What We Do

Are your budgets smaller than ever while expectations are at their highest?

Ivie does not simply think in terms of assignments or projects. We think long-term; from relentlessly negotiating the best rates and securing the best suppliers for your print, media and fulfillment needs, to actually placing representatives from our team at your side. We think of it as both working for you and working with you to ensure you get more for less.

Our company mission:  

"To provide a higher level of service at a lower cost."

Staff Enhancement.

Our people are your people. As an “In-Source,” we will work as members of your team, on site, and by your schedule. This approach to staff extension allows you access to a staff of experts that goes far beyond a single account representative. Further, we carry the burden of overhead where you cannot.

Procurement.

Simplicity does not always translate to efficiency. Our approach to procurement means working smarter to put the right suppliers in place at the right price. We leverage our significant buying power across our clients’ needs to deliver on our company mission. It is our approach to procurement that supports our ability to give our clients more for less.

Is your workload heavier than it’s ever been?

Ivie is dedicated to helping our clients sleep better.

Project Management.

Project management is what we do. Our success is based on our ability to eliminate your concerns about whether a project is going to get done right and on time. We combine our experience and best practices with your existing processes to achieve the best methods for managing your projects in your world. We apply the diligence, discipline, and tools necessary to successfully execute every project.

Staff Enhancement.

We do not use an “all hands on deck” approach, but put dedicated and experienced staff and resources at your fingertips. We can provide temporary or long-term additions to media services, print procurement, project management, pre-press and creative services, or a full complement of resources to meet your demand.

Do you have trouble getting the right people on staff?

“We strive to identify, train and place team members who mirror the culture and working environment in which they will be working. While this can be a subjective method of developing a client team, our track record of picking the right person is impeccable.”

- Warren Ivie, Founder/CEO

Staff Enhancement.

With a staff of more than 250 associates and a client list spanning across retail verticals and a global geography, we have created the optimal training ground for our associates. Our ability to provide effective client teams who work on-site with your leaders is unique. Our approach to providing resources to meet your needs, while also delivering efficient solutions to your marketing execution, ensures that the Ivie answer is both effective and efficient.

Are you struggling to find vendor partners that can turn your projects on a dime?

When we had responsibilities similar to yours,
we were always in need of a group that shared our concerns,
  …that understood our sense of urgency
  …that set their priority list to match ours
  …that worked the kind of hours we worked

That group did not exist.  So we created it.

Retail Marketing Services.

Ivie is not a boutique or an agency; we are a team of experienced retail marketing professionals who understands both how and why retail marketing is unique. Our services support both the daily grind and the exceptionally fast pace of retail marketing. Our core services are representative of all the components required to develop and deliver effective retail marketing.

Procurement.

Delivering what you need, when you need it, and at the best price is our daily focus.  Our staff of experienced print and media procurement specialists works diligently to deliver the right products, on time and under budget. We evolved from the retail marketing world, so we understand the business realities of “the eleventh hour,” and we have a track record of delivering for our clients even when faced with short lead times.

Are you looking for ways to operate more efficiently?

Project Management.

We start with an important process…your process. Then we apply our experience, technology, and people to make it even better.

• Tracking and status reports built around your needs
• Complete service coverage from job initiation through cost validation and invoice detail.

Each Ivie Project Manager is dedicated to attaining inside-out knowledge of your business and assisting you in the fulfillment of every detail of every project. Our intense support grants you valuable time and a sound state of mind.

Staff Enhancement.

Your efficiency and ability to focus on your business each day is a direct result of the team you employ to execute your initiatives. The combination of our on-site support, off-site resources, and the leverage we have to drive your costs down make us a critical part of your team.

Do you wish you had the time to explore trends and implement fresh ideas?

An Outside Perspective. An Inside Objective.

Retail Marketing Services.

The benefit of any outsource team is perspective. You want a partner who can bring a fresh perspective to your challenges. The benefit of working with Ivie is that our entire staff is dedicated to delivering retail marketing services, every day, across several retail verticals and all over the world. We not only bring a fresh perspective, we bring it with both the practicality of understanding your world and the proven results we’ve discovered firsthand with other clients.  As our business is built upon execution, our success requires that we invest significant time and energy monitoring new trends in retail marketing. We are constantly researching, testing and collaborating among our client teams to bring effective solutions to all of our clients.

Procurement.

We leverage more than just volume when it comes to our procurement model. We also leverage our relationships with the supplier community to gain first-look access to new technologies and techniques. From print technology to new media and in-store solutions, we have an inside track to the latest trends that will impact our clients’ marketing efforts.
