  4. Background IDN is proud of its Direct Marketing heritage. We approach our 25 year anniversary as a respected independent and entrepreneurial network of best in class DM agencies. Members believe our mission, positioning and identity require re-appraisal. Perception that we are a Direct Mail organization. Market has moved on and we need to stay a step ahead of it particularly the growth in the digital.

Task team - Keith Weiser, Georges Van Nevel, Richard Marshall, Hans Christian Bjorkto, & Michael Killeen have worked on this project since Amsterdam 2010. Our work has inspired Des Columb and his Task Team to deliver identity solutions which will follow this presentation.We hope to get sign off today on this new direction.

  5. Task force objective • To capture and convey the core identity and purpose of IDN and re-ignite all stakeholders with • renewed energy and restored conviction to become the best in their own markets. • Three questions directed our thinking: • 1. Who do IDN really want to be? - What are the values that are core to IDN and meaningful to all our • stakeholders? What is our positioning in our market place • 2. Where do we want to go?- What is our (strategic) intent and what’s at the heart of our network? Find • a direction that is balanced and agreeable to all members or should we explore a brand new positioning • which requires effort and change by all but will be worth it in the end.? What is our mission story • 3. How do we want to get there? - Do we energise our culture and boost our brand? Do we take one • giant step or many small ones? Does it require a name change/ new identity?

  10. The IDN Story

  11. The IDN story During the early days of the DM era, eight visionary men got together with a common view of improving their individual and collective marketing excellence by sharing resources. Since that day in 1988, IDN has organised a buzzing meeting place for leading DM agency entrepreneurs around the world who voluntarily and openly share honest insights, developed strong friendships, entrepreneurial values and a desire to produce world class work for clients locally and globally.

  12. The IDN story With annual revenues of $1.2 billion IDN has now become a leading integrated agency network with access to the best agency thinking around the world. IDN is made up of motivated and skilled members who proactively share knowledge that help members make more money in their own market. Members can convert these learning’s to gain the confidence of their existing clients to move into international markets utilising IDN membership to execute global projects. We have an insatiable desire to learn and share and to venture beyond our horizons. .

  13. The IDN story We are entrepreneurs with a need to be independent and free to pursue individual and collective marketing excellence. We place great emphasis on enjoying each others company. We genuinely care about each others problems and successes. We attach strong value to our heritage and our family atmosphere of honest friendships. And we embrace fun extremely well in a sector that has forgotten why fun is good for the heart and soul. Remember that friends are the family that we choose ourselves There is no age, sex or cultural bias in the IDN family. We understand the need to be profitable or we will not survive or be able to invest in or train our brilliant people. IDN frees our potential and unlocks a world of opportunities in our home markets and in the bigger global world which we now all compete in.

  14. Proposed IDN Mission:

  15. Mission Leverage member knowledge, inspiration, staff and services to make each individual agency stronger and more profitable in their home markets. And when necessary, allow them to enter foreign markets with absolute confidence of members support.

  16. Name Should we consider a name change to reflect the new world or simply a new identity to sharpen our look? (Up for discussion)
