A deep dive into Bozell’s unique take on membership

Marketing tactics continue to quickly evolve, with new tools like artificial intelligence offering brands a bevy of advertising options that are more customizable, scalable and agile than ever before (for more on this, listen to our four-part series on AI). And while these advances provide exciting opportunities to create new marketing content for your brand, navigating this changing landscape can be challenging for many companies.

Partnering with an advertising agency like Bozell can help brands effectively leverage available marketing tactics by providing guidance and expertise on integrated campaigns that meet your business goals, no matter if you’re launching a new product or refreshing your brand look.

When it comes to utilizing a marketing firm, many businesses hire them on a per-project basis or retain them as their agency of record (AOR) to handle all their marketing needs. But today, a more flexible trend in agency-client relationships is emerging: the membership model.

With this subscription-style approach, brands pay one fixed monthly fee for access to the agency’s services. So whether you want to redesign your website one quarter, or roll out a full social media campaign the next, the costs remain the same. This allows for better budgeting and the ability to tackle a wide variety of marketing priorities throughout the year. However, budget predictability and flexibility are only part of the value. Read on to find out how the membership model can benefit your business.

The Magnificent Membership

• You get open access to a team of experts.
  Need to schedule an impromptu meeting or chat strategy with your account executive? The membership model allows for the free flow of conversations and ideas without having to worry about how much you’ll be billed later. The result is marketing efforts that are focused on your business goals, not just marketing goals.
  
• No cost uncertainty.
  With a membership, your marketing budget becomes much more predictable. Transparent upfront pricing means you know in advance how much you’ll spend each month, quarter, year, etc., and can plan accordingly. (Your accounting department is going to love you.)
  
• Your success is their success.
  One of the best things about the membership model is that performance incentives can be tied to your business needs. This ensures your agency partner has a real stake in your success and is motivated to achieve the best results possible for your brand.
  
• Flexibility to meet your changing needs.
  Having access to an agency that can adapt to your marketing needs on the fly is a big benefit of membership. When your priorities change, so can theirs. Just be sure to communicate your marketing priorities and expectations so your agency can be ready to pivot to your next goal or project.
  
• It’s custom-fit to your brand.
  When you think of monthly subscriptions, you might be thinking about the way your phone plan or internet package includes certain services or a specific amount of data each month. But that’s where the similarities end. Memberships aren’t one-size-fits-all. Instead, it’s a highly customizable experience, allowing you to tailor-fit agency services to match your business objectives and marketing strategy.
