Marketing agency leaders love saying “billable work comes first” then “where are the marketing leads?” Soon after 🤦🏼♀️
If your own marketing is reliant on the same people who prioritise client delivery then you’re going to have problems with your marketing.
It’s as simple as that.
Marketing agencies, digital agencies in my experience perform best when they separate their resource from billable work. Whether that is hiring an internal marketing manager, freelancers or getting fractional marketing resource - if you want your marketing to work at some point you have to invest in it.
