Following on from an awesome 2011 (topped off by taking home B&T’s Digital Agency of the Year Award late last year), here at Visual Jazz we are absolutely thrilled to announce that in 2012 Visual Jazz will join forces with one of the world’s biggest communications agencies, Isobar.

With both agencies positioned as industry leaders in digital creative, the merger of Visual Jazz and Isobar combines the best in digital strategy and concepting, and positions us as one of the top digital creative agencies in Australia. You’ll start to notice new branding appearing on all of our work in the near future, but never fear – you’ll still be able to find us (and our avatars) on our website.

So who is Isobar, and what does this merger mean for Visual Jazz?

Isobar was founded by Aegis Media in 2003, and is home to 2,400 staff in 50 offices across 34 countries. With headquarters in London, Isobar is ranked as the second largest digital agency in the world, and global clients include power brands such as adidas, Nokia, Coca-Cola, Fiat and Nikon.

Isobar is home to 2,400 staff in 50 offices across 34 countries.

With similar skill sets across creative, planning, technology and measurement, Isobar strives to bring people and brands together using innovative digital communications – exactly what we do here at Visual Jazz. The Australian Isobar office (currently based in Sydney) will join our Sydney Visual Jazz team, and the newly formed Visual Jazz Isobar will continue to work from our offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra and will continue to be led by Managing Director, Konrad Spilva. With over 180 staff nationally, this will make us one of the biggest Isobar offices globally.

Say hi to Visual Jazz Isobar

Visual Jazz Isobar will bring our clients the best of both agencies – the strategic and creative smarts of both, bolstered by the global resources and knowledge bank of the broader Isobar network.

The merging of Visual Jazz and Isobar has us all pretty excited, and we can’t wait to create even more outstanding work under our new name, while still bringing you the Visual Jazz values that you know and love.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call – we’ll give you all the ins and outs. And keep an eye out for our fresh new branding, coming soon to a Visual Jazz Isobar project near you!
