Why is it important for a business to hire an outside ad agency as opposed to having just an internal marketing director?:
We would say the number one reason is that it is cost effective. You only have to spend money when it’s necessary. Another reason is that you are deferring to someone with experience in many different industries. They should be able to tell you the best approaches for your industry compared to others and why. Outside agencies are usually extremely up to date with new technology and other popular trends within the marketing world.
What is one tip that you would give when it comes to digital marketing?:
Patience is key. Like with anything you’re not going to see success overnight. It takes time to develop a working strategy and it will be an ever changing strategy. As technology grows and changes the things you do in the digital marketing world must as well.
