Is your business at a marketing tipping point?

Many companies that operate within Australia’s defence and aerospace ecosystem often drive initial business growth through word-of-mouth, networking, and securing a few key contracts. However, as your business scales, relying on these methods alone can hold you back, making it harder to get your technical, high-value products and services in front of the right stakeholders and decision-makers.

That’s when you reach what we call the marketing tipping point. This critical juncture is when businesses must decide whether to build in-house marketing capabilities or outsource to an expert partner.

Should you buy or build your marketing function?

The decision to buy or build your marketing function can be complex. You may consider hiring junior marketers to handle day-to-day tasks or bringing in senior strategists to develop long-term plans. Finding the right balance between skills, costs, and business needs can be challenging, especially for smaller businesses. This is where outsourcing to a specialist marketing agency offers a compelling solution.

Outsourcing your marketing needs to a dedicated team of Australian experts will give you access to a multi-disciplined team with expertise across various marketing disciplines, from content creation to digital marketing strategy, all without the burden of additional overheads. The right partner will help you launch innovative campaigns quickly and efficiently, driving more impact than you could with an in-house team alone.

There are three ways engaging with an integrated marketing and communications agency will help your business accelerate its marketing:

1. Cost efficiency and scalability: outsourcing your marketing function gives you the flexibility to scale efforts according to your needs without adding to internal costs and headcount. It also provides access to essential tools, spreading costs across multiple clients. This means you can scale up or down quickly depending on your business requirements, launching campaigns more efficiently than an in-house team could manage on its own, while also taking advantage of the latest market insights and technologies.

2. Risk reduction: experienced agencies align your marketing efforts with business growth and priorities, helping you handle potential risks associated with emerging marketing tools, trends, and compliance. They adjust your campaigns and material as needed, using real-time information to keep them effective and aligned with industry standards.

3. Reliable return on investment: an integrated marketing and communications agency collects insights from working across multiple clients and industries, applying these learnings to your campaigns for the best results. Agencies can optimise your marketing spend to maximise impact, allocating your resources where they deliver the greatest return.

Working with a specialist integrated marketing agency can alleviate the pressure on your in-house resources. This lets your team focus on core business operations instead. Partnering with experts who understand the intricacies of the defence and aerospace sectors gives you access to a wealth of knowledge and skills across multiple disciplines. This way, you can seamlessly integrate marketing strategies and create targeted, effective campaigns that drive results while maintaining compliance with industry standards.
