Getting Creative in an Outsourced World

Here’s something you already know – the digital age has massively disrupted the agency model. We think it’s a good thing. Yes, businesses addressing targeted market niches and discrete consumer segments need experienced creative pros and specialized expertise (not to mention responsive and detail-oriented account management). But, obviously, there’s no room for high overhead and heavy admin footprints. Even the world’s most powerful consumer marketers seek agile teams and call on individual resources who can drop in to solve specific problems, contribute to rebranding programs and ensure consistent, high-efficiency outputs for specific channels or campaigns.

That’s why a largely outsourced, agency-on-demand model makes sense. Think Marketing-as-a-Service. With most attractive cost-to-deliverable models and the opportunity for big wins across a relationship lifecycle.

Our Agency on Demand model reflects this new marcom reality. It’s structured for long-term performance and near-term productivity. How it works:

  • Invest in the expertise you need – a dedicated team fully informed about your business and plans aligned to your objectives, budgets and culture
  • Closely link necessary foundational elements (e.g., strategic plans, rebranding programs, messaging architectures) to execution
  • Establish a steady tempo of standard marketing activity and deliverables – site + social updates, blogs, signature + standard content
  • Retain “scale-up” flexibility with access to specialized resources – when business or demand cycles mean it’s time for more content, targeted campaigns or special deliverables
  • Get steady service and cost predictability across quarters – most attractive fee-to-productivity ratios

We’ve done some of our best and favorite work by building long-term relationships with results-oriented clients seeking breakthroughs in ultra-competitive and/or niche sectors.

The agency-of-record model is dead (and has been for a while, actually). Long live the agency-on-demand model.
