The Hybrid Approach

Download the Hybrid Services Model E-Book Now

One of the most significant shifts in the business landscape over recent years has been the move to in-house marketing – bringing capabilities once outsourced to an agency (or a network of agencies) inside the organization.

Forward-thinking marketing leaders are taking a more nuanced approach to their in-housing strategy, working with in-housing partners – specialized firms who leverage their experience, insights and resources to build in-house agency solutions custom-fit to a client’s needs – alongside their own FTEs and outside agencies.

This new hybrid model enables companies to leverage the unique strengths of each resource against their overall marketing ambitions within a seamless, optimized framework.
