TREND FACTOR: COOPERATIVE MARKETING

We focus very much on joint ventures. At FAKTOR 3, cooperative marketing is developing into the real trend factor. We bring media and brands together or link two brands with one another in such a way that they reinforce their strengths by supplementing one another to provide a greater benefit. There are various reasons for the swiftly increasing significance of joint ventures: fragmentation of target groups, requirements for rapid response to market changes, the need for efficient distribution possibilities, approaching new customer groups or also simply cuts in budgets. Joint ventures can help solve these problems, both on an ad-hoc basis and as a strategic component of market processing in the marketing strategy. The typical agency position as consultant and "internal outsider" of its customers is a real advantage when it comes to realising cooperative strategies. We can identify connections where no one had imagined them before, use our brand knowledge and contacts practically, demonstrate negotiating skill and bring new partners together. At FAKTOR 3, with our own unit we have made the development and implementation of joint ventures a keynote of our daily work.
