Welcome.
Marketing Logic is a strategic marketing consultancy specialising in client engagement, strategy development and implementation.
About us
Headed by Founding Director, Vivienne Corcoran, the Marketing Logic team comprises an extensive network of Australian and international strategists, researchers, marketing managers, designers, writers, creative directors, advertising agencies, PR companies and web designers from which we can assemble the right team for each client job. This network also allows us to exponentially expand the team to meet demand.
We have been successfully marketing Australian and international businesses for more than 25 years. During that time we have been instrumental in changing major brand identities, their market places and in helping clients win awards for their service delivery.
In assisting our clients we assess the organisation to determine its structural and cultural dynamics and the current state and progress of its marketing and business development. This initial review then forms the background to a plan of work that maximises business outcomes.

Testimonials
Vivienne recently conducted a number of client interviews on our behalf to enable us to gain a more in-depth understanding of emerging challenges for our clients in a particular sector. Vivienne provided prompt reports following each interview, and included valuable recommendation on next steps and solutions.
We greatly benefited from Vivienne’s energy and insights, and her ability to quickly synthesise key themes. Viv gently challenged us and drew on her wisdom and experience to help us articulate strategic implications of her work, going well beyond the basic brief.
For this reason, we have continued to return to Vivienne over many years for these critical sector insights and we have confidence that she understands our business and our markets and always brings a fresh perspective to our thinking.
In the same way that we strive to be, Viv is a client-centred professional, who adds significant value to our business and who aligns herself with our objectives and priorities.
Cecelia Irvine-So, Practice Leader, Moores
Vivienne came to our business at a time when we were extremely busy and changing direction in response to client demands. Vivienne's strategic, board and business experience brought discipline and focus to a stretched management team. As a result, the business continued to grow strongly but with purpose and direction. On top of her strategic input, Vivienne was able to roll her sleeves up and provide much needed hands on marketing to help us achieve our goals.
Marcus Simkin, CEO, Myriad IT
The Little Athletics Australia (LAA) Board has for some time considered the need to update the organisation's governance structure. Vivienne has provided us with wise counsel and assistance in reviewing our governance structures and Constitution including assisting us with the attraction, selection and recruitment of our first independent directors. Vivienne's governance knowledge and experience have made a valuable contribution to the LAA Board.

Julie McCormack, Manager Clinical Training Unit, Dental Health Services Victoria
I asked Vivienne to come and work with our partnership to help identify and implement new pathways for growth. Vivienne’s experience with professional firms meant she was able to come to grips with the partnership, the teams and the individuals quickly and gain their attention and respect. She brought our leadership team together to agree on a strategic action plan, and has since developed and delivered training focused on Working in Teams, Managing Teams and Business Development and Client Engagement. The partnership group and the firm are now very clear on what is needed for us to grow and thrive.
David King, CEO, Robertson Hyetts Solicitors
Vivienne has been a major driver of our client service program. She has developed, gained support for and implemented client service initiatives across the firm. The client listening, feedback and service programs Vivienne developed are now an integral part of our business and a major driver of service improvement in our firm.

Stewart Bunn, National Communications Manager,
First National Real Estate
When you hire experience you want it to be presented when necessary and Vivienne does so with near perfect empathy. By sharing what is needed and why she helps everyone improve. Where she shines is in bringing her experience and the client's business needs together. Never is Vivienne, "I'm the expert and you'll follow me". Rather, "I have expertise I think you'll benefit from. Let me help you to understand."
David Buchan, General Manager, MGR Accountants
Marketing Logic worked closely with us by re-engineering product and services profiles and the selection and change of name to HEALTH IQ. They provided straightforward and honest advice, and an external view which helped put our ideas into perspective. The “makeover” has increased awareness in the marketplace of our extensive health knowledge and experience – it has worked very well. Marketing Logic played a key role in driving this change.
Robert Gluth, Sales Manager, HEALTH IQ
We decided to launch a new enterprise from our business and were looking for assistance in understanding and defining how to take it to market. Based on our long relationship with Vivienne Corcoran, we engaged Marketing Logic to assist us. Vivienne and her team brought their excellent knowledge of marketing but also their specific expertise in professional and consulting services to bear on the job. In an extremely short period of time, they were able to deliver us a strategic marketing plan complete with detailed actions and tools. The plan was not only prompt but both practical and insightful. Marketing Logic were creative, challenging and fun to work with.
