The following companies will be participating in the 2010 IDM Summer School week.
archibald ingall stretton
In a world of frantic change, strong brands and strong relationships are fundamental to business success. At archibald ingall stretton… we passionately believe that you can’t have one without the other. So, eight years ago we set up a different kind of agency, with a different approach, to bring the two together. Our success is centred around our ‘one room’ approach, which throws clients, brand, data, online media and creative expertise together, around one table, to create a powerful business insight – 'the one idea'. We like to think of this as the 'glue' that binds together all our creative and strategic work.
RAPP
We used to do direct marketing. We still do. These days though, direct marketing means engaging customers at any point in the journey where we can measure their behaviour and provoke responses.
That's why RAPP is a full service, integrated, global agency. In the UK we do data and crm, we do creative across all channels, we do digital in a big way, we do strategy, we offer specialist healthcare services, we do media buying and planning, we do technical development, we do telephone services management, we do experiential marketing, in fact we do almost everything, because your customers are everywhere.
The Marketing Store
Ideas are incredibly valuable things. At the Marketing Store we recognise that wholeheartedly, so when we think we have a potentially great thought, we do everything we can to explore it, nurture it and harness it. Yet we live in the real world - so everything we do is grounded in an understanding of real consumer behaviour. We are a global Brand Activation agency with offices in 9 countries worldwide. Wherever we work and whoever we work with, we always have a single goal in mind - to bring the spirit of the brand to life. We do this through any one of our five global competencies: interactive, experiential, product innovation, promotional and direct marketing.
EHS 4D Group
EHS 4D Group is a full service direct, data and digital marketing group comprising centres of excellence in each discipline that seamlessly combine to offer integrated solutions. EHS was established in 1986 and Brann in 1964. The companies merged in 2002 and became EHS 4D Group earlier this year to show our links with our parent company, Euro RSCG 4D. EHS has two UK offices in London and Cirencester and over 300 employees.
EHS 4D creates marketing communications in all relevant channels inspired by the client's brand promise. We make the promise relevant, motivating and personal for customers. This is underpinned by our commitment to marketing accountability, setting targets and capturing results to measure ROI and enhance future communications.
OgilvyOne London
Established in 1972 as Ogilvy & Mather Direct, OgilvyOne London is now one of the UK's leading and most innovative customer relationship-marketing agencies with a uniquely integrated approach to one-to-one communication.
A pioneer in digital since mid 1983, OgilvyOne London also has the distinction of having the industry's only in-house, fully integrated digital media planning and buying agency, neo@ogilvy, (set up in 2006 and now employing over 50 people), which was ranked the UK's seventh-biggest digital media agency (billings) by New Media Age magazine.
Part of the OgilvyOne Worldwide network - itself the world's largest one-to-one communications agency, with 150 offices in over 90 countries - OgilvyOne London has an enviable list of domestic and international blue-chip clients, including British Airways, BT, British Gas, American Express, Cisco, ActionAid, InterContinental Hotels Group, Zurich, Unilever and IBM.
OgilvyOne's vision is to move markets, to develop brand value through ideas but also move the brands and the organisations behind them into new territories. Whether in digital, direct mail, consulting or data analysis, OgilvyOne is uniquely focussed on unlocking customer value in everything it does, and is the living embodiment of David Ogilvy's famous rallying cry, "We sell or else".
Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman, Ogilvy Group
Rory Sutherland was born in Usk, Monmouthshire, in 1965 and educated at the local Haberdashers’ school and at Christ’s College, Cambridge. He joined OgilvyOne as a graduate trainee in September of that year. Working for the legendary Steve Harrison, Rory was promoted to Head of Copy in 1995 and Creative Director in 1997. He won some awards. It didn’t hurt that his brother was an academic, which meant Rory had first used the internet in 1986 – and so was an early advocate of new media. Rory has been rewarded by watching OgilvyInteractive grow into by far the most formidable digital arm of any traditional agency group – and by OgilvyOne’s capture of Campaign’s Agency of the Year title in 2007. In 2005 Rory was made vice-Chairman of the Ogilvy Group in the UK and is now President of the IPA.

Martin Troughton, Marketing Director, Anglian Home Improvements
Martins’ career focus has been singularly Direct Marketing, both on the client and agency side. He started his career at Ogilvy & Mather Direct following a management degree from Aston University. From O&M he joined BT where he became Head of Direct Marketing. Following BT, he became General Manager of O&M DataConsult before being made Client Services Director of O&M Direct.
