Advertising is a massive industry, just north off $500 billion worldwide to be exact.  This is due to the need to constantly capture the attention of new and old customers in order to continue growing your business.  Many businesses believe they can still handle all of their marketing needs in house, without a dedicated team managing their marketing.  This comes from an underlying fear of giving up control of a creative and very important aspect of your company.  Fortunately, Media Monkey’s expertise in the field of marketing will help you grow your business.

Here are a few recommended steps when searching for an advertising agency to help boost your business.

Know what an ad agency does – Many people think that it is an ad agencies job to sell their products.  However, an ad agency is responsible for pushing a marketing message out to a target audience that best fits the product and/or service being sold.  This process can take time, especially in an industry with longer sales cycles.

Make sure we understand your goals – We can help your company grow best by knowing your goals and your business plan.  By understanding your company’s target audience, products, history, and long term goals, we can create a plan that best fits your company’s culture and needs.

Determine your marketing budget – All too often clients ask agencies to develop a budget with zero input from the client.  A strong marketing budget should be created by analyzing the industry’s standards and developing a budget best suited to the size of your company.

Know what your brand represents – Marketing typically appeals to basic human needs (such as self-esteem, fear, sex, general needs, comfort, etc.) to motivate a customer to buy a product.  The key to this is to choose a method that best suits your product and target audience in order to draw them in and create a desire for your product.
