When an agency wins
- You need senior expertise immediately, without recruiting
- You want a full team (strategy, execution, analytics) for less than one senior hire
- You value flexibility to scale up or down as needs change
- You don't want to manage hiring, training, tools, and turnover
When in-house wins
- Social Media is so core to your business it must live inside the company
- You have the budget for multiple senior salaries plus tools
- You can attract, manage, and retain specialist talent
- You need someone embedded full-time in day-to-day operations
The hybrid approach
- Many companies do both: an in-house lead plus an agency for execution capacity and specialist skills
- This gives you internal ownership with outside expertise and scale
- It's often the fastest path to results without the overhead of a full team
