Why Outsourcing to Slick Social Beats Hiring an In-House Social Media Manager
Director & Founder of Slick Social, Isabelle Macri
In the ever-evolving world of social media, businesses face a critical decision: should you hire an in-house social media marketing manager or outsource to a specialised agency like Slick Social? While both options have their merits, there are compelling reasons why outsourcing often comes out on top. Let's dive into a comparison that just might sway your decision.
Cost Efficiency: A Customised Approach to Budgeting
An in-house social media manager comes with a fixed salary, benefits, and additional overhead costs. At Slick Social, we offer competitive set fee packages encompassing a comprehensive suite of services. This means no surprise costs, no overhead, and no extra expenses for tools or software – it's all included, making your budgeting straightforward and predictable.
Expertise: Specialist Skillsets at Your Disposal
While an in-house manager may have a solid grasp of social media, they may require ongoing training to stay ahead of the curve. Slick Social is a collective of seasoned experts, each bringing a wealth of knowledge in various facets of social media – from analytics to content creation, strategy to engagement. Our team stays on the pulse of new trends, ensuring your social media presence is not just current but cutting-edge.
Scalability: Growing With Grace
Scaling up in-house requires significant investment in recruitment and training. Slick Social, on the other hand, is built to flex with your needs. Our agency can swiftly adjust the scale of operations to align with your business's ebb and flow, ensuring you have just the right amount of support when you need it.
Tools & Technology: The Best in the Business
Investing in the latest social media tools and technologies can be a costly affair for any business. As a client of Slick Social, you gain access to our arsenal of premium tools and analytics software, ensuring your content is not only top-notch but also data-driven.
Fresh Perspectives: Outside the Box Thinking
An in-house team can sometimes become an echo chamber of the same ideas and strategies. Slick Social brings fresh eyes and new perspectives to your brand, injecting creativity and innovation into your campaigns that only an external team can provide.
Risk Management: Minimising Your Liability
With in-house staff, the company absorbs the risks associated with social media management. Slick Social takes on a portion of this risk, with professional indemnity insurance and a team trained to handle crises, ensuring your brand is in safe hands.
Flexibility: Agile and Accommodating
Adjusting an in-house team's size or scope can take time and effort. At Slick Social, we pride ourselves on our agility. Our Service Agreement contracts are designed to be flexible, allowing for adjustments that mirror your company's immediate needs.
