Benefits Of An Internal Team Using A Marketing Agency For Ongoing Marketing Support
Time & Talent To Spare
Successful marketing for a company can encompass many different elements such as website design, search engine optimization, online advertising, sales and presentation materials, video development, social media, events, and more. While having a marketing manager or internal marketing team is a great benefit as they understand your business’ products, services, and company goals and culture, there is only so much they can accomplish within their time and skill set.
Some companies even expect that one person should be able to handle all of the company’s marketing alone. Marketing Managers usually have great high-level marketing knowledge and how to manage overall, but typically do not have the high-level skillsets to complete the design and development themselves. Furthermore, if they are swamped with just keeping up with the day-to-day, they do not have the time to keep up with the latest trends and technology available for effective marketing. The combination of these often leaves them feeling the stress of being a jack of all trades but master of none, resulting in sub-par marketing for your business and Marketing Manger burnout. This is where using an agency comes into play to help fill these gaps with our team’s time and talent to allow your team to do what they do best!

What Does An Agency / Internal Team Relationship Look Like?
The relationship between an agency and an internal team is highly variable. The main influencing factors are:
- Budget and goals
- Scope and schedule of the campaigns
- Internal team’s skill set
- Access to SMEs (subject matter experts)
- Communication
Like most businesses, agencies have developed certain structures to make them more efficient. However, PetroPages knows how to adapt our structure to mesh with a client’s internal team to create the most productive working relationship.
The ideal relationship begins with agreement on company goals and objectives and definition of deliverables to accomplish those objectives. From there, we organize those deliverables into specific tasks that are then allocated between our team and the internal team based on time and skillset needed. Once our team has a clear definition of its tasks, we allocate resources and define the areas where we will need input from SMEs or other internal team members. Your dedicated Marketing Strategist will then have ongoing communication with internal contacts to help manage project progress and make adjustments based on any company needs that may arise, such as introduction of new product, upcoming event or change in project priorities.
