The Need for a Marketing Agency
It is increasingly difficult for organizations to stay responsive to dynamic consumer needs while focusing on executing their core business. The demands placed on the organizations finite resources of time and human capital are too great to be fulfilled effectively. This realization has given rise to an organization’s most important partner – the Marketing Agency.
Traditionally, marketing agencies were simply intermediaries between client and customer. In today’s environment, they have the much larger responsibility of understanding the intricate needs of the consumer, decipher this information and help the client create long lasting value for the consumers. The agency today must be a thinking organisation capable of looking ahead of the landscape and anticipate the future needs of the consumer in order to optimize their service offering.
A Perspective of the Zambian Market Space
Zambia has been consistently ranked among the fastest growing economies in the world. With this continuous boom in the economy, both new and old organisations have enhanced their marketing efforts in order to get the share of the pie and maximize returns on invested capital. It is not a surprise to see the cluster of billboards along highways and streets all vying for the consumer’s attention.
Furthermore, the competitive landscape continues to be a constant challenge for both new and old players in this industry. The low barriers of entry have made much easier for aspiring ad-agencies to make a mark in this high risk; high reward environment. Regardless of the prevailing conditions, we stand as the best marketing agency and continue to lead the innovation and development of this young industry.
