Do it for the right reasons!
Thinking of switching marketing agencies? It doesn't matter what other agencies offer you — the decision process isn't easy, and it's going to affect your performance during the switch. So make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.
Contract renewal is coming up, and that leads marketing agency clients to consider whether they're going to put the account up for review. As a client, you may be deciding whether or not to renew the contract. It's time to analyze the reports and evaluate the goals. In some cases, you'll even discover performance indicators you'd forgotten about.
What was the result of the performance indicators?
Sometimes we accept a marketing agency proposal and, along the way, don't see the expected results. They're usually unclear, or you simply realize the success indicators weren't well defined.
In some cases the campaign objectives were met, but they don't translate into sales or new potential customers. For example, on social media: lots of followers were gained, but there's no increase in sales objectives. Was the problem really the performance of the advertising and marketing agency, or did you accept from the start a project that didn't guarantee results?
Another case might be that the advertising agency hit the objectives and the impact is evident in the campaign results for the business — but the service provided by the agency hasn't been the best. Very good results have been achieved; however, the way of working, the service attitude, and the response times to your requests don't satisfy you. Are you really sensitive to the service you're receiving, and do you understand the effort it can take them to report information to you?
If you don't fully understand the processes and the difficulty of the tasks, you'll perceive the result as poor quality or below expectations.
You should consider that the more novel and different your project is, the greater the effort the marketing agency will have to make to figure out the path. Did you understand the risk that developing your campaign implied for the agency, and the difficulty involved in producing it?
Marketing agencies in Costa Rica must be objective and committed to delivering excellent services across the full catalog they offer. They don't always succeed, and you should make sure the causes aren't shortcomings coming from the client side. It's their responsibility to identify when the problems come from your team as the client.
Replacing advertising agencies isn't always the best move… Do you think firing every employee who doesn't hit their goals is always the best option? Apply the same criterion to advertising agencies: there are greater benefits in building growth and development plans with a marketing agency that has good potential — just as you would with a talented employee.
