Software can help you achieve scale & efficiency.
But the number and complexity of resources needed to max out the performance of your Facebook ad
campaigns can’t be underestimated.
5
Are we biased?
6
Pssh. Of course.

Partnering with an agency gives you a stronger chance of reaching your Facebook advertising goals than opting to keep your operations entirely in-house.

2. A VARIED SKILL SET & REGULAR TRAINING AT FACEBOOK
27
Agency employees have varied backgrounds and skill sets – the result of being exposed to a broad spectrum of projects and clients.
28
Our team’s expertise in Facebook advertising goes as far back as when Facebook’s first ads API was developed in 2010.
29
We also do ongoing training to stay ahead of the many changes and new tools that are available.
30
With frequent trips to Facebook for training.

3. NO LEARNING CURVE FOR SOFTWARE
32
Any agency worth its salt is responsible for staying up-to-date on all tools weaved into your advertising programs, not just being able to navigate their way around Power Editor. This includes: - 3rd party automation software - data sources - creative testing tools

Sure, if you need to divert from the original plan, we can make that happen immediately. We can also expertly weigh in on how your results will be affected.
46
But an agency that’s truly agile must also be ready to quickly adapt to the inevitable changes that occur in the world of Facebook.

New ad products to test. New campaign structures. Changes to bidding models. New data integrations to learn about. Changes to Power Editor. Changes to the API (which mean updates & changes for our software partners).

5. A WILLINGNESS TO TAKE INTELLIGENT RISKS
51
Some moves that seem risky in fact aren’t.
52
Some moves that seem risky in fact aren’t. Agencies know this because they’ve experimented with various approaches in the past.
53
Likewise, we know that some risks aren’t worth taking because past experiences have never produced the kind of results we’d want.

For your industry. For your target audience. For your product. For your value proposition. Agencies housing expertise that runs wide and deep know the combination of ad factors – and Facebook anomalies – that will help you reach your goals.

7. TURNOVER DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR CAMPAIGNS
61
Ok, we’re not saying that there’s less turnover within an agency than an internal marketing team. The point is that putting your Facebook ad media buying in the hands of one in-house employee is risky and not necessarily cost effective.
62
What if that person leaves? And goes to a competitor? They’ll take all of their expertise with them.
63
Not to mention the talent for this kind of thing is not only hard to retain but often hard to find.
64
Agency models allow for full teams of people to pour over your campaigns on your behalf.
65
Agency models allow for full teams of people to pour over your campaigns on your behalf. Think of us as an extension of your team. Should someone depart, your campaigns and results are unaffected.
66
Even better, you’re not spun into the time suck that is replacing an employee on top of everything else.
67
HAVE WE CONVINCED YOU YET?
68
A worthy Facebook advertising agency will not shy away from campaign performance, and will be eager to get their hands on the data to understand outcomes, figure out how to improve them, get insights about new audience segments and identify ways to take your program to the next level.
69
But we can’t do it alone.
70
Agencies are most successful at delivering on your objectives when you, the client, have a strong in-house team engaged and partnering with us.
71
We advocate for a hybrid approach.
72
There is nothing more powerful than a Facebook advertising strategy manned by
stellar in-house talent
that has an unmatched knowledge of their
customers, products, and industry
+
an agency with the experience that comes with spending millions of dollars in advertising
on Facebook
If you agree, we’d love to work with you.
