Five reasons why an event and communications partner agency might just be the right fit for you

2020 has certainly forced many organisations to work differently – not only physically but strategically and operationally.

As we look to 2021, planning for the future can be difficult when the goal posts keeping changing and the workload is fluid.

Many organisations will find themselves having a clear vision, but loose plan.

What does this mean though when trying to plan your staffing and resources?

Partnering with an event, communications or volunteer engagement agency like Fetching Events & Communications, could be just the right fit for you.

​Want to know why? Here are our top five reasons why partnering with an agency could be the solution to your challenges.

• ​Agility - As your needs expand and contract, so can your partnership. Rather than committing to a full time team or getting locked into a contract, you can access services from your partner agency as you need and on a project by project basis.
  
  
• Flexibility – As your planning continues to be shaped by events around us, as well as by the needs of your audience and community, the skills you require will continue to shift. Working with your partner agency allows you to tap into an array of skills and knowledge, covering a range of roles, dependent on your needs.
  
  
• Insights  – Your partner agency will not only bring their skills to you, they will bring industry insights. You will benefit from fresh outlooks, industry knowledge and trends as well as knowing they always have their finger on the pulse.
  
  
• Support – You don’t always have to fully outsource to an agency. Engaging a partner agency for strategic support, mentoring or to compliment your existing teams can be just as effective.
  You may have an in-house team that needs extra support, resources, coaching or strategic help. This is where a partner agency can step in. In addition, a partner agency can step in when staff leave and you need to quickly fill a gap. In fact, at Fetching Events & Communications, we become part of your family.
  
  
• Value – The common misconception is that you pay more for an agency than a staff member. This is in fact wrong. You are not only paying for particular skills and service with your partner agency, you are also paying for efficiency. Many times we have seen the labour time of a staff member undertaking a new task, outside their skill set, exceed the cost of engaging a specialised partner.
