It’s really a question of evaluating what you do best and what an agency does best. After looking at core competencies, many businesses decide that it’s wisest and most cost effective to form a relationship with a good agency.
The first step is to decide what it is you hope to accomplish with the agency. Clearly stating your objectives in writing is a good way to bring focus to your thinking. And, it creates a “scorecard” on which you may wish to evaluate prospective agencies.
– Set high standards– Set goals based on a broad internal understanding of what your marketing is designed to accomplish– Communicate, communicate, communicate– Have as few approval levels as possible– Recognize when you work as a team with your agency, your agency will like to work with you—and it will show in your advertising– Have highly skilled people on your side of the table
Advertising effectiveness can be measured using quantitative and/or qualitative techniques. Determine what you are trying to measure. Then analyze the number and types of leads you’re getting from your ad program. Or, “take the market’s temperature” using brand awareness surveys to evaluate your brand recognition. Anecdotal evidence is another way to measure success. Are your salespeople finding that their reputation precedes them? Do customers know your company and what product they are selling before they arrive on their doorstep? If so, your advertising is probably hitting the target.One of an agency’s roles is to help you form realistic and appropriate measures of effectiveness. In online advertising, click-throughs can be one way of measuring effectiveness, but it is only one way. Companies as large as P&G now look at not just click-throughs, but at branding and the power of online and social media to help make or break a company’s image. By helping to bring a proper perspective to your marketing strategies, means and goals, GK will work with you to formulate truly useful measures of effectiveness and marketing success.
Historical spending is one way to set an ad budget, but not the best. Percent-of-sales is another approach, but should be guided by factors like company size and product stage (maturity). Another method—the one we usually advocate—is the “task to be accomplished” approach whereby a list of goals drives a list of strategies, which in turn drives a list of tactics or tasks. Each task is then assigned a cost and the sum is a budget. Consult your industry’s trade association for guidelines, or ask us.
