Is It Worth It to Hire a Digital Marketing Agency?

In today’s fast-paced digital world, the question, “Is it worth it to hire a digital marketing agency?” often comes up. Whether you’re a Marketing Director, Business Owner, or CEO, this decision can significantly impact your business’s growth and success. Let’s explore why partnering with a digital marketing agency might be the game-changer you need.

Expertise and Experience

Digital marketing agencies bring a wealth of expertise and experience to the table. With a team of professionals specializing in various aspects of digital marketing, from SEO and content creation to social media management and PPC campaigns, they offer a level of knowledge and skill that is hard to match internally.

Why waste time and resources on trial and error when you can leverage the proven strategies of experts?

Cost-Effective and Time-Saving

Many business leaders think hiring a digital marketing agency is expensive. However, consider the cost of recruiting, training, and maintaining an in-house team. Additionally, the time you save can be redirected toward core business activities.

Isn’t it smarter to invest in a team that can deliver results quickly and efficiently? Plus, hiring a digital marketing agency will cost about the same as hiring a single qualified employee and you have an entire team of professionals working for you rather and just one employee.

Access to Cutting-Edge Tools and Technologies

Digital marketing agencies have access to the latest tools and technologies. These resources enable them to execute strategies more effectively and provide insights through advanced analytics.

Wouldn’t it be beneficial to have access to technology that can give you a competitive edge?

Fresh Perspective and Innovation

An external agency provides a fresh perspective on your business. They bring innovative ideas and strategies that you might not have considered. This outside viewpoint can be invaluable in identifying opportunities and tackling challenges creatively.

Can you afford to miss out on fresh, innovative ideas that can propel your business forward?

Scalability and Flexibility

One of the significant advantages of hiring a digital marketing agency is scalability. Whether you want to ramp up your marketing efforts or scale down during slower periods, an agency can adjust its services to meet your needs.

Enhanced Focus on Your Core Business

By entrusting your digital marketing to experts, you free up valuable time and resources to focus on what you do best—running your business. This enhanced focus can lead to improved efficiency and growth.

Measurable Results

Digital marketing agencies are results-driven. They set clear goals and use key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure success. With regular reports and updates, you’ll always know the impact of your marketing efforts.

Conclusion

In the end, the decision to hire a digital marketing agency boils down to one question:

Do you want to elevate your business with expert-driven, innovative, and flexible marketing strategies?

If your answer is yes, partnering with a digital marketing agency is a worthwhile investment. With their expertise, cutting-edge tools, and fresh perspectives, they can transform your digital marketing efforts, drive growth, and help you achieve your business goals.

Empathetic marketing during the quarantine

When a cultural moment pivots as dramatically as it has in the last few months of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s imperative that your company reacts with tact and empathy – as you position your brand to help.

Needless to say, that’s going to require a lot of poise and nuanced communication. So how to begin? What should you do?READ MORE

What’s on your back burner?

When managing a company is your responsibility, a lot of important detail work gets put on the back burner.

So what’s simmering on your back burner?

Updating your web site with fresh page content?
Better utilizing social media?
Updating the navigation of your site?
Making sure your web site if properly protected?
Preparing trade show materials for your soon-to-be-released product?

Or maybe it’s larger than that. Perhaps what you don’t have the time or energy left to do is revamp your marketing strategy to bring in new business.

Interestingly, what’s relegated to your back burner can have a huge impact on the very thing that’s stressing you out right now. Such as your last quarter ROI.

That’s because when your marketing is taken care of strategically with a practiced eye towards your industry, your job gets a little less intense as your ideal customers begin to take notice of what your company can actually provide to them.

What you do

Carve out a 90 minutes to meet with us when the time is right for you. Tell us what you don’t have the time or the people to do, and what results you’d like to see. Give us your parameters, financial and otherwise.

What we do

When you say go, we do the work, providing you with feedback, details and a few fine-tuning decisions along the way. We don’t make assumptions. We research your niche and come up with several positioning approaches that tell your story to the right people — in a compelling and memorable way. We also adjust to your budget and your timeframe.

What we do is eye-opening. Don’t be surprised if we uncover a few fascinating things about your own rapidly shifting marketplace that raise your eyebrows. Or help you determine how your company can make the most of its sweet spot through well-placed ads in carefully researched places you may not even be aware of.

It all starts with a 90 minute meeting.

Say when.

In 3… 2… 1…

You’ve got less than 5 seconds to pique someone’s interest enough to click on your link.

The first few sentences of any presentation determine whether your idea gets heard.

Studies show that each of us has to connect on some level with any new idea or product at least three times before we are willing to give it a chance with our pocketbook.

How does the information above square with your marketing campaign?

Here are basic questions to ask before you launch any new marketing campaign:

What need does this fulfill?
Are there typos?
Is the idea sexy?
Is the design compelling?
Is it this offer too good to be true?

You can’t blame your prospects for ignoring you. You’ve got to know the game and cut to the chase differently, faster, and most importantly, memorably.

Stand apart from the crowd in a way that is memorable. And timely. Then you will be heard above the fray.

What can we learn from our competitors?

The answer is quite a lot.

Your competitor is not your enemy. He’s an educational opportunity just waiting to broaden your horizons.

Chances are great that your competitors do all kinds of things you can learn from. If your competitor frequently hires staff out from under you, for example, find out why. What benefits do they offer that you don’t? Ditto for the people that you’ve tried to hire away from them. Ask why they chose to stay, even if you offered them more.

Ask yourself:

What does your competition do they do better than you? And how do they get it right?
How and where do they market their services?
What are the best decisions your competitor or your predecessor made recently?
What do they do or make that you could produce better?

It’s always a good idea to pay attention to your competition in an open minded way. It’s easy to get in a rut with insider thinking. Looking at the way your competition does things can unlock new ways of thinking and open doors to biases you didn’t even know you had.

See the Fork First

More than a few famous poets, authors and songwriters have waxed poetic about the point along the road where one has to decide which direction to take.

At FocalPoint, we think the key to making the best decision about the road less travelled, the road not taken, or the fork in the road is NOT the crucial part of your journey. We think that first you have to SEE the fork, and recognize it for what it is.

That’s a huge thing in marketing and communications strategy. Many, many organizations misstep by failing to see that there is a critical decision to be made at a particular juncture — and do not understand the importance of the fork in the road.

How does one develop the insight to take the right path? At FocalPoint we set out these reminders for ourselves:

Stay focused on shifting currents
Be open to change and stay nimble
Be accessible and approachable
Consult with others and listen
Understand the way it always was is not the way it is

Recognizing the significant, life-altering twists in your company’s path is difficult. It helps having a company by your side to help you anticipate change.

Together, we can decide which new direction to take to forge ahead.
