It is the function of creative people to perceive relations between thoughts, or things, or forms of expressions
  that seem utterly different, and to be able to Connect the seemingly Unconnected.

DISCOVER THE RESONANCES

The core values of people and their attitudes toward marketing advertising are changing with a continually increasing speed. The cooperation between commercial and non-profit organizations has become an important part of their marketing strategy, to show Corporate Social Responsibilty (CSR) for instance. At this point one could ask: is CSR marketing at all, or “just” charity work? Don't you think that almost anything you see, hear or sense  in our world is marketing in a way or another.

The business environment of commercial and the operational environment of uncommercial organizations changes rapidly, the consumer behaviour is changing uninterrupted, the target audience’s field of interest is splintering in smaller and smaller pieces...

Every organization have to find new ways to approach their target audiences, and begin to search for new communication channels to get their messages forwarded to, not only their target groups but, to single personalities as well.

When the marketing costs are continually expanding, Co-marketing in all of its forms is becoming more and more important. Different forms of Co-marketing are among others are Co-promotion, Cause Related Marketing, Event Marketing, Sponsorship, and Compositioning about very few, even marketing professionals know so much about.

As you all very well know, Ad-agencies sell ads, Media-agencies media, and the PR-agency public relations services At the same time marketing manager jumps back and forth to the Ad-agency, the PR-manager to the PR-agency. Everyone fights each other to get their own ideas through in the process, and to keep their post in organizations.

Create Harmony trough Dissonances

Because of these cold facts; to create cost-effective integrated marketing communication wholes is just an impossible formula. By this marketers ends up too often to be happy with good results, when even excellent results would have been possible to achieve (case-study: www.sicusynergy.org/ars.htm)!

Here’s in where SICU Synergy Solutions jump in picture. To Connect the Unconnected! With a lot of Know-How and Experience of Unconventional Marketing Methods, Ad- & PR-agencies, Arts, Sports and Culture, Commercial and Uncommercial organizations, and with a huge amount of networks and contacts all over the world.

SICU is founded in that spirit of exploration - to bring together different creative and professionnal disciplines, and to discover the resonances and dissonances between them.

When institutions were important, the individuals got what suited best for institutions. Everyone got the same stuff. This is NOT the case anymore. The tendency toward carefully segmented and personated marketing is not a disconnected commercial outline. It is a part of the social change of today, in where the single consumer is the skipper.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARKETING FROM ONE DECADE TO ANOTHER

It has been seen that every decade increases one outstanding thought to devices in order to obtain advantage on the market by building-up new ideas and concepts upon old.

1960’s: the focus was in a good product, and keeping the expenses as low as possible. Who could use the mass media, and make an appeal towards a homogenous target group were the winners of the day. Jerome Mc Carthy presented that the marketing-mix is composed of 4-P (product, price, place & promotion).

1970’s: Philip Kotler & Company developed the concept of marketing. Organizations that paid attention to the divergent needs of different market segments made excellent profit.

1980’s: was the time to deliver a sermon about the importance of quality and service. The 80’s was also the time for the marketing of the special sector, and the time of a continually search for smaller client segments. It was even then ‘above- and below the line’ methods were discussed. In the end of the decade thoughts about integrated marketing communication were presented.

1990’s: The development of this decade represented a constant change from mass marketing towards segmented and personated marketing, which identified and accepted the interests of single individuals.

2000’s: The professional marketers have to act in front of continually changing challenges. We’ve to make our agency and media decisions in an environment where the costs are continually expanding.

SICU is looking professionally talented individuals to build-up an amount of SICU Service Cluster teams and think tanks all over the world, who could work together to fulfil the specific needs of single customers - over all thinkable borders, from this very point of time long into the future.
