Content management and cross-channel content distribution are featured, as well as a fully responsive website framework. 

Infrastructure support comes from our partner, www.net-defence.com, who ensure uptime and security. 

New Brochure Builder

In sales and marketing, sometimes, the whole brochure is simply 'too much'. How do you overcome this problem?  To help Ogilvie Fleet's sales team and their clients, we created a web-based brochure builder. Having already created the branding, sales messages and targeting angles for the customisable physical brochure, this is a natural, digital extension. 

Our customer can update brochures with new sales sheets as their requirements develop. Furthermore, the system is utilised to distribute custom-fit sales PDFs for Ogilvie Fleet's vehicle leasing, finance and fleet management customers. It's the next step in budget reduction in regards to physical printing costs. 

New Website: IP59

Bringing something different to the ICT table is always a challenge. IP59 believe that their one-bill solution, backed by the best partners in the industry is their USP. Delivering Cloud, SaaS, PaaS, Backup, Microsoft Online Exchange, SharePoint and licence management. Here's what they had to say, "Focussing on ICT, infrastructure and software needs specifically, we enable tailored solutions to be deployed and managed on-line. This unique proposition has been under-pinned with extensive investment over 3 years resulting in our own mobile network, UK based data centre and unique security and mobility solutions delivered on-line. This in turn enables the client to realise their business goals faster, with less effort and for less cost."

IDAC Media worked to develop branding that reflected their communications heritage but was flexible enough to reach in to the wider array of products and services they offered.

The website is layout-responsive and as such, you can view the same content on large, small or mobile screens without loss or need to pinch/zoom. The system allows selective content, as some may not be needed in the mobile experience and it then scales, re-orders and fits beautifully - an excellent new all-in-one fit that our clients can now order from IDAC.

NEW SITE: Great Wall Motors (Glasgow Dealership)

Existing client, Killermont Motors of Glasgow, recently won the Great Wall Motor dealership with the initial stock of Steed 4x4 Pick-up trucks.

In order to better support the sales and marketing process, IDAC were enlisted to create a specific site for the Glasgow dealership. Great Wall Motors are a Chinese firm and are one of the largest manufacturers of vehicles in the World and we were happy to produce a stylish micro-site to enhance the offering on behalf of Killermont.

The site works well on both desktop and smartphone browsers, promoting the key aspects of the Steed pick up trucks, with encouragement to contact and request purchase information or simply a demo drive.

The vehicles have an excellent specification and use components from the leading Japanese firms such as Honda, Toyota and Isuzu. They are aimed at buyers who need versatility in their vehicles without compromising comfort or simply those wishing to save money against the L200, Hi-Lux or even LR-Defenders.
