HARRY’S COMMENTS: We are working with Moxie Interactive in their search for an Data Strategist. Founded in 2000, Moxie is a full-service interactive marketing agency located in Atlanta. In 2006, Moxie was acquired by Zenith Media Services, a Publicis Groupe Company, and the expansion included adding offices in New York and Los Angeles. The firm’s clients include Coca-Cola, L’Oreal USA, Verizon Wireless, Cartoon Network, Turner Broadcasting System, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and 20th Century Fox.
With more than 600 employees, Moxie’s services include: digital media, media strategy buying/planning, online display advertising, search engine marketing (SEM), word of mouth (WOM) marketing, consumer generated media (CGM), research & analytics, social networking, mobile advertising, podcasts/mobile downloads, Web site design and development, ECRM programs, email marketing, digital signage/interactive merchandising, interactive demos, CD/DVD multi-media production, and video/audio production. The firm is famous for its thought leadership, like this.
Now, Moxie is getting into ecommerce consulting – and it needs your help.
While Moxie’s corporate culture is really that of a traditional agency, its brand-new ecommerce consulting service looks to be more of a technology integrator and strategy consulting arm within the agency. Currently, Moxie has one major ecommerce consulting client and a pressing need for staff to manage new ecommerce projects relating to that relationship. I know Moxie’s client very well, having placed their VP of Ecommerce with them last year. Their business is massive, and their ecommerce growth objectives for 2014 are epic in size, scope, cost, and challenge.
But Moxie is well up to the task.
In comparison to other agencies, Moxie has a very long history with most of its clients. Most digital agencies market themselves as one-stop shops for interactive marketing, for example, and because of their myopic focus, they don’t have much repeat business. Moxie’s relationship with its ecommerce client has lasted more than 10 years, which gives Moxie a valuable historical perspective on their client’s business, culture, evolution, and ability to manage the changes that accompany the integration of omnichannel digital commerce into their business. Truly, who better than Moxie to help this client manage this change in how they go to market?
Because of Moxie’s knowledge of the gritty nuts and bolts of direct to consumer ecommerce, it has a unique ability to help its clients understand how every aspect of their value proposition can be digitally enhanced throughout the value chain.
