San Diego Marketing Firm Launches 'Agency of the Future'

Innovative company launches clusters of monthly fixed fee marketing services

San Diego, CA (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 12, 2010 — Marketing expert Mike Harris today announced that his

firm is introducing a unique new marketing agency model. Harris

Consulting LLC now offers fixed fee monthly packages that can include

fresh monthly content, public relations, Internet marketing, lead

generation, social media marketing, search engine optimization, email

marketing, website hosting and website updating. Introductory prices

range from $2,500 to $3,500 per month. All packages include press

releases, customer case studies, e-newsletters and email marketing. PODCAST

Redefining How Agency Services Are Priced And Delivered

“There is a place and time when silo services in advertising, public relations, web development, SEO or other vertical marketing services

are, perhaps, good solutions,” Harris stated. “The problem is that many

of those agencies have high labor costs, can’t collaborate with one

another and are not good with existing marketing technologies, let alone

the amazing new ones. Many of those business models are better suited

for larger companies, complex brands or other situations that need lots

of hand-holding.”

Represents A New Breed of Marketing Service Providers

Harris said his company model is fairly new in the marketing services industry but that inevitably it will be followed due to demand.

"Yes, we are pioneering this model," he said, "in hopes it will give clients a much better alternative than overly complex hourly billing models."

He said his company is at the forefront of driving marketing results higher and labor costs lower by

fusing C-level marketing consulting, new marketing technologies

and a highly talented mobile marketing workforce to give clients more

options at much lower costs.

“If a company is spending $200,000 plus on a TV commercial then, yes, maybe they’re going to want a large ad agency involved,” Harris

continued. “Most companies, however, are not national brands and they’re

not Fortune companies, yet they want to compete just as hard. They’re

not looking for a “Just Do It” campaign…they want market visibility,

reputation growth and a constantly growing database of interconnected

customers, prospects, relevant media and industry experts.”

Company Is Driving Down High Cost of Marketing Labor

Harris said his company is driving marketing labor costs down sharply by offering labor saving marketing technologies such as TellCasT™,

a social networking accelerator which pushes blogs, videocasts,

podcasts, press releases and virtually any content to 350+ social media

sites at the same time.

He said, “Fixed prices for marketing services are uncommon for now. However they make great sense as a bridge between hourly fees and

pay-for-performance, which is still nascent. Clients want lower costs

and they want to know their monthly marketing investment from the outset

without hourly billing surprises. Clients also don't want a meter to be

running every time they pick up the phone.”
