Why working with an agency is wise.

We’ve heard it all. Every reason you may think an agency partnership is not right for your business. With decades of experience and many satisfied clients, we know the truth. Let us lay out why it actually is right for you.

1. It will free up your time.
If you think working with an agency will add more to your plate, you’d be wrong.
Having an agency partner will actually free up your time. Sure, there’s a period in the beginning where we’re learning about your business and processes, but once that’s done, we present a clear-cut strategy with specific tactics (that you approve), and we get to work implementing it. And anytime you’re bogged down with new initiatives or media reps calling you, you can easily hand them off to us to handle. We’ll take care of the details and legwork, so you’re free to think about all the other things your business requires.
2. We tackle what you don’t have time to.

Somewhere you probably have a list of ideas and initiatives you’d like to implement but never have time to get to. We can take on all those things that you can’t find time for. And if you think there’s not enough work for a full-service agency, you’d be wrong. In all our years working with clients of varying sizes, we’ve never run out of work to do because there’s always something in the future to be working toward. And not only do we have a year-long plan in place to guide us, but we’re always proposing innovative ideas and initiatives to grow your business. Plus, things pop up all the time that you need help with, and we’re here to pass those off to.

3. We’re more economical & reliable than freelancers.
Maybe you’ve considered hiring freelancers to do what needs to be done. You could. But do you really have time to find, vet, and interview each one of them? Finding a copywriter, designer, web strategist, developer, and all the others you’ll need isn’t easy and takes a lot of time — and money. But we have the core staff to handle anything you need — and on the rare occasion we don’t, we have a large network of reliable talent to call on. From photographers to printers to video editors, we have people right at our fingertips. And as your long-term partner, we don’t need you to get us up to speed like you would if you were working with a freelancer; we’re already there and knowledgeable about your business.
4. All the talent and skill are on one team.
Let’s be honest. One person is never enough to do all the things — especially if you want your marketing and advertising done well. A copywriter won’t have the design skills or technical knowledge that an art director does (even though they may say they do). A project manager won’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of the ever-changing digital landscape. When you compare the cost of hiring a full-time person to the cost of bringing in an agency partner, you’ll find an agency gets you far more for far less, including all the skilled talent in one place.
5. It’s more cost efficient than hiring internal staff.
Hiring an internal team with all the capabilities, knowledge, and experience of an agency will cost far more than having an agency partner. Think about all the people you would need to hire, train, and pay to do the work an agency can. Bringing a project manager, copywriter, graphic designer, and digital expert (to name just a few) on board will cost you more than a monthly agency retainer. We have an experienced team ready and able to help grow your business and grow with you.
6. We see things you can’t.
If you think an agency is just another vendor you don’t have time to deal with, think again. A good agency is more than a vendor. We’re a partner that learns the intricacies of your business. A team that is invested in your growth and success. An experienced group of professionals who can consult, make recommendations, and execute with very little direction. Best of all, we are not as ingrained in the day-to-day minutia you are — so we can see things in an entirely new way and from a completely different perspective.

Why we’re the perfect partner.

Ridiculously invested.

Strong, honest relationships are the backbone of our business. We work with our clients — not just for them — and become trusted partners who provide guidance, advice, insight, and endless ideas, all designed to help their business. Every member of our team is deeply invested in our clients’ success and acts as a steward of the brand, budget, and business.

“Before hiring Know Advertising, our marketing efforts were shortsighted. Our brand was forgettable. We asked Know Advertising to develop and execute on a forward-thinking brand strategy to help us stand out in a highly commoditized space. They delivered. The quality of their work will benefit our company for years to come.”
