multiple stops along the way. We invite clients to hop on or off where it makes sense.
We collaborate with you to find the gaps in how you express your brand and then create the plan that will allow us to project your core brand attributes.
We determine the best way to engage your audiences in order to create a strategy that helps you reach your goals.
We execute integrated, data-driven campaigns and then fine-tune them through active management for ongoing campaign optimization.
Traditional agencies’ work ends when they get their commission on media. Design boutiques are done when they deliver a logo everyone hates the least. And digital firms just hope the check clears before you find the first bugs on that brand new site.
We go into every client partnership with the expectation that it will last years. Unlike many firms, we actually want to be around when the results roll in.
We use a data-rich feedback loop that measures, optimizes, and delivers the right message through the right media to the right audiences—at the right time. It’s not rocket surgery, just a little thing we like to call being accountable.
We don’t charge commission on media. Anyone can place an ad and take 7%. Instead, we earn our keep through the active management of campaigns. Through manual and programmatic media buying, we’re able to manage clients’ budgets responsibly.
We support the entire customer lifecycle across all media—traditional, digital, owned, branded, and unconventional. From education and acquisition to nurture and upsell, we work closely with clients to help them get closer to their customers.
Anyone can say they do good work, but does that good work actually work? However you decide to partner with idfive, you can be sure that we’ve got the talent, creativity, and knowledge to make sure it will.
We can’t do it all by ourselves. We collaborate with partners who have the right resources and approaches that work perfectly and help us solve our clients’ needs. From hosting to giving platforms and more, we’re proud to claim these companies as partners—and we know what they can deliver: strong solutions for worthy clients.
We don't need metal and acrylic to tell us that we've done our job well. Our clients do that for us. But if the most respected awards organizations in our industry are going to acknowledge us, we're not going to stop them. That'd just be rude.
