TAMPA — A dozen companies have banded together to launch Allies Marketing, a collaborative marketing network, according to a release.
The Tampa Bay network handles advertising, social media, event planning, video and broadcast production, photography, IT, and receptionist services, among others, according to the release.
Sue Fern, an Allies partner who does event planning and trade show services, says networking allows clients to select among various services, rather than engaging a costly full-service marketing agency. The network serves as a virtual marketing mall, she says. “Why buy an entire suit when all you need are shoes?”
The network's new clients include a mobile veterinary practice in southwest Florida, according to the release. Dr. Andrea Bivens, owner of Medi-Waggin' says she has hired social media and vehicle wrap experts from the new network, among other services.
