# Ilex in 2019: Expertise, Experience and Execution

Ilex is growing. Now in our seventh year of operations, we  
are expanding capabilities to support our clients in new ways.   

Over the last 12 months, we’ve broadened the services we  
deliver as well as the types of companies we serve. We have covered everything  
from rebranding established companies, launching start-ups and setting the  
agenda for customer events, to creating a thought leadership report for global  
management consultancy Accenture. We created sales presentations for Smart  
Cities initiatives in the Middle East and delivered PR campaigns across Africa.

Online or offline, we are creating and delivering  
world-class content and communications that creates touchpoints for influencing  
our clients’ audiences.

We also continued to add to our client portfolio with new  
additions including London Internet Exchange (LINX). At the same time, we’ve  
nurtured and grown together with long-time clients like Epsilon and Stage  
Intelligence. Just as our business has changed a lot over the last seven years,  
we’ve adapted and learned from these clients. Best of all, we’ve grown as  
partners and shared a lot of successes. 

Ilex is definitely not the same business we were seven years  
ago, and it shows in the diversity of clients we work for and the types of  
content and consultancy we deliver. We continued to develop our Channel  
Marketing offering with branded sales enablement content for our client’s  
partners, while there’s been increased demand for consultancy services. B2B  
technology and telecoms businesses want help in transforming their approach to  
marketing.

We have proven case studies and we’re helping more companies  
go from focusing on product, to talking about the potential of their solutions  
to drive revenue and change the world. That’s what’s exciting.

I’m extremely proud of how Ilex has expanded its global  
presence, with clients now spanning Singapore, Mumbai, Dubai, Turkey, France,  
UK, US, Canada and Brazil and beyond. From the Hawker Centre’s of Singapore to  
the Northshore mountains of Vancouver, Canada, we’re delivering local marketing  
across globally. From supporting the sales of enterprise IT solutions in the  
UAE to executing on a channel partner strategy in the UK, we don’t see any  
limits on our business and as we grow.

We’re going to go deeper into new markets and enable our  
client’s success, strengthened by our proven track record and expanding  
portfolio.     

**Priorities in 2019**

In 2019, Ilex will focus on expanding our scope to serve  
more of our clients’ needs and growing our business across new geographies and types  
of companies. We have had tremendous success as a creative engine for our  
clients, but we see a desire for more consultancy-based services, as well as  
tracking and managing content.

B2B tech and telecoms businesses are increasingly asking us  
to help them transform their marketing departments, and tie content to leads  
and leads to conversions. So far, we have been doing the creative heavy lifting,  
but have a lot to offer through formalising our marketing transformation  
consultancy and adopting new tools for inbound marketing.

What this means we need to focus on in 2019:

- **Delivering  
  More Consultancy** – We know how to take legacy B2B marketing and transform it  
  to lead an organisation and bring it up-to-date. That means helping clients to  
  restructure how their marketing department functions to maximise efficiency,  
  and optimise marketing with online and offline content. At the same time, we’re  
  being asked to name products, companies and create start-up brands from the  
  ground-up. We’ve been successful in taking start-up ideas and turning them into  
  compelling brands, or taking legacy names and reinventing them. Consultancy  
  leverages our creativity in new ways and creates new value for clients.     

- **Inbound Analytics  
  and Tracking** – After years of using Hubspot through clients, we will adopt  
  and offer Hubspot to new clients. We have been great at populating Hubspot and  
  giving clients all of the content they need to drive inbound leads, but now we  
  will be able to offer a complete solution of compelling content and the  
  functional tools for tracking leads and tying them to real revenue. That’s  
  powerful for our business and will benefit clients tremendously. 

- **Scaling  
  Up and Growing the Team** – In 2019, we will add new team members to continue  
  to expand and grow our business. This has been driven by new client wins as  
  well as existing clients asking us to tackle more of their marketing needs. New  
  staff means adding new personalities, skills and dimensions to our business.  
  I’m extremely pleased with our recent hires because they bring new ideas to our  
  business and offer clients new advice on things like Google Ad’s, Graphic  
  Design, events management and a whole range of experience.

- **Nurturing  
  Our Core –** We have a number of clients that have been with us for five or  
  more years and we will work hard to adapt and grow together. We aren’t just “another  
  agency”. We’ve learned about their business and many times shaped their  
  messaging over years, so we offer them unique perspective on their businesses.  
  It is important that we continue to evolve and take care of the clients that  
  have been with us since the beginning.

- **Expanding  
  Our B2B Footprint –** We have seen our business grow beyond the carrier  
  industry where we started, and we want to continue to expand in new areas. We have  
  worked with Cloud-based storage providers, Artificial Intelligence Platforms, Enterprise  
  IT solutions providers, Broadcast solutions providers, Management Consultants,  
  industry bodies- a whole range of organisations. As long as the company is focused  
  on B2B, we want to serve their needs. Cloud-based channel-focused businesses  
  and B2B AI platforms will be growth areas for us in 2019 in addition to our  
  core telecoms and mobility clients.   

This time next year, we’ll be a bigger and more dynamic  
company. We will be managing more of our clients’ marketing mix and offering  
them more solutions. All of this will be underpinned by our core content  
offering and creative ideas. We will take our business to a new level and that  
will directly benefit both our new and existing clients.
