If you are looking to outsource your digital marketing function to an agency, here are some question to ask before signing on the dotted line.

- Ryan Sauer

Digital Marketing is by far the most popular choice for brands looking to reach existing and new customers. The reason why digital media marketing works so well is that it can be tracked, unlike other more traditional above-the-line marketing initiatives like TV, radio or print advertising. However, where it can become pricey is when you spend money on digital media. This spend is used to promote a brand using various digital media platforms like Google, Facebook, or LinkedIn.

The recently released South African Social Media Landscape Report 2021 indicated that whilst the majority of companies surveyed plan to invest in training their current people to improve their digital marketing efforts, there is a notable leap in companies outsourcing this function to specialist digital marketing agencies or consultants.

Since nobody likes to part with hard-earned cash, it is therefore important to carefully consider who you partner with to run your digital media campaign. And to do this one must ask the right questions.
