3 Proven Reasons to Outsource Your Marketing to a Digital Marketing Agency

Melody Jaimon • June 14, 2021

Have you thought about getting an in-house team to take care of your organisation’s digital marketing needs? Or maybe you’ve been thinking about handling the tasks on your own?


We have a favourite saying here at Love My Online Marketing: ‘You can do anything, but not everything’.


To help you cope with this responsibility, you can either hire more staff and keep it in-house – or you can outsource the work to an agency. 


Digital marketing is very crucial to the growth of any modern-day business, especially since we are currently facing a digital revolution. It is proven to be highly effective at acquiring new customers as well as maintaining relationships with existing customers.


However, digital marketing is not as easy as it may seem. It is a task that involves a lot of processes, some of which are incredibly complex. This includes writing quality articles and blog posts, running and monitoring social media channels, building foundational links, sending out email marketing campaigns, and so on.


So when it comes to digital marketing, it totally makes sense to have a dedicated team or individual whose primary function is to help grow your business by running marketing strategies. 


The question now is should you hire an in-house digital marketing team or outsource the work to an agency? 

If you ask us, our answer will be the latter – to outsource the work to a digital marketing agency. Let us explain why.

Why Outsource to a Marketing Agency?

Outsourcing is More Cost-Effective

For starters, it’s more expensive to have dedicated staff members. You have to pay for super, wages, holiday pay, sick pay, etc.


To give you a better idea, here’s a list of specialists you’ll find when you go to a marketing company:

  • Google Certified Professionals
  • Content Writers
  • E-Mail Marketing Specialist
  • SEO Specialists
  • Graphic Designers
  • Website Designers
  • Website Developers
  • Social Media Account Manager


Could you imagine what your operating expenses would look like if you hire all of these specialists in-house? Although you may be able to find someone who specialises in multiple areas, the odds of finding a professional who is capable of doing it all is nearly impossible. 


And even if you do find a “jack-of-all-trades” type of pro, there is no guarantee of the quality of work produced. You’d be better off hiring a specialist for each role to ensure the best outcome for your campaigns.

Outsourcing Ensures Quality Results

Outsourcing the work to a digital marketing agency guarantees quality results. We’re talking about a company that makes money doing just that, so obviously they possess the knowledge, expertise and resources to deliver outstanding results.


Other than that, digital marketing is an ever-evolving climate. Digital marketing agencies always need to be up to date with the latest trends and best practices to avoid being overtaken by their competitors. This means that when you work with an established digital marketing agency, your marketing campaigns are sure to be effective.


This also means that if you get an in-house team for your digital marketing, you will constantly have to put your team through training and courses just to ensure the effectiveness of your campaigns. Otherwise, the results of your digital marketing will be lacklustre.

Outsourcing Brings a Good Outside Perspective

When you work inside a company, you become institutionalised - meaning you cannot see from a potential customer’s perspective. 


That is why it’s good to have outsiders do some digital marketing work for your organisation, as they could potentially be your customers. This means they will be able to see the marketing and strategies from what a customer would like to see or have answered. 


They will also not hesitate to give you advice that goes against your existing status quo. This means they will objectively look at your brand and advise you on the best course of action for your marketing campaigns.


To put things simply, an outsourced team can offer fresh thoughts and ideas that could be beneficial to your marketing strategy.

How Do I Find the Right Marketing Agency?

Finding the right marketing agency requires due diligence and research. There are a lot of pop-up agencies at the moment, so we would suggest doing heaps of research before you make a decision. 


Start by reading reviews and checking whether the reviews are real or fake. Then find out what year they were established, how many people work for them, and what they specialise in. 


Years in business is important because the more experienced agencies have more knowledge and resources than the new ones. 



The number of people that work for them is also worth looking at because the more employees they have, the likelier they are to have specialists in each niche of the online world. 


Finally, finding out what their specialisation will help you determine whether they are the right agency for your needs.
