President Peter Chaffee faced a crucial decision in 2022: hiring a full-time in-house marketer or partnering with a full-service digital marketing agency. To make this decision, Peter interviewed multiple agencies and full-time marketers, seeking a solution to help grow Chaffee Roofing in the aftermath of the pandemic. However, he noticed that most agencies offered vague promises and focused on metrics that failed to understand their business-specific needs. The challenges they faced included:

Limited Digital Presence: Chaffee Roofing lacked a strong online presence, including an underperforming website and minimal engagement on social media platforms.
Ineffective Content: Previous agencies delivered blog posts and content needing more commercial roofing industry expertise. The content often required extensive rewrites, wasting valuable time for Chaffee Roofing’s team.

Marketing Expertise: Many competing agencies needed a deeper understanding of commercial roofing, resulting in marketing materials that failed to resonate with Chaffee Roofing’s target audience.

Vague Promises: Most agencies made vague promises and focused on metrics that didn’t provide a comprehensive view of the marketing efforts’ effectiveness. Peter Chaffee sought transparency in his partnership, which was often lacking in other agencies’ proposals.
