MARKETING
does not need to feel like this

A Collection Of Creative Specialists
BASED IN LONDON, ONTARIO

Small Business Marketing.

Revolutionized.

 

CIRCLE PHILOSOPHY

Round Circle Media is a collection of independant freelance creative professionals able to boost your comapany's marketing initiatives while increasing brand recognition without the typical cost of dealing with a typical design firm or having your own marketing staff on salary.

With no overhead costs and the ability of hand selecting the required local professionals in London Ontario specifically needed for your project, all of your available budget goes directly into your project.



the inner circle


Being in the marketing industry for over 10 years in different cities and companies, I have worked with some very talented people. I worked alongside some of them, I managed some of them, and I worked underneath some of them. The people I have remained working with (I call them for projects when their expertise is required, they call me when mine is needed) have four things in common. Talent, Vision, Creativity, and Dependability.

trusted scalability


The inner circle contains five people. People with their own independant careers in Graphic Design, Video Production, Programming, 3D Modeling, Photography, and Social Marketing.

If the graphic designer says, 'Hey, we are going to need to pull in three more graphic designers for these tasks, and these are the three people who should do it', I know that those three graphic designers are going to be able to come on board and represent the values of the circle. As the main videographer in the circle, I know at least eight other videographers who I can depend on if I need them. If the main programmer needs a few extra hands, he is able to not only 'pick someone he knows', but will be able to filter his list and determine which 'style' of programmer would be best suited for that particular task.




















 

THE WORK

You may notice we have quite a random collection of work. Every client has their own story. We offer the most cost effective way to tell it. We are not here to 'sell you a product'. We are here to bring your marketing to the next level. Without knowing you, we don't know what your next level is, or how best to help you tell your story. Why not set up a no obligation consultation?

O.A.F.C.C.D
Ontario Association For Families Of Children With Communication Disorders

CHECK OUT THIS PAGE!

I have been working with this various aspects of this organization since 2010 and have gotten to know a lot of great people. We are currently working on a DVD for parents, discussing available options, and the importance of parent involvement and advocacy. We will be re-doing the O.A.F.C.C.D website once the video is complete in July.

The Ontario Association of Families of Children with Communication Disorders (OAFCCD) was founded in 1994 to help families understand and navigate the speech and language service system. OAFCCD helps families by providing information on how they can access services, help their child at home and partner effectively with Speech-Language Pathologists and schools.

London Rogues
Star Wars Fan Club In London Ontario

To be honest, I pictured a group of people who dress up like Star Wars exactly how you are picturing it! I met these guys while filming the London Santa Parade, and what a great group of people! They had a very outdated site that had a few images of them in their costumes.

When finding out how they earn a lot for great causes, I knew that I could tell their story, get the stigma away from 'star wars club' and to let the community know about them; they entertain at birthdays, corporate parties, and charity fundraisers.

Architectural Renderings
3D Modeling and Pre-Visualization Imagery

The best part about having renders done for your project is that you can actually 'look at' your final project before it's complete. Not only can you see your final product, but you can make changes with ease. For example, if you look at flooring samples at a flooring store, you can 'kind of imagine' what it would look like.

With us, can you pre-visualize what effect that flooring colour is going to have on the rest of the room. You can see in the image below how much darker the darker floor makes 'the entire' room.

AustinWhiteheadDesign.com
Home Designer & Drafting Services In North Bay Ontario

A family run business in North Bay that have been designing homes and structures for over 50 years! They were looking for a very simple, 'hey get us on the internet' website, and are very pleased with website and branding, and we are currently tossing around some pretty unique marketing campaigns...lots of things we can do together.

www.TalentVideos.ca
Professionally Recorded Talent Videos

Here's a fun little idea we came up with while looking at our filming equipment not currently being used. Why not use that and make some really cool professional videos for performers and their talents. What gramma doesn't want this video on her iPad for her birthday!

www.SuccessionAmerica.com
Our mandates are simplicity and safety

Succession America asked us to 'make our logo scream America' but one that could be adapted when they opened their Canadian branch. They also required a website for their new launch. We decided a toned down background, with splashes of vibrant colour amongst the content was the best way to present their services to their customers.

