When Hiring Internally Makes Sense [Ep. 39]

In this episode, Laura and Julia suggest five organizational elements that pair well with internal  marketing services and teams, as opposed to an external agency. Our ever-objective hosts discuss how certain organizational preferences and strategies, such as a need for long term internal capabilities, firm control, and close integration, as well as considerations of long term cost considerations and cultural fit, can often be better served in-house, within an organization’s own marketing department. Listen in to know if your organization needs to ditch the agency — even one as wonderful as Vision! —  and forge its own (marketing) path!

Takeaways: 
Internal marketing may be right for your organization if…

1 - You have a need for high control and close integration

2 - You have a need for industry specific experience

3 - You have a need for long-term internal capabilities

4 - Internal marketing is cheaper for you in the long-term

5 - Your industry culture and commitment would function better with an internal team
