But <em>why<\/em> is it so important? Why do we, marketers, <em>need<\/em> a community?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well, it\u2019s basically the same reason for which mankind has evolved&#8230; I know, it sounds so dramatic. However, through my experience (in Marketing at least), I\u2019ll tell you one thing: you can never achieve great results on your own. And when I say \u201egreat\u201d, I mean really taking it to the next level. Communities and\/or partnerships help us to evolve through the exchange of knowledge and resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One vs. many<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I myself am a self-taught individual&#8230; and it worked fine&#8230; till I hit rock bottom.<br \/>\nYes&#8230; literally I was doing everything as an \u201ein-house\u201d Marketing Specialist&#8230; and nothing. It\u2019s the hard truth but I tried to be a marketing strategist, online advertiser and graphic designer&#8230; all in one and at the same time. Believe me, it\u2019s almost impossible. \u00a0And it\u2019s fine not to be an expert in everything, especially due to the huge amount of information that bombards us everyday. It has become so easy to lose focus in business and throw your resources away.<\/p>\n<p>Of course that it doesn\u2019t mean that we don\u2019t need to have an overview. But nowadays, marketing is so complex and you need real specialists to get the right results.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get in review the main reasons for working with external partners for marketing activities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From the business point of view, the outsourcing of marketing activities can be cost effective. Maybe \u201eoutsourcing\u201d is not the appropriate term because it\u2019s not about just finding work-force at the lowest costs. It\u2019s more like a collaborative way of dicovering the best solutions for your business.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em\">Another issue that you have to consider is that we all need a fresh perspective and an agency could deliver great ideas. The \u201eblended\u201d know-how from various markets and domain empowers agencies to bring new approaches.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em\">Also, your marketing efforts are scalable, according to your needs. For example, in organizing an event or running an integrated campaign.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em\">And last, but not least, you\u2019re able to focus on strategic directions of the business, oversee the implementation and analyze the results of your campaigns. This provides a clear overview on your business and market.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Bottom line\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6969 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/loopaa.ro\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/victor.jpg\" alt=\"Victor\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loopaa.ro\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/victor.jpg 500w, https:\/\/loopaa.ro\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/victor-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This month, <a href=\"http:\/\/iaayp.ro\/index.php\/ce-suntem\/iaa-yp-cluj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IAA Young Professionals Cluj<\/a> brings Marketing Tribe to a whole new level.
