Advertising and Marketing: Overview and challenges

At sa.global, we have been a Microsoft partner for over 30 years and witnessed the industry evolve. The digital revolution has changed every aspect of the advertising and marketing world. Fast learning, even faster adaptation, and perfect execution became imperatives for those who wish to stay on top of this game. In addition, like every business, agencies need clients to make money, but there are challenges in attracting and acquiring clients and offering superior client service and account management. All this while effectively controlling costs and meeting deadlines with ease.

Advertising and marketing agencies are also plagued by challenges such as:

Increased competition from other agencies as well as in-house departments, heightening the pressure to ‘stand out’
Changing consumer behavior leading to complex client problems
High client churn due to a variety of reasons from pricing to competition
Low operational efficiency as more time is spent on resource management than on execution of projects
Data and privacy issues under regulations like GDPR
Choosing and retaining quality talent

Agencies, therefore, have to keep up with the latest trends and make sure they act quickly. Being agile by using technology is the only way you have the best chance of overcoming these concerns and surviving.
