How Would You Rate Your Agency’s Thought Leadership?
It’s OK if you’re grimacing a bit trying to answer this question. You’re already attempting to balance leading up sales, servicing clients, hiring talent, and keeping every other ball up in the air. Marketing
yourself and your agency naturally falls to the back burner.
But if we, as agencies, tell our customers they need to be marketing themselves, we need to make sure we lead by example. Influence & Co. can support you and your team to make it a bit easier to start
contributing to online publications and securing the press your agency deserves.
We partnered with AMI to develop specific content marketing packages for agency owners and the pain points they experience. However, we can customize any of our offerings to support your
needs.
Know you need to invest in thought leadership, but have no idea where to begin? We’re happy to have a conversation to advise you on
where to start. We promise there won’t be a sales pitch.
