Is changing to in-house Marketing a good idea or not, for businesses? Before we delve into this, if you didn’t get a chance to read our March Blog Post: ‘Marketing in Uncertain Times: 10 Free Tips’ – it’s well worth a read if you, your business or organisation are wondering whether to: cut back or stop marketing / stick with the current marketing / spend more on marketing.
Pinnacle&Co. takes the time to share this (and other learnings from being in business for 25 years), because it’s big part of the ‘Why’ of our business: to help others succeed.
Changing to in-house Marketing
Weighing up the pros & cons
We understand that in these challenging economic times, the idea of having some or all of your marketing work done in-house can be tempting. However, as advertising professionals, we can’t help but be concerned when we hear about businesses considering this move.
“Whether they’re a client or not, when we hear about a business thinking of doing this, ‘alarm bells’ go off in our minds,” says Phillippa – Pinnacle&Co. owner & founder. “That’s because we’re concerned on their behalf, about the impact it could have on their business.”
At Pinnacle&Co., we have years of experience helping businesses thrive in the ever-changing marketing landscape. As the owner and founder of our company, Phillippa has seen firsthand the impact that a hasty decision to go in-house can have on a business. Meet with us because we have creative ways to work with your budget and make it work for you.
Factors to consider, include:
- Whether the business has people/someone with the skill set, time (and interest!) in taking the extra work on.
- Can they also test, measure, provide reports and analysis?
- Could going in-house, impact productivity negatively, in other areas of the business?
Walking the Talk: will the work that’s needed, actually get done, or on time? Even as an agency ourselves, Pinnacle&Co. had to remind ourselves to carve out time for our own, regular marketing and advertising. We now treat ourselves as a client, set deadlines and prioritise our work too.
So, why work with us!
We work to a proven Pinnacle&Co. formula that takes the guesswork out of marketing, ensuring that you stay visible and onboard with your clients and stand out to potential clients.
