In-house agencies often operate in the shadows, lacking the support needed to drive Marketing Return on Investment, MROI. Their contributions are frequently undervalued, and their capabilities are not fully leveraged. This oversight leads to missed opportunities to deliver creative solutions for the business, untapped brand recognition, and a lack of innovation. And yet, many in-house agencies continue to perpetuate this cycle by clinging to outdated methods and processes.
It's time to break free from the status quo and challenge the notion that 'this is how it's always been done.' If you’ve been told that the way you’re working is the only way, it just isn’t true.
By accepting things as they are:
New project management systems are put in place and the new system ensures you can do an outdated process faster
The in-house team adds capabilities but the team is still unable to focus on solving the company’s challenges and successfully expand the service offering
Creative ideas are not based on data driven insights and can be disconnected from driving results
New thinking, organizational architecture and innovation are all needed to ensure you can work at the speed-of-business, respond to market conditions in real-time, and leverage the full capabilities of your in-house team.

Running an in-house agency is a challenge. You need to know how to herd cats, plug leaks, and keep the work flowing all at the same time. Demand rises and falls and rises again—and when it does, you can be sure that you’ll hear from all sides that deliverables aren’t going out on time, because there are not enough creative resources.
In today’s fast-moving digital world flexibility, and agility are prerequisites for agencies to recruit talent and win business. But too often, agency leaders talk a big game about agility far more than actively cultivating it.
Digital fatigue is real. It can kill a good marketing strategy and erode messaging, but It doesn’t have to happen. With the right workflow and checks and balances in place it can be completely avoided.
