Who are we trying to reach? How do we want to be perceived? Which channels actually make sense? What should be the priority? And, most importantly, how do we know whether the investment is working?<\/p><p>When these answers are unclear, the discussion about hiring an agency, a marketing consultant, an in-house professional, or another service provider starts in the wrong place.<\/p><p><strong>Before choosing who will execute the marketing, you need to understand what problem the company needs to solve.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-interaction-id=\"d672337\" class=\"e-d672337-d9e7183 e-heading-base e-default-h2\">The Problem May Not Be the Agency<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c339d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c339d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When results fail to appear, it is natural to first look at who is doing the execution.<\/p><p>The campaign didn\u2019t perform.
