HOW TO SPOT A GOOD DIGITAL MARKETING AGENCY?

Digital marketing agencies are growing enormously, as it is a fertile ground where everyone wants to start sowing their fruits. The competition is tough and when we require the services of one of these agencies, we find ourselves with a wide catalog, but how do we recognize a good marketing agency?

In this section we want to give you some of the details and characteristics that professional agencies have, such as Online Optimization, who comply with all these points and show them to you so that you can convince yourself that we are your best option.

1.- Specialists in digital communication.

First and most important point, you cannot call yourself a digital agency if you do not have full knowledge of this market, you must also have ROI (return on investment) as a priority.

2.- Knowledge of the service offered.

It is obvious that a digital agency must perfectly control all the knowledge required to carry out a digital market strategy, if not, run away from that place and look for a real agency. You must also know and analyze the client’s product or service, make it your own and perfectly understand all its possibilities and uses, in order to create an impact marketing strategy.

3.-Planning

Each step that the agency takes to create the marketing strategy must be perfectly planned and put on paper, as well as presented to the client to be sure that they are satisfied and in agreement with the plan.

The needs of the client, the product or service, the budget, the type of clients it is aimed at, and the time in which it is planned to finish the strategy and begin the advertising campaign must be clear.

4.-Team of professionals.

An agency that wants to call itself as such must have a great team of professionals who know their work perfectly. These must be specialists in digital advertising and personnel in charge of the administrative and business area. It is important that they separate the creative area from the area. Ultimately, this is the only way to achieve perfect synchronicity and a very successful result.

The agency must have designers, copies, editors, programmers, writers, systems analysts, traffickers, administrative and marketing staff, account executives, in short, a whole group of experts ready to make you grow. It is common for companies to go to digital marketing agencies because the costs are lower than hiring their own core team, the advantages are enormous, since the service has advice and monitoring, and you can always go to them when you need new strategies. without having to pay a constant salary.

As we mentioned previously, agencies are growing by the bucketload, but only those that manage to survive are able to face the challenges that the digital environment has for them, and these are some of the challenges that digital marketing agencies have faced this year :

Every day new media emerge, or existing ones are reinvented, a trend so changing that it requires professionals from digital marketing agencies to carry out continuous research and new strategies to guarantee the impact of the campaign. It is necessary that they know the tastes of customers, purchasing and information trends, the use that surfers give to technology and how they interact with it, all of this to know how to attack and be seen by potential customers.

As we mentioned previously, the team must be made up of professionals; they are the ones who must make the decision about what strategy to implement. It is good to have people on the team who will learn the trade through training, but it should not be the majority, since they must be prepared and ready to face any challenge in the best way and guarantee the success of the strategy. Everyone must be constantly updating themselves, as information and challenges are constantly changing, so not having accurate information in mind is a danger that no agency should run.
Knowing the trends of social media users is essential to create the best advertising strategy. These also change constantly and what was trending yesterday goes unnoticed today and causes, in the words of the consumers themselves, laziness. So that you are not late to the trends of the moment you must be glued to the networks and detect in time what will become the new trend, it is not good for you to be late to the show because you will go unnoticed.
The forms of communication and language change constantly, although the language is the same, the way in which the public communicates does change, you must know the new emojis and memes, the media that are most used, the fashionable applications and the age of potential consumers, since the use of these communication tools also depends on it.

If a digital marketing agency does not have creativity, it is lost, since not only must it handle all communication platforms perfectly, but also knowing new trends is not everything; If they do not know how to take advantage of this technology in an original and highly creative way, it will be of no use.

 

In a world where constant sensory stimuli are needed, a campaign without digital marketing  is destined to fail.

 

Digital marketing agencies that do not meet these requirements or are not ready to face such challenges could hardly offer you a service that guarantees success. At Online Optimization we extremely comply with each point, so we are definitely your best option for a successful digital strategy.
