In Feudal Japan, the Ronin were hired guns.

Ronin Marketing is here to ensure that you make the most out of every opportunity you have to market your company.

No matter what the media, it’s our role to selflessly back you up, and make sure that your interests come first.

There are many consultants out there, and providers of everything from graphic design to websites, seo and advertising. We’re different because we not only provide everything you need under one roof – we believe in maintaining a strong strategic focus in everything we do, and executing it in the most practical, effective way possible for your benefit; and without bias.

In addition to having experise, we take the word “professionalism” seriously. The Ronin Marketing method is absolutely transparent, and we do things the way we do them because any supplier should serve the client’s interests, not his own.

This is the case in each of the disciplines we practice, and we mean it.

Boldly Transparent in Execution – What We Don’t Do:

When we say that Ronin Marketing prides itself on putting the client’s best interests before our own, we mean it in the most practical and fundamental ways. There are many sections within this website where we state what we do. However, here’s a few random examples of what we don’t do:

We DO NOT use preformatted “Marketing Strategies” or advice.

There are people out there who sell business owners on a business or marketing plan, but these documents can sometimes be little more than an embellished template that simply does not cater to the specific needs of your business and your place in the market. At best lazy and at worst, downright dangerous, this approach is the exact opposite of our own. Ronin Marketing approaches any analyses and Marketing Strategies with a strong dose of gravitas.

You paid for the work, so you own the work.

Whether it’s a logo, photography, or a website; we don’t hold onto the rights and lease it back to you or anything like that. If you’ve had photography commissioned, you get every original shot that was taken. If we build a website, it’s yours – we don’t rent it to you or try to tie you to a hosting deal where you could lose access it if you decide to move on.

We don’t outsource your web work overseas, or pump it out from a preformatted template.

Beyond believing in supporting Australian jobs, we believe that the best online results come from content written by local marketing professionals, not cheap overseas labour. Likewise, we believe your brand deserves better attention than being slapped into a graphic design that could be shared with dozens of other companies.

Whenever possible, we build websites using “Open Source”.

Rather than using a proprietary custom CMS (Content Management System) that for all intents and purposes locks you to one supplier, and is practically impossible for a third party to untangle and edit at a later date, we deliver websites that are easily edited, added to, modified and moved.

We don’t practice “Black Hat” Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

Google’s algorithms are becoming increasingly good at spotting techie shortcuts that cheat their system. We’re of the view that practices such as link farming, using robots to create inbound links and the like simply don’t deliver you a very good long term investment. Your online presence is an asset, and care should be given to invest in assets of high, lasting quality, not ones that can disappear like a house of cards with the next algorithm change.

We don’t create Social Media for the sake of it.

ALL communications from your business, and in the name of your brand are important. Yet there can be a tendency of “quantity over quality” when it comes to the way some services draft social media content. At best, your investment is wasted on aimless filler rather than brand-relevant messages, and at worst, you can have a PR nightmare. Long story short, we ensure that every task plays its part, from the biggest strategy to the smallest Tweet.

On the flip side…

Personal, Practical Service, Delivered in Plain English

Our clients always deal with their own consultant, never an account manager or technician. We know you’re not interested in TARPs or whether your website is php-based. You just want to improve your business asset in the right way by getting the best returns with a minimum of risk. Let us worry about the details, and we’re happy to explain whenever you ask.

What Our Philosophy Means to You

At the end of the day, it may sound trite, but we approach your work as though it’s for our own business. We don’t cut corners or look to make a quick buck. Any planning is tailor-made for you and your goals, and in short, we’re committed to helping you in the long term. Everything we do is geared to improving your returns and making your life easier, not vice-versa.
