Guide to Full-Service Advertising Agencies in Texas
How to choose a local Texas advertising agency
By Shannon Ambroson, Writer
You can advertise yourself, distributing fliers and posting signs, but eventually that may not be enough. When you can no longer handle the demands of promotions yourself, consider local advertising agencies. Dallas, Texas, as well as Austin, San Antonio, Houston and many other large cities fill the state with creative potential.
Hire Texas advertising agencies to:
1. Increase your business profits by increasing brand awareness.
2. Delegate advertising to Texas ad agencies so you can get back to your everyday business tasks.
3. Help the local economy by choosing a Texas advertising company in your area.
4. Get a new creative and fundamental perspective from professionals.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Identify your business needs, establish a budget and then contact ad agencies in Texas
Look closely at your current advertising plan and discuss options with your staff, deciding what aspects of marketing are important to your business. Take notes, focusing on what you like and don't like about your plan, so you'll know what to look for when searching for ad agencies in Texas.
I recommend: Browse industry websites to find out what sorts of services you can get from local advertising agencies. Austin, Texas, company Gary Davis Media gives you tips to find out if television advertising is right for your company. The Austin firm, MDS Advertising, works with brand identity, packaging, multimedia and print and online ads.
Find local full-service advertising agencies in Texas
Texas has many large cities and a large variety of creative talent within the state to assist you in advertising locally and nationally. When you're searching, consider the types of promotion you need: outdoor, print, broadcast, press releases or web design.
I recommend: Ask colleagues for suggestions and look in your area for full-service advertising agencies. Houston, Texas, agency MergingDesign uses integrated marketing to help your local or national company continue to grow. Smaller firms such as Briscoe Hall in Kerrville and Hadfield Communications in Cypress offer resources in copywriting, web design and digital marketing.
Contact potential Texas ad agencies and meet with their staff to evaluate the firm
Narrow your search to about 4 to 6 Texas advertising agencies and set up meetings with agency staff. Browse company websites before the meetings, looking at online portfolios and service listings. Ask for a complete list of services and updated portfolios to browse during the meeting.
I recommend: Meet with the creative staff to make sure you get along with the team. Advertising agencies in Dallas, Texas, like agencyHartwell, Bagwell Marketing and M/C/C do more than traditional print and broadcast advertising. Contact the teams to ask about services such as trade show marketing, media planning and crisis management.
Choose a Texas advertising agency and implement your new ad campaign
Once you have met with your top candidates, choose the advertising agency with the most potential to boost your product's brand awareness and company's profits. Appoint a point of contact, POC, to work directly with the agency and report any progress to you.
I recommend: Finalize a budget and promotions campaign with your chosen agency. Have your POC act as liaison between you and the agency, finalizing decisions and making sure your campaign is working. Start small with Texas ad agencies like Ad Cetera in Addison and McKinleyBrown in Waco and add more projects as your budget allows.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Continue other forms of free advertising such as word-of-mouth, a MySpace page or business marketing partnerships. Use an advertising agency in Dallas, Texas, or elsewhere, to supplement your current plan.
