What are managed marketing services?

Managed marketing services refer to a full-service, outsourced approach to marketing, where a dedicated external team handles all aspects of your marketing efforts, from strategy to execution. 

It’s a solution that takes the weight off your shoulders, especially if marketing isn’t your area of expertise or if you don’t have the resources to manage it internally.

5 signs you need
managed marketing services

01

Your marketing is inconsistent

If you find that your social media posts, email campaigns, or blog updates are sporadic, or worse, non-existent for months at a time, it’s a clear sign you need managed marketing services.

02

Your in-house team lacks expertise

Maybe you’ve hired someone to handle your marketing, but they’re struggling with areas like SEO, paid advertising, or advanced analytics. This is a clear sign you need more specialised skills.

03

You're not seeing results

If you’re pouring time and money into marketing but aren’t seeing tangible results - whether it’s leads, website traffic, or sales - it’s time to consider outsourcing your marketing.

04

You’re spending too much time

As a business owner or manager, you already have enough on your plate. If marketing tasks are eating up too much of your time - like creating social media posts, writing newsletters, or managing campaigns - it’s time to outsource.

05

Struggling to keep up with trends

Marketing changes fast - new platforms, algorithms, and best practices emerge regularly. If you find yourself falling behind on the latest marketing trends or unsure how to use tools like TikTok ads or advanced email automation, it’s a strong indicator you need help.

Managed marketing services vs in-house marketing

Choosing between the two often comes down to whether you want full control and integration with in-house staff or the flexibility and expertise of managed marketing.

  • Managed marketing services involve outsourcing your marketing to a dedicated agency. These experts will take care of everything on your brand’s behalf.
  • In-house marketing means building and managing your own marketing team. You have direct control and alignment with your company’s vision and culture, but this requires significant investment in hiring, training, and managing the staff.

So, whether you need a killer ad campaign, an SEO boost, or stunning graphic design work, you’ve got the right experts on the job, and you can be confident that every aspect of your marketing is handled by someone who truly knows their stuff.

    This was a record month for Hertex. The company achieved its highest turnover in 34 years.

    There are many highlights like online breaking highest online turnover month ever. We even beat our lockdown record! And the DC achieved their highest number of orders invoiced in one day, as well as highest Rand value invoiced in one day.

    I know that images, words, design, strategy – not to mention “kophou, moedhou-en-vasbyt” to get everything up and out on time played a real role. So WELL DONE and THANK YOU to each of you. We make a brilliant team.

    Onwards & upwards"
