Making the decision to hire a digital marketing agency is easy. The hard part is to decide which digital marketing agency to hire. In this fast-paced world, any individual having an internet connection can create a website and begin providing services as an entrepreneur. The hurdles to entry are slim to none. That is why choosing the right digital marketing agency is quite tricky.
However, there are a few things that can help simplify the decision-making process. This article covers what to look for, things to avoid, and how to make the most of the hired digital marketing agency.
The foremost thing is knowing your goals and desired outcomes. Every business is different and every digital marketing agency is also different. The specialisation areas of digital marketing agencies are usually one or two. And while so many of them are ‘full-service’, they typically prefer projects within their specialty. Therefore, the first and foremost step in choosing the best digital marketing agency is to understand your goals and what you want to achieve by working with one. You can break this down into deliverables, the goal of those deliverables, and the outcome you hope to achieve. Knowing all this will help you in communicating what you are exactly looking to get out of the project. When an agency knows what you are looking for, then without wasting anyone’s time, it knows if it can actually help you or not.
Here are some examples to make it clearer:
Example #1: A company blog that works automatically
Imagine you are willing to hire an agency that can help you develop a content marketing system. Eventually, you want a blog that runs continuously on autopilot with no work required by you.
• Deliverable- a fully-managed content marketing plan, strategy, and system
• Goal- to attract more of the right visitors to your website having high-quality content
• End result- a blog 100 per cent managed by someone else
After this, you can start looking for companies that suit the requirements because you know exactly what you want and how to communicate the desired result.
Example #2: Coaching your team on viral videos
Pretend you are willing to create a series of marketing videos for your social media accounts and your website but you do not know how to do it or from where to begin. You are looking for someone to train you through the whole process.
• Deliverable- a series of on-brand marketing videos and matching visual assets
• Goal- to communicate your new offer in a fun and engaging way for your audience
• End result- a finished product and the know-how required to do it on your own
From here, you can actively search for a digital marketing agency that can coach you through it.
Now, you can actively look for digital marketing agencies that are willing to coach you through it. Not all video marketing agencies can do this as coaching is more hands-on. You can find the right fit for you because you clearly know what you want.
You don’t want to go through the disappointment of hiring a digital marketing agency that cannot or will not deliver you what you are really looking for. Therefore, it is very much important to know and communicate your goals and desired outcomes before hiring anyone.
