Manufacturers who don't have digital marketing expertise on staff often rely on the growing number of consultants who can do everything from web development to social media marketing. This makes sense from a financial standpoint, however it may not make sense from a branding standpoint.
Digital marketing programs need to be handled by people who understand your marketing strategies as well as they understand technology.
When working with digital marketing consultants, take the time to share your marketing strategies and objectives with them. Make certain they understand your brand and your industry. Educate them about your competitors. If they don't get it, chances are you won't get what you're after — a coordinated marketing program!
