The Rise of the Digital Agency
Introduction
It is well known that email campaigns, blogs, social media, and podcast and video services have usurped “old media.” Gone are the days of TV, radio broadcasts, and infomercials. The rising generation has less patience for this form of media; today, people demand information instantaneously, in a way that only today’s online media platform can keep up with. The old media was helmed by news reporters, radio broadcasters, and journalists. Today, these media aficionados are found within the digital agency.
Creative Agency VS Digital Agency, Know the Difference
First, let’s be sure to not confuse the digital agency itself with the creative agency that uses digital interfaces. A creative agency deals with producing content largely on an aesthetic, visual basic. They are end product driven, rather than process driven. A traditionally creative agency will deal with projects on the bigger picture, and are less willing, or able to tackle campaigns that require a specific, technical approach to drive intended results. These agencies are all-encompassing, but, typically, are not the best equipped to tackle specific issues.
A digital agency also has a high regard for visual appeal and desired aesthetic, but they are more analytical in their approach to rendering the end result. These agency’s want to actualize a visually pleasing product, but know that specific tools must be utilized in order to reach this end result. They think less big picture and more detail oriented. They know that its necessary to consider the user’s experience on every digital platform, and what technical roadblocks that may arise that could prevent the site from going live. For this reason, the role of such an agency diverse — ranging from management to actual web development. They’re less concerned with visual rendering and more fixated on how that visual result with drive a business’s growth.
So, What Does a Digital Agency Do?
Digital agency’s tackle everything from web development and UX/UI design to social media, SEO, and marketing tactics. Their team is made up of those who can best handle specific issues, therefore a good digital agency will front the best programmers, digital marketing professionals, developers and experts in SEO. A digital agency isn’t just a technical support service. Creative design and implementation are fundamental to the digital agency, but they usually only handle projects that address a specific issue or seek to carry out a client’s particular goal. Everything is centered on a specific demand, which is, again, how the digital agency differs from the traditional one.
