Let’s be honest—marketing today is not for the faint of heart.
Between shifting algorithms, content trends moving at warp speed, and consumers who instantly scroll past anything that doesn’t hit? Keeping up isn’t just tough; it’s a full-time job (or five). So when brands ask us:
“Should we build an in-house marketing team or work with an agency?”
Here’s our honest, no-fluff answer:
You don’t just need more hands. You need the right minds.
The Illusion of In-House “Control”
We get the appeal. Having someone on your team who knows your business inside and out, is just a Slack message away, and can hop into meetings? Sounds ideal in theory. But let’s break down what that really looks like:
- Hiring takes months, and the best talent is rarely on the market.
- Most in-house teams rely on generalists juggling too much and burning out fast.
- You’re responsible for their tools, training, and keeping them inspired (on top of everything else you’re already doing).
And here’s the kicker: most in-house teams still end up outsourcing specialty work (PR, design, paid ads, etc.). So you’re paying double and still not getting full coverage.
The Agency Edge
When you partner with an agency like PREM PR & Social, you're not hiring a single person. You're plugging into a whole system that’s already built, already running, already delivering results.
Here’s what you’re really getting:
Strategy-First Thinking
We don’t just post and pray. We map everything out from content, social, PR, and creative to your actual business goals.
More Than Just “Pretty”
From campaign visuals to scroll-stopping Reels, we create content that looks good, drives engagement, and is PREMemorable. No Canva templates, no copy-paste captions.
Performance + Pivots
We're watching your data so you don’t have to. We track, analyze, and adjust, and we do it fast.
Built-In Experts
Writers, designers, PR pros, social media strategists, we’re all in-house (at our house), so your brand gets full-spectrum support without the overhead.
Consistency You Can Feel
We don’t just “get” your brand; we become it. Every post, every press hit, every campaign has polish, precision, and purpose.
Final Word: Scale Smarter
If you’re just looking to check the “marketing” box, in-house might get the job done.
But if you’re looking to elevate, grow, and actually build something memorable?
You need a team that lives and breathes brand, knows what’s next, and isn’t afraid to push creative boundaries to get results.
