If agencies and consultants weren’t worth it, the model wouldn’t exist in the first place.
🧑🏫 DevriX turned 14 last month, and we’ve helped over a hundred SMEs launch, scale, optimize, and automate platforms and systems in different stages of their growth cycles.
Many were in collaboration with in-house teams or other agencies.
Tech firms have hired us as their marketing partner and marketing teams hired us as a tech vendor.
👉 Realizing that limited resources and focus are better spent elsewhere – or solving a problem with a well-equipped team is easier than hiring 8 people for a job – is the premise of delegation and elevation.
We’ve hired agencies in-house as well for core services we don’t offer in-house, and work with Key Opinion Leaders as consultants to infuse the latest industry trends and pain points valid right now. It’s only natural.
🥷 And I participate in several agency groups and accelerators (and have quarterly 1:1s with agency leaders) to keep refining our services and value props, and apply this know-how to our portfolio of clients.
Chris Walker dropped this value bombed in his latest post (linked below) that clearly sums up why discarding this option is an omission.
Yes – just like hiring or finding a job is a hit-or-miss, so is signing up for a vendor or onboarding an agency. The root of all evil is in expectation setting and forgetting that business is conducted between people (executives, VPs, account managers), not companies. 📶
Working with the right agency or consultant can easily revamp your entire roadmap in the next 6 months.
