Know what you want to accomplish
This might seem like the obvious first step, but it’s the most important part of hiring outside services. If you don’t know what you want to accomplish, there’s no reason to reach out to an agency. Write a list of the things you want your company to accomplish and where you want to be in the next 6-12 months. Even if you don’t have a concrete, tangible idea of what your company needs to do, a marketing agency can help you decide on your next steps.
Learn about their services
Next, you need to learn exactly what the marketing agency offers. If you’re looking at a couple of different agencies, compare their services against each other to find exactly what you need. Not two marketing agencies are alike, so you need to understand who offers what. For instance, don’t hire a marketing agency that doesn’t develop websites if that’s something you might need. Knowing about their services isn’t just to compare them to other agencies; it reveals a lot about the kind of company they are. Depending on what they offer, some agencies might have a more creative side to their approach, whereas other agencies use a formal, corporate approach. Take stock of their culture and what they create to determine whether they would be a good fit for your projects.
Look at their track record
Consistency is an important trait in an outsourced marketing agency. Since they are an outsourced team, they don’t have the same inside perspective of your company as you do. Looking at their track record with other brands will tell you how consistent their work is. You don’t want to hire anyone that puts the same spin on each project without taking the details and identity of the brand into consideration. You need an agency that puts the identity and DNA of your brand first.
