3. Challenges Faced By Digital Marketing Agency

The agency has had to grapple with diverse hurdles including IT challenges and mismanagement. Here are the details-

Handling More Than One Campaign Across Multiple Platforms:

Social media management is now a collection of platforms. And running customized campaigns on all platforms parallelly creates a great chaos. The company could not put and track the campaign, resulting in wastage of time, money, and effort. 

Lack of Centralized Data and Analytics:

The digital marketing agency was unable to monitor and keep a record of the campaigns’ performance. It hampered the effectiveness of campaigns and further made the process a never-ending loop.

Long Manual Workflows:

As the team faced challenges in running and tracking multiple campaigns on platforms, it directly impacted the manual workflows. All that time happened to be spent on non-value-added, repetitive, manual work-such as generating reports or updating client data. Such inefficiency limited the agency's time to plan strategically and innovate.

Real-Time Tracking was a Challenge:

The core motive of social media campaigns is to track the performance and optimize the particular product/services as per target audience.  But as there was no real-time information available, it was very hard to make changes. The team ends up reacting too late to the issues causing great lost opportunities.

Client Personalization Needs:

All of the above-mentioned scenarios became an unavoidable hurdle to meet customer demands/needs. The campaigns were unsuccessful and the agency ended up with poor insights. Overall it became quite challenging to scale up the clients without the help of the right tools and IT solutions for digitalization.

These were bottlenecks to the agency's growth and caught it off-guard in delivering maximum value to clients. For the agency to thrive in a cut-throat competitive environment, it needed a simpler tool with centralized data and mobility in real time.
