1. THE BEGINNING

This innovation initially came to life when…

Being owners of a PR + Marketing agency that focuses on challenger and global brands, we had a myriad of small-medium sized businesses who were approaching us for PR, yet couldn’t afford the cost! The need for a smaller DIY package was thus born, through the online platform PHLANX.com.

Phlanx.com is an online marketing platform for business owners and PR/Marketing industry professionals.

2. WHAT & HOW

The purpose of this innovation is to…

…create marketing opportunities for PR + Marketing agencies. It is an online portal where business owners find other business owners, as well as influencers, and work together to drive joint opportunity!

It does this by…

…providing an Influencer Directory and Cross-Collaboration Portal alongside engagement calculator and contract generator tools.

3. PURPOSE & BENEFITS

This innovation improves on what came before because…

It’s a cost-effective method to doing your own marketing, or an easier guide for industry professionals!

Its various benefits to the customer/end-user include…

An online place where you can POST or RESPOND to business owners looking to cross-collaborate, a Global directory of influencers, an engagement calculator to measure an influencer’s engagement rate and a plethora of insider industry opportunities!

From a business point of view, hiring a PR/Marketing agency, however, if you did not have the budget for one it was searching the internet trying to find an opportunity. From a PR/Marketing agency, it was networking, cold emailing, and meeting contacts at events. We’ve solved this problem by creating a GO-TO spot for marketing.

4. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

In the past, this problem was solved by…

No one! No one across Australia is currently in this space, from a marketing platform’s perspective. There are a few individual businesses specialising in individual parts of our business (like the influencer directory) however none have an all-in-one platform!

5. TARGET MARKET

It is made for…

Individuals who work in PR or Marketing industries as well as small – medium business owners looking to grow their business.

It is available for sale through…

The website: www.phlanx.com.

Our marketing strategy is to…

Engage Influencer Management: using influencers to market the platform, Digital Advertising, in specific Facebook and Instagram.
