Should I hire a marketing coordinator or outsource to an agency?

While a website is the centre of a digital marketing ecosystem, it is technically an electronic spider web of connections layered with data and images meant to convey a particular message. Once built, this tool will either perform by generating measurable results through sustained activity or it won’t. It’s what makes hiring for marketing positions such a challenge. As business changes, different tactics and skills are required. Managing effective marketing is a multi-disciplinary task that few entry-level employees will be capable of achieving within the first few years of a new position.?
