You could be doing all the right things with marketing automation and still feel like you’re struggling to juggle e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. First of all: That’s okay. You’re not a failure, you just need help. What you need now is people support.

And if you’re trying to keep your team lean while scaling and minimizing operational inefficiencies, what you might be looking for more specifically is support from an agency. You know you need agency support when there’s:

• Lack of in-house headcount
• Lack of in-house resources
• Lack of in-house expertise
• Lack of in-house time

So what kind of digital marketing agency should you be looking for? One specifically for investment management companies like yours.

Why an agency specifically for financial services and investment marketing?

When you’re underwater, you need help now. An investment marketing agency has deep industry experience and expertise, so there’s no need to educate them. No “financial services for dummies” translations required. They can immediately start running with you.

And because of their industry experience, they know what works and what doesn’t based on similar investment and asset management companies they work with. Meaning, you can get already-proven digital marketing strategies and tactics applied to your own efforts, saving you precious time.

The best digital marketing agencies for financial services have even done the research on what clients like yours actually want. So it’s not just about what other investment marketers have done but also about creating a truly client-centric experience. No guessing, and no need to do this time-intensive research or A/B testing on your own. Knowledge is power, and an investment marketing agency can give this to you right away.
