First of all, for those who do not yet know the role of a marketing agency, it is a specialized branch derived from the communications agency (comms agency for short). It is intended to support businesses, communities, associations but also liberal activities as well as the development and deployment of a targeted marketing strategy in line with the client’s needs and means. For these reasons, specialized agencies have become a real lever for development, which explains the growing success of the tailor-made offers they offer.

Where to find a marketing agency?
When you find your marketing agency, you will have the choice between working with a local agency, that is to say, present in your city, or, moving towards a more “generalist” agency and in this case work abroad.
Also note that large cities are better served, and that for example you will have less difficulty finding a Marketing agency in Montpellier or in another large city rather than in a small village lost in the depths of Brittany. Depending on your location, working remotely is therefore a choice that arises.
What is the role of a marketing agency?
To create a tailor-made strategy adapted to the needs of its client, a marketing agency takes into account several criteria, including the client’s objective and its budget. The objective in question can concern both the branding and commercial aspects and target a specific audience (age, location, interests, etc.).
The first thing a marketing agency studies is the market in which the strategy will be implemented. Constraints, competition or even the legal aspect will be areas in which your agency will have to know how to demonstrate its skills in order to ultimately deploy formidable actions to enable you to achieve your key objectives as quickly as possible.
Nowadays, a marketing agency can have two distinct roles:
- Global marketing
- Digital marketing
We speak of global marketing when the strategy will target physical communication media (flyers, newspapers, media, etc.) and digital marketing for dematerialized media such as a website, an email campaign or the sending of sms. The choice of support will be advised by your marketing agency but the decision is a choice that belongs to the client.
What is digital marketing for?
Nowadays, whether for a trader, a brand or an independent, it is difficult to envisage your activity without being present, even if only a little, on the internet. In fact, a large majority of households have access to it and use it to search for a store, make purchases, find a service provider, a craftsman, etc. …
The problem on the internet is being visible to everyone, calling on a marketing agency specializing in digital is a real advantage which will quickly place you well ahead of your competition in terms of visibility. Working on your visibility on the internet offers many advantages. Being present in front of everyone will give your brand real leverage on trust and we all know it is essential to the development of any activity.
