Media agencies - Anyone use one?
Just putting the feelers out to see if anyone uses a media management company?
I've got a meeting next week with an agency that will look after all my 9 Websites (not inc hosting), doing any updates needed on said sites, manage the social media with targeted campaigns through social media and mailchimp etc.
Also inc is a a new website for Derbyshire Wedding DJ which has sadly fallen behind on style and more importantly traffic, a marketing review of the business as a whole with going forward strategy.
All the above is done by a monthly retainer fee.
Anyone have any experience with agencies and can offer any pointers, advice etc?

This is a service I offer myself.
So I'm happy to look over the proposal they provide to let you know if it's good value for you.
9 websites is a lot to manage. It'd be interesting to know exactly what they are proposing to do with each website, and costs. It could get quite expensive quite quickly.
They should be providing a very clear outline of what they'll be providing, and there should be some measuring sticks in place - what are you expecting in terms of results within 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
If they can't demonstrate the increase in quality leads they'll provide, then I'd walk away. Don't be sold on traffic - it's leads that are more important (would you rather 1,000 visitors a day, and 1 enquiry a month, or 100 visitors a day and 10 enquiries a month...)

After briefly looking at this particular site, I don't think you necessarily need a new site. Instead, invest in improving the conversion rate of the existing website (some tweaks to the existing site will make a huge difference), and also spend on the marketing to bring traffic to it

Toby,
Thanks for your input (but mind your own business ) your comments are certainly food for thought. I've run a few sites through that page insight checker and even the "big boys" like Argos and Wiggle don't fair aswell as I would have expected so it's something worth looking at.
I've since spoken to someone who was with this agency for 12 months and ended up getting a large amount of their fee back so not a glowing recommendation!
Thanks for the comments from everyone though. Very useful.
