Let’s face it. Most digital marketing
is formulaic, predictable and
frankly boring BS. Churned out by people either without the skill or the total understanding of
what is required to produce increased revenue opportunities for a business or a client.
Mediocrity, self-proclamation of excellence, obsession with AI, algorithm-chasing, self-congratulations on vanity metrics, have all combined to lead to a general decay. I see companies on this platform say “We’ve increased our visibility” or “We got more traffic to our website”…
Did that deliver more money in the bank, or more leads for you or your clients?
The likely answer is “no” in 99 out of 100 cases.
You’re either relying on your recruiter, or you’ve got some experience in digital marketing or you’ve someone in-house who does. But let’s suppose for a minute:
You gave the brief to the agency based on stereotypes or another ad you saw.
Your agency has people in it who’ve never carried out the discipline(s) you need.
Your limited knowledge guided you to write a (reasonable) brief.
What now?
You get a bunch of candidates.
You interview.
You hire.
…Outcomes are:
1. It works.
2. It don’t.
The latter costs you time effort and money, all around. Also, a likelihood of business disruption.
Firstly: You had by your side a pioneer in digital marketing who's a leader/expert/coach who you could rely on and who could advise you. Secondly: One who could help vet CVs and test digital marketing candidates. Thirdly: One who not only can help you make the right digital marketing hire but who can create an onboarding mechanism. And finally, one who can take the initial abilities of the new hire and upskill them for you.
Your business benefits.
Your Team benefits.
You benefit.
It’s a winner, right?
