 For clients new to advertising or haven't worked with an advertising agency before, the big question is often, "Is it right for you?" Even if you're au fait with advertising agencies, the process of advertising and marketing and have a reasonable knowledge of the optimum publication channels in your industry or market sector, there is still the question of advert positioning, media planning and determining the right publication frequency to deliver results for the minimum of advertising spend. That's always a tricky one to negotiate for any company involved in advertising to its customers. For this reason alone, many companies prefer an agency to procure their advertising services – other's keep everything in house.
In the majority of cases where advertising is used as the sole means of promotion, it can be extremely ineffective, especially when out of sync with other forms of marketing promotions such as direct mail, investment in web services, or any of the other common elements of the promotional mix.
It's true to say that advertising can be a highly effective, cost efficient way of reaching a wide audience quickly, however if you're campaign is designed purely to gain brand awareness then you are going to need to concentrate your efforts on how to convert 'awareness' into tangible business - because customers generally go through the buying process prior to making a decision, advertising plays only a small part in the overall buying process.
