The benefits of Managed Marketing – what’s not to love!

It keeps you focused on what you do best

We take care of the details, you take care of the big picture. With managed marketing services, you don’t need to worry about hiring marketing staff, managing day-to-day deadlines, or updating your website. Moreover, our experienced team will help you set long-term and short-term objectives and deliver everything you need and more! Just set the direction and enjoy the ride.

It costs less

Depending on your budget and marketing scale, managed marketing services can cost less than hiring one full-time resource. And we know how hard it is to hire one person who is good at everything. Instead, for the same investment, you get a team of senior-level strategists, designers, developers, and writers managing your ongoing marketing needs. We keep your organization top of mind, proactively plan your marketing strategy, and deliver small and large projects on a monthly basis.

It makes more sense

Marketing is a holistic discipline. Rather than tackling your marketing needs one project at a time, with managed marketing services, we integrate all your marketing channels for you. For example, when your organization wins an award, just let us know. We will showcase it on your website, write a blog post, update collateral, do several social media blasts, and create an email series. By keeping all your marketing channels
ticking in unison, we give you maximum impact with minimum effort on your part.

It’s flexible

We know how fluid and fast-paced marketing can be, so we are always open to changes of direction and new priorities. There are no locked-in contracts and, depending on your needs each month, we will maximize your ROI by focusing on the highest impact activities. For example, this month, we may use most of your budget towards revamping your website for an upcoming product launch, and next month may be all about content and social media engagement.

It keeps your marketing fresh

We make sure to stay up to date on new technologies, approaches, and trends – and apply them to your company. Our team of professionals are always on the lookout for great new ideas that will benefit your marketing. We bring an outside perspective to complement your depth of internal knowledge to create truly impactful campaigns and drive results for your organization.

It makes your job easy

When we work with clients, our approach is always that of flexibility, support, and partnership. We are not one of “those” agencies that just make more work for you. Our emphasis is on trust and collaboration, which means we know our clients so well that we come to anticipate their needs, likes, and dislikes. For you, this means an easy and comfortable working relationship with no egos or rigid processes to disrupt your client experience.

FAQs

We are interested in Excentric’s Managed Marketing Services however we are based outside of Ottawa, Canada. Can you make this work?

Yes! Many of our clients are located outside of Ottawa, whether elsewhere in Canada, or in the United States, Europe, and Asia. No matter your location, we will be able to build a close relationship with your team and deliver on your marketing requirements.

Our company does not have anyone to handle our marketing and we have no idea what we need or where to start. Can you help?

Of course! We will help you build out your marketing strategy and then execute on the plan, creating the branding, website, collateral, and social media action that you need! Best of all, we will make sure you achieve your goals and never feel overwhelmed.

Is it possible to hire Excentric on a project-by-project basis? We are not sure just yet if we need subscription based marketing.

Yes, we offer the classic project-by-project agency model as well. Some of our clients are more comfortable hiring us on a project basis, and some choose to take us for a test drive first before committing to a managed marketing services subscription.

Our organization is in need of all of your services. What is the best place to start?

Let’s get together to set priorities and build out a strategy. Once we have your short-term and long-term objectives in place, we will recommend a plan of attack.

Can you tell me how Excentric services differ from other creative agencies?

Excentric delivers a premium product and level of service, which means we always add a little “extra” – the factor that will make you want to show off your marketing at dinner parties. We are a no-ego agency –  we always listen, we are always supportive, and we don’t believe in rigid processes or only one way to do things. We pay attention to the smallest of details and we “bring it” to every project, Our work is not complete until you are ecstatic.

What kind of budget are we looking at for monthly marketing services?

Outsourcing your marketing costs the same as a junior or director-level salary, depending on the scope of work. For example, this budget will depend on whether a full website redesign is included in the first 12 months, whether you require interactive strategy workshops, and which services you are looking to keep in-house.

Can we schedule a “get to know Excentric” meeting to see if this might be a good fit?

Yes! We would love an opportunity to present our services and expertise and get to know your team and organization.
