You’ll find talented people at any quality workplace. But what makes digital marketing agencies different is the type of talent at play. That’s due to the structure of an agency as a creative powerhouse. No matter what your specialty is (paid media, web development, client strategy, or something else), you’ll be guaranteed to work with other people who share your passions and your skillset.

There are many work-specific benefits here—specialization, innovation, and more—but the unique culture of agencies is in large part due to the collection of larger teams of similar talent and diverse backgrounds, which is simply not an option for all but the largest in-house marketing departments.

And although you may have to convince your clients to continue paying for your marketing agency’s services, you don’t usually have to convince the agency itself that what you do has value. That’s a big relief.
