Shelley Hammond managing director said the business’ strength comes from its distinct in-house capabilities and, when needed, by partnering with complementary agencies to deliver work for clients across the earned, owned and paid media mix.
“We set out to bring the best skills and expertise home, under one roof,” Shelley said. “We have our core focus areas we specialise in, plus a network of agency mates doing stellar work, so we bring those smarts together to co-create impactful solutions – effective collaboration certainly isn’t a new concept, but we really embrace it.”.
Matt Allison founder and managing director of marketing consultancy Ubiquity Lab has partnered with One Roof Agency and also sees value in integration. “Marketing is so diverse, very few agencies can do everything their clients need, let alone do them all with precision and in tandem. We’ve collaborated with Shells and the One Roof team and it’s refreshing to unify complementary skill-sets and work cohesively with a partner to deliver the best client outcome,” Matt said.
Shelley is optimistic about the agency and the future of the industry saying, “I’m so encouraged by the response we’ve had to date, and look forward to 2020 and delivering meaningful, integrated work.”
