6 Reasons Why Your Business Needs a Creative Marketing Consultant

Today, in the digital space, we buy and sell in attention currency. It’s more important than ever for businesses to get creative with their marketing and how they are seen, found, and heard by their prospective customers. Having a creative consultant on your side can be the thing that sets you apart from your competitors.

Here are 6 reasons you should consider adding a creative consultant as part of your team

1. Fresh perspective:
   A creative marketing consultant can provide a fresh perspective on your business and help you see things from a new angle. They can bring new ideas and innovative approaches to your marketing efforts that you may not have considered before. Just like diversity in your team allows you to pull from various experiences of the people that make up your brand, having a diversified set of ideas could be the thing that makes you the “it” brand in your market.

2. Expertise:
   Marketing consultants are experts in their field and have the knowledge and skills to develop effective marketing strategies. They can help you identify your target audience, create compelling messaging, and develop creative marketing campaigns that resonate with your audience. Here at Forward Media we hone in on the keyword “expert.” With different people focused on different parts of the job, it’s like having 5 people in one! The SEO expert does your SEO, the Strategy expert builds your strategy, and the creative expert creates all your content...you get where I’m going with this. They are the Experts just like you’re the Expert for your brand.

3. Time-saving:
   You technically can balance your own books but you still have a bookkeeper or accountant right? Hiring a marketing consultant can save you time and resources by allowing you to focus on other aspects of your business. They can take care of all aspects of your marketing efforts leaving you free to focus on other important areas of your business.

4. Cost-effective:
   In the long run, hiring a creative marketing consultant can be cost-effective because they can help you avoid costly marketing mistakes and develop strategies that generate a higher return on investment (ROI). It’s also the obviously most cost-effective option in terms of resources. To hire the individual experts that make up a really solid all-around marketing team, you’d need at least 3-5 positions. That payroll and effort to manage those people could be very costly for you not just in your time but also with your financial resources.

5. Objectivity:
   A creative marketing consultant can provide an objective viewpoint on your business and its marketing efforts. They can provide honest feedback and recommendations based on their expertise and experience, helping you make informed decisions about your marketing strategy. Sometimes it’s simply about having someone that isn’t going to yes you to death. No one is perfect and something you thought was working well for your brand might be the very thing holding you back. Having an objective third party on your team might be just the thing you need to get ahead.

6. Flexibility:
   Creative marketing consultants can work with businesses of all sizes and can provide customized solutions to meet the unique needs of each business. They can also work on a project basis, allowing you to engage their services only when you need them. An outsourced fractional marketing consultant like our program at