INSIGHT

What's the benefit of having a collection of freelance specialists at your disposal? While the differences depend on whether you are a business owner looking for a marketing boost, a company who is looking to hire a new graphics guy, video guy, or web developer, or even a marketing firm looking for someone to handle their overflow, you are looking for the most value in your customized solution.

THE SOLUTION IS IN LONDON ONTARIO

why would you pay for someone not working on your project?

No Overhead Costs
SAVING YOU MONEY

I have spent years in the web design, video, marketing, and social media business. I've seen a lot of inefficiencies, potential cost savings, and most importantly, have met a lot of very talented and creative people along the way. I've been a manager of a creative agency. I've been a video guy in a marketing department. I've seen a lot of clients not receiving the best bang for their buck when it comes to their marketing investment.

I've had to assign high level programmers to very basic web or data entry tasks
I've had to budget for project costs to include people not even involved with the project



AND I'VE HAD TO PASS THESE COSTS ALONG TO THE CLIENT.




#  

A Typical Marketing Firm


If you need a website designed or made over, your project will be assigned a graphic designer and a web programmer. Why should you pay for a videographer if there is no video work being done? (Of course, it is my job to tell you that video work SHOULD be done!)

I have first hand knowledge of the capabilities of these freelancers. Each of the freelancers set their own hourly wage. Enterprise-solutions capable people (and the higher wage that goes with it) will not be assigned when a more cost effective solution would be to use one of the available straight-forward web programmers.




is hiring a new staff member your most cost effective solution?

No Overhead Costs
SAVING YOU MONEY
If you are currently looking for a new staff member like a web developer or a graphic designer, you might not be getting the best bang for your buck. Let's look at a typical entry level salary of $40,000/year. You are paying one (entry level, remember) guy $3333/month. And that's even before everything you are going to have to pay the government for that honour.

Let's say you hire Round Circle Media at $2500 per month. After consulting with you and the members of Round Circle Media, we will determine the best way to proceed. Let's look at a hypothetical client over three months.

  • Month 1 : $700 on graphics, $1000 on video, $800 on social media campaigns
  • Month 2 : $500 on graphics, $1500 on website upgrades and optimizing, $500 on social media campaigns
  • Month 3 : $1200 on video, $1000 on 3D modeling/ Rendering, $300 on social media campaigns

The work chosen will depend entirely on the individual client's needs. The goal is to take your budget, and select what projects should be taken on first for the best marketing value.

Building Ongoing Solutions
GROWING TOGETHER

OK, so you can already begin to see the advantage of having a variety of creative professionals working with you. But here is where the Circle Philosophy gets even better. Now we determine a client's monthly budget, let's say it's $2500 per month again. Before we begin each new month, you will be presented with options on how best to utilize that budget to bring the most value.

Each of our members will of course wish to have their services included in the new month's budget, and will essentially bid on the work. A client consultation presenting you with all the available options will allow us to figure out together which are the best projects to go ahead for the month.
 

CONSULTATION

Let's Set Something Up
The most important part of our relationship is the initial consultation. Not only can we figure out the required people for your project, but we can sit down and talk about your company, your current marketing plans, etc. Our biggest goal here is to let you know what sort of service is available. Some of the best ideas happen with a face to face meeting, once we talk about how BOTH SIDES' KNOWLEDGE can be involved to form a successful relationship.


I have done a lot of work with these people over the years, and know them to excel in and take great pride in what they produce. I know of their desire to help their clients succeed the best they know how... and I know them all as fantastic people; great folks I have depended on time and time again. Hard working, ethical, 'team-first' people I will call on when high quality work in their area of expertise is required.
