Benefits of Agile
““No matter the size of your marketing department, Agile Digital Marketing enables you to be more efficient, better address your customers’ wants, and be more aligned with the organisation’s goals””
You get more done - The Agile Digital Marketing approach results in up to 60% more work done.
You get the right things done - As a squad or an individual, you are developing ideas, scoring them, and then executing. It’s a team effort toward a team goal and agreed upon priorities.
You adapt to change quickly - Digital marketers have been dealing with change since the invention of marketing, but agile means your ability to adapt to change is much quicker and more thoughtful.
You improve communications - Agile calls for teams to be aligned in their approach, and transparent in sharing what they’re working on. This leads to improved communication – and not just for the marketing team, but across departments including sales and senior management.
