How To Choose The Best Digital Marketing Company

There are millions of businesses with websites, and millions more being created every day, meaning that it is essential to develop a marketing strategy that makes you stand out in such a crowded marketplace.

However, for small businesses, marketing can be a drain on finite resources. Do you have the time to constantly monitor your marketing progress, or keep up to date with all the latest trends ?

A digital marketing company is one of the most effective ways to craft and implement a robust marketing strategy, especially for businesses lacking the resources for an in-house marketing department.

By selecting the right marketing agency, you’ll gain a full-service firm that will handle every aspect of your digital marketing and PR and help ensure your business is optimised for lead generation and conversion across all channels.

The benefits include increased ROI, possible viral content, and measurable results from a personalised strategy. Let’s have a look at a few metrics that determine which digital marketing company will be best for your business.

Niche experience and range of services

You will want an agency that has the experience, but more than that you want to find an agency that has specific expertise in your business niche. An agency might have ample experience in creating websites and handling email campaigns, but if you run a law firm, for example, it would be of advantage to look for an agency that has relevant experience working with similar services.

The range of services offered by an agency is a very important aspect to consider. With more channels, such as SEO, digital marketing, email marketing, content, affiliate marketing, and influencer marketing, you will be able to reach more potential customers.

Reliability and pricing policies

An agency’s sales pitch might have all the bells and whistles, but if they prove to be unreliable when it comes to delivering your project on time and within budget, they will not be beneficial to you.

It is important to check out reviews for any shortlisted agencies to check for reliability and quality of work. Ask them for references from past and current clients, look at previous work and campaigns. Look for an agency that is transparent about their work, allowing you to determine their strengths and weaknesses.

Also check their pricing policies, as you need to be sure that the quote you are given is accurate and reflective of what you will be billed. While there will always be a need for a little financial wiggle room, you don’t want to be stung by hidden charges, so ensure that your chosen agency is fully transparent about its pricing and billing.

Customer service

The quality of customer service in your chosen agency is going to be a defining part of that relationship. Will you be able to get in touch with someone when you need an urgent fix on one of your resources, and will you be able to quickly make changes to your campaigns to meet growing demands? A company that has a responsive customer service system is paramount.

The Hippo, the Oxpecker, and the Truth About PR and Journalism

By Hannah Woodhead • September 5, 2025

In sub-Saharan Africa, an interesting relationship takes place hippos and oxpecker birds (honestly, bear with me on this one). The hippo needs help with the ticks and parasites that live on its skin and the oxpeckers help out by picking off the parasites and eating them. The oxpeckers get what they want – a tasty meal. And the hippo gets cleaner, healthier skin. It’s a win-win situation. It's impossible to say whether either species values the other—but each undoubtedly plays a vital role in the other's wellbeing. This example of mutualism often comes to mind when people talk about the relationship between journalists and PRs. It’s a case of mutuality, without question, but there’s often a simmering animosity between the two. To generate truly effective PR you need to understand the needs of both sides. And that’s where Flourish excels.

The Emoji Dilemma: Do Emojis Belong in Professional Communication?

By Dane Prinsloo • July 10, 2025

Let’s be honest - emojis aren’t just for group chats and Instagram captions anymore. Whether it’s a quick thumbs-up in a Teams chat or a cheeky smile in an email, those tiny icons have found their way into our professional lives. And depending on who you ask, that’s either a welcome shift towards more human connection… or a slippery slope into an unprofessional territory. We live in a world where so much of our communication happens through screens which means our tone of voice can get lost in translation. Emojis offer a way to soften messages, add personality, and make digital interactions feel just a little more, well, human. But here’s the big question: do emojis actually enhance professional communication, or do they risk making us seem less serious, less credible, or even less competent? In this blog, Flourish are diving into both sides of the emoji-in-business debate: the benefits, the backlash, and everything in between. Because love them or hate them, emojis are not going anywhere, and it is probably time we figure out how (and when) to use them wisely.

While sharing the knowledge below, we still maintain the importance of having a professional agency with extensive industry experience.
