As the Internet has grown, so has online advertising. There are advertising agencies that now do only online advertising. Many of these are spin-offs of traditional advertising agencies that realized that their online advertising departments were growing bigger and bigger.
Online advertising has a different set of rules than traditional advertising, so advertising professionals have specialized. That’s how we got to the point of having traditional advertising companies and “online advertising companies” (I’m using this term to define brick-and-mortar agencies that focus on online advertising, not agencies that only exist online). Maybe you’re thinking that an online advertising agency isn’t really needed, that a traditional advertising agency can do everything from online to brochures to billboards. That might be true, but unless the traditional advertising agency has a dedicated department that focuses just on online advertising, you’ll be missing out on many benefits:
1. Online experience. Advertising agencies that focus online have more experience and more exposure to the online advertising world. These people work in this venue every day. Many of these advertising professionals bring other backgrounds into their positions, which enhances their ability to take what was traditionally offline (like TV) and put it online in a format that works.
2. More effective online ads. Oftentimes, these online agencies can create a more effective online ad simply because they’ve done more research online and are used to the online atmosphere. Online advertising agencies know what works online and how to get the Internet user’s attention. Online agencies know what colors work best on computer screens, and how to get an ad to look good on a computer as well as a BlackBerry.
3. They know the right approach to take. An online agency knows where to advertise on the Internet that perhaps traditional agencies don’t know about yet. Online agencies have the inside scoop on up-and-coming Web sites to advertise on because they have connections.
4. An extensive network or online connections. These agencies often work with both Web sites that need advertisers and businesses that want to advertise online. Marrying these needs is easier for an online agency because it already has the resources, the contacts.
5. An online agency can do all your online advertising needs for you, including email. If you need a generated response email, an online agency can do that. If you need an interactive flyer or newsletter on your Web site, an online agency can do that. Online agencies employ many more Web designers and online specialists than traditional agencies. You can tap into a lot more technology-minded brains at an exclusively online-focused agency.
