If you are ready to shift your marketing department to an outsourced option like a digital marketing West Palm Beach agency, Bulldog is here for you. There are a lot of things to thing about – and it is important to evaluate what you are looking for and what to avoid. Before hiring a full team to take over your marketing channels, you must understand the agency. You also must look at your own business and where you want to go – both short term and long term. There are specific traits and skills you will want from your new digital agency. But there are also some things that will be red flags to avoid.
An agency that claims they specialize in all things marketing is suspicious. Normally the best agencies will tell you what they are best at, service-wise. If they tell you they are the best at everything, they are lying to you. There is a difference between a generalist and an agency that is full-service. Full-service means there are different service teams and specialists for each task so communication is streamlined.
This con speaks for itself – a team that is inexperience cannot provide high-level service. Agencies that understand you and your goals also understand the industry and the market.
Always be weary of any agency or options that sounds like it is too good to be true. Most likely, it is. It is highly unlikely that they can solve all your marketing problems immediately. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, so it is important to remember that long-term success trumps all.
It is important to evaluate roles in the agency that is about to handle your digital marketing. Feeling out the people and their character is a big part of this as well. It is all about the right fit. Even if they might be the best digital marketing agency in the world, if they do not mesh well with your internal team or your culture it will not work.
Seeing the portfolio of clients an agency has worked with can help add credibility to assist your decision making in this process. Past work examples can be a massive help to see what exactly that agency can provide.
It may be cliché, but communication is key. Bulldog Marketing will always be transparent and open when communicating with you. This is valuable as some agencies stop sending updates and monthly reporting. We ensure that you are always aware of our work and that you see the results, or the changes when results are not there.
