Are you struggling to find time for your marketing? It can happen all too easily amidst the bustle of everyday work commitments and deadlines. But the good news is, we’re here to help.
As a business grows there comes a point when you need to either employ one or more marketing people or consider outsourcing.
At Spirus we work with a lot of our clients in this way. It is quite difficult to find telemarketing, marketing, design, SEO, copywriting, social media and sales skills in one person. It is also quite a stretch to employ five different people when you are a growing business. In comes agile marketing. When you work with us, we can put a package together with just the skills you need. We work with trusted expert associates giving you the very best service on flexible terms. Often we work complementing and collaborating with your existing team. We are, after all, working for the same purpose, to grow your business.
How does agile marketing work?
Monthly Marketing Retainers: your own marketing team on tap
Whether you need a strong social media presence, a targeted telemarketing campaign, a brand-building PR platform or a balanced mix of everything, we are here to take the hassle out of it for you, every month of every year. We’ll keep an eye on the deadlines, create the copy, post the content on your behalf and do whatever else you need us to in order to keep your business running smoothly and your customers coming back for more.
Project basis: tactical deployment of services when and where you need them
Perhaps you just need to get a specific project done? This might be a new website or a rebrand of your company image or even a direct marketing campaign; we are happy to help and invoice on completion. That’s it. Job done. It is not uncommon for our clients to start off working with us in this way and once we have delighted them, move to a retainer basis.
Sounds too good to be true! What’s the catch?
No catch. It might be a little bit more expensive if you look at the hourly rate of employment but the flexibility and range of services more than compensate for the perceived extra expense. When your business has grown sufficiently to employ a specific skilled marketing person, you can do that and cut back on our expense; we are not precious about this fact, we know that if we do our work well, your business will grow and some of our services will be replaced by in-house resources. Sometimes we can even help you train your new employee! We have delivered many telemarketing and copywriting training courses in and around Cambridge.
Does such a decentralised marketing department lack team spirit?
We never take on a job that we don’t believe in. It is extremely important that whoever does your marketing is enthusiastic about your business. Your marketing team needs to be your biggest fans. This has meant that, from time to time, one or more of our Spirus team has attended client company social events and fundraisers; not because we have to, but because we want to.
How can I trust your marketing agency?
We do everything to ensure that you can trust us. All our associates have signed contracts that include confidentiality clauses. All our consultants work in their own spaces mostly in home offices in and around Cambridge. If the pandemic has shown us anything, it has to be that video calls and getting the team in one virtual room is easy. We are responsive, real and we exist but also recognise that trust takes time, and doing what we said we were going to do, is an excellent starting point. We take the Simon Sinek approach on trust.
