What is a Virtual Marketing Agency?

Here at Get Ahead VA we are delighted to be launching what we call our ‘virtual marketing agency’.  But what does that actually mean and does it matter to you?

Sometimes the words ‘marketing agency’ can create fear in the eyes of a small business owner.  You immediately see pound signs and something you don’t feel you could afford.  But as we all know, ways of working in the 21stcentury have changed.  Virtual and flexible working are much more commonplace.  Look at how our high streets have changed and the way we shop.  Gone are some of the expensive, bricks and mortar shops with high rental overheads and nimble, dynamic online alternatives have arrived, offering similar or better services at a fraction of the cost and in a flexible format to suit you.

This is what our virtual marketing agency is all about:

  • Offering our clients all the services and heavyweight experience of a marketing agency but in a flexible, virtual and affordable way.
  • The one stop shop approach allows you to cherry pick the services you want, when you want, in the way you want.
  • No signing up to monthly retainers and account management fees.
  • From a simple press release through to a full on marketing activity programme including social media, email marketing, website design and events our experts can deliver what you need, when you need it.
