About Ultimate Edge Communications:

Ultimate Edge Communications (UEC) was founded in Sydney in 2014 by Aleisha McCall, winner of B&T's "Top 30 under 30" in Media award and former international figure skating champion. Aleisha's champion mindset, energy, and enthusiasm form the foundation that has empowered the UEC team to exceed expectations and achieve market-beating results across multiple industries in both B2B and B2C sectors.

We distinguish ourselves from other marketing agencies by operating as a consultancy that fully integrates across the four dimensions of communications: media, creative design, marketing automation, and intelligence. This integrated approach is how we achieve market-beating results.

Our Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is:

"We're relentless trailblazers on the leading edge, delivering fully integrated data-driven media, creative design, and marketing automation & intelligence by intimately collaborating with high-growth brands seeking long-lasting market-beating results from an infectiously passionate team."

UEC's client value proposition begins with expert media buying, which involves establishing a strategic balance between traditional offline and digital media spending. Once the budget allocation is defined, we proceed with the tactical deployment of funds across selected channels to optimise target market reach, setting the stage for everything that follows.

The second step is to create design elements tailored to each channel, ensuring optimal conversions and coherent brand reinforcement. The collaboration and synchronization of media and creative design contribute to UEC's superior performance compared to other agencies and internal marketing departments.

Building on this momentum, the third element integrates lead generation and client acquisition activities to create a cohesive customer journey that leads to higher conversion rates. This is made possible through sophisticated automated workflows that enhance the customer experience, reduce attrition, and substantially improve customer satisfaction, ultimately reducing operational costs. While UEC focuses on media, sales, and marketing, the systemization of multiple customer journeys leads to organizational improvements and benefits from economies of scale, enabling clients to grow rapidly without significant additional human resources.

Embracing cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, heuristics, predictive modeling, and data analytics, is the final piece of the puzzle in producing market-beating ROI results. This involves creating a self-reinforcing feedback loop that applies highly sophisticated mathematics and statistical techniques to optimize all moving components. Through this process, we manage, monitor, and adjust each variable in harmony to maximize profits at minimal cost while maintaining the highest quality and brand integrity.
