A full service design agency has the ability to handle all aspects of the creative process, so there’s no need to use any additional third party. This usually includes all aspects of strategic planning, creative and production.
What are the benefits?
Save time and money
Hiring a full-service agency means everything you do is controlled under the same roof. It means you only have to communicate with one person and they coordinate all the rest. The agency will make sure they employ specialists in each area so that you get a higher level of service, and don’t need to worry about doing all the leg-work in between. What’s more, it means you don’t have the overheads associated with an in-house team.
Increase consistency
One of the most important things for your business is to have a consistent identity across all channels and touchpoints. Everything must be harmonious, from branding to tone of voice, and even your choice of graphics and imagery. A full-service agency makes sure all your communications are congruent with one another, strengthening your brand and making it more identifiable to your target audience.
Better brand understanding
A full-service agency basically acts as an external arm of your internal team. By building a fluid relationship with them, they learn your brand inside out. Their whole team gains a universal understanding of your company values, goals and beliefs. Working with a full-service agency means you don’t have to spend loads of time managing and communicating to ensure there are no conflicting ideas on your company direction.
Expert help and advice
The benefit of working with a full-service agency is that you get to work with a whole team of people who specialise in particular areas. What’s more, working with the experts means they are always on top of the latest trends.
