Advertising Antics: Finding the Best Agency

Your company isn’t going to start at Fortune 500 level. Small businesses have a tough time juggling many responsibilities as they get started. In order to be the best agency or business you can, you really have to be a jack-of-all-trades. For some it pays off and for others unfortunately it doesn’t. For those who weather the storm their business growth will demand many changes, each with a new set of challenges. The first is probably choosing when to accumulate more employees. Can you afford to divide your profits between one more person? One of these “people” will quite possibly end up being an advertising agency, and you’ll need to find the best one for you, without breaking bank.

Granted it’s become easier with social media to get your name out there but still advertising takes up time and the best agency for your business is not always easy to find. When you take that leap into outsourcing other companies to do your work then you know your company is on the right track, but what should you look for in an ad agency that will best suit your needs. Here are a few guidelines to help you make that decision.

The Price is Wrong

No one wants to employ an agency that’s going to do a mediocre job just because you’re a relatively small company. The best agency, whether it is a PR, Design, Marketing, Digital or Ad agency is one whose service benefits as equally as yours does. On top of that, if they’re enthusiastic about the challenge ahead of them then that’s a good sign that they might just be the best agency for you.

Past Participants

It’s obviously best to have a look at a perspective agency’s portfolio before you begin considering them. It’s also good to take your research a step further by checking with companies that have made use of the agency before. Best result is that they are honest with their feedback and it correlates to the agency’s service offerings and previous content.

Self Service

One of the biggest challenges when seeking the best agency for you is to make sure they offer the fully integrated services that you require, and will potentially require in the future. You do want to build a relationship with your agency and it’s not the best-case scenario if you have to switch to another agency down the line when you require services that your current agency does not offer.

When it comes to advertising, finding the best agency for your company as it grows in stature is not an easy task, but there are a few key elements to consider before you set off on your search. It’s an intimate relationship at that level and you need to be ready to make that commitment.
