Are You Looking For Results?
If any of these painful points strike a chord, then you’re not alone. From small businesses to large corporates, digital chaos abounds and results in directionless spending on “the next big thing.”
However, it’s not your fault. Digital marketing agencies are making a fortune out of this confusion and the lack of time and resources available to decision-makers.

Instant Gratification – Bad Language in the Digital Ecosystem!
We live in a 2-minute noodle society. Everybody wants it all, and they want it now. However, faster isn’t always better, and often, it’s not even possible.
Think of digital marketing like planting a seed. You select the best soil, the best spot in the sun, and you water it liberally. The next day you see, to your horror, that nothing has happened. Obviously, your seed must be broken, so you throw it away and plant another one.
Digital marketing takes time. But… your digital marketing agency should still be showing you results from the start.
The Digital Coach team works closely with you to establish the unique needs of your business.
What You Should Expect From Your Digital Marketing Agency
Planning for Success
Problem
I think that “everyone is my audience.” I think that my competition is the guy up the road, and I have something of a spray-and-pray approach to my marketing.
Solution
What exactly do you sell? Who are your ideal clients? Where do they hang out online? What language do they use? What are their buying cycles? Who is your competition? What are your expectations?
We work with you to establish this information which sets you up for success and forms the framework for your digital marketing strategy.
Execute for Results
Problem
Facebook likes don’t equate to sales. Funny cat videos don’t boost your brand. You are struggling to decipher the correct message and method of communication for your desired outcome.
Solution
Knowing how to speak to your audience in terms that they will understand, knowing the imagery that will entice them, and having the experience to put together the best ad campaign for immediate results is what we do every day.
We know the psychology of what makes people buy, what colours and words work best for certain industries or demographics, and how to unpack these in an easily-digestible way.
Report and Measure
Problem
You don’t know what worked and what didn’t. You have no idea how much you spent on the channels you used, or if you were better off with a leaflet campaign.
Solution
We track everything! Which words were more effective in the ads? What time of day do you get the most engagement? How much did each lead cost you? What can we add or remove to make this campaign even better?
Each business has its own unique personality and therefore different strategies are required – there is no one-size-fits-all marketing solution. Which means that it’s important that we share information and uncover the winning formula for your company.
Digital Coach clients know exactly how much they are spending on each lead and how it affects their turnover.
Digital DIY – Can You Go It Alone?
Would you trust Janet from reception to draft your company’s annual tax return? Would you get Colin from sales to install your new air-conditioner? Could your junior administrator be trusted to manage your key accounts?
If the answer to these questions is a resounding “No!” then why would you consider tasking an untrained staff member with marketing your business?
Dabbling in Digital = Digital Waste
Digital marketing for business is not simply a nice-to-have bolt-on which can be assigned to anyone to knows how to use Facebook. It represents the education of your audience, the collection of leads, the sales process, and each step of your customer journey.
Dabbling in digital marketing is most often a waste of money and a waste of time. Who can afford that?
However, what if you would really like to keep your digital marketing in-house?

Case Study
An online store had been ticking over for several years, but wanted to see more growth. On the surface they were doing the right things: maintaining a good website, regular social media activity and reaching out via newsletters.
It was clear that they needed some external input. “We had so many ideas, but we were struggling to get the clarity to prioritise.”
Meeting with the Digital Coach team was enlightening.
“We refined and spent a lot of time on who we are, what our (online) personality is and who we want to relate to.”
The result?
- Turnover has grown by 26%
- Average number of daily orders is up 38%
- Average basket value up by 20%
- Email newsletter subscriptions are up 160% within 2 months. The open rate is 42% which is considerably higher than the industry average of 17% and the click through rate is now 21% versus 2.5%.
