Hire a Third Party to Help with B2B Marketing
Categorized in: B2B Digital Marketing
No one can take away from you that you know your B2B better than anyone. You understand the ins and outs, your customers, your products, and more. Yet, when it comes to B2B marketing, it is surprisingly difficult to see what really needs to be done to make things succeed. Sometimes, those who know the company best are simply too close to everything in order to make the best decisions for how to move things forward.
What really might be needed is someone to look at the situation with fresh eyes. This is where it makes sense to get third party help for your B2B Marketing.
Types of Third-Party Help for B2B Marketing
When it comes to getting help, there’s no set approach that works for everyone. There are different “types” of help you can get. If you have a solid, in-house marketing team, perhaps you need outsourced help for a specific task or to help with some overflow work. Or, if your in-house team is on the weaker side, you might need to outsource greater expertise. Here’s a look at the types of help you can use:
- Freelancer. Do you need help with some overflow work but have the strategic piece of the puzzle under control? This is where hiring freelancers can help you. If there’s more writing than your staff can handle, for example, you can easily hire a freelance writer. Freelancers exist for just about every marketing-related task you can think of.
- Agency. If you need help beyond simply getting the work done, you might want to consider an agency. Agencies usually have a specific expert focus, they are able to handle some strategy, and they can also help you get some work done. It is especially useful to use them to get work done that relates to the expertise they were hired to help you with.
- Fractional CMO. Another option for you is to outsource to a Fractional CMO. Think of them as your marketing leadership but without having to hire them full time. They oversee the entire department, develop strategy, make personnel adjustments, and in general ensure that your B2B Marketing efforts are as effective as they could be.
Discover What Kind of Help You Need
One you know what type of help is possible, you have to determine which will suit your needs better. If you don’t know, consider reaching out to people who fall under every category and have them give you their honest assessment of what you might need. Take their information and use that to inform the ultimate business decision. Every now and then, you may talk to someone especially helpful who will let you know which of the three options are best for your B2B, even if they themselves don’t perform the service.
As you can see, there are some options for how a B2B can get extra help with their marketing. This is worth investing in because you need to have a solid marketing team who will help you achieve your goals.
