❓ So, how to know where your marketing money goes? Should you outsource to a marketing agency or build an in-house team? How can you optimize your ROI and always hit the right spots?

Let’s break it down.

Cost

Building an in-house team isn’t just expensive but time-consuming. Recruiting, onboarding, training, and covering salaries adds up fast. And that’s before you even see results.

Outsourcing, on the other hand, is predictable. Agency fees cover all operational costs, and scaling up doesn’t require hiring new staff—it’s as simple as adjusting your service package.

Expertise

Marketing is a group job. Recruiting, onboarding, training, and covering salaries adds up fast. And that’s before you even see results. Also, note that a solo marketer in your startup isn’t going to cut it.

With an agency, you get all these specialists without the overhead of salaries, benefits, or onboarding. It’s instant access to expertise that might take years to develop in-house.

Results

Agencies deliver faster results because they already know what works.

With tried-and-true strategies and detailed tracking, they can pinpoint what’s driving ROI and adjust quickly. This granular approach ensures you’re investing in what brings the best return.
