🚀 Thinking about hiring a marketing agency for your startup? Read this before you sign on the dotted line (hint: it starts with strategy).

At Oh My Digital, we love helping brands grow. But there’s one thing we don’t do—and that’s work with startups on a monthly retainer. Not because we don’t believe in them (we do!), but because we know outsourcing too soon can actually slow you down.

🚩 Why We Don’t Work With Startups (Yet!)

1. ROI Takes Time
   If your business isn’t bringing in $30k/month in revenue, agency fees can feel like a high-stakes gamble rather than a growth strategy. Marketing takes time, and without stable revenue, you might not see returns fast enough to justify the investment. 
2. You Need a Solid Strategy First
   Hiring an agency without a clear customer journey, organic funnel, and brand positioning is like running a marathon without training. You might get somewhere, but it won’t be efficient—or sustainable.
3. We Refuse to Play the “Churn & Burn” Game
   Some agencies take on startups just because they can. We don’t. We’d rather help you grow sustainably than take your money knowing the results won’t be immediate.

💡 What to Do Instead (Hint: It Starts With Strategy)

If you’re not at $30k/month yet, the best thing you can do is invest in a strong marketing strategy—not an agency retainer.

That’s exactly why we created the Digital Marketing Playbook. It’s your personalized roadmap to marketing success—so you’re not just guessing your way to growth.
