We received an impecable service from Brett and the team. We received exactly what we've ordered at a really good price. As a rising social impact organisation, every penny spend without the exchange of value could paralise our mission. But, The Ethical Agency, even though they work with global organisations, they were flexible to support us and we are very happy with their service. Bret went above what the briefing required, by taking his time to call/ virtual meet with us to provide added support. The team live up-to their organisation's name and values. A big thanks to you Brett and the team. We hope to work with you guys again in the near future!

Digital marketing services FAQs

We understand digital marketing can feel overwhelming.  That’s why we take a transparent and client-centred approach.  Our team of experts will guide you through every step of the process, from initial consultation to ongoing campaign management. We believe in clear communication and keeping things above-board, so you can focus on running your business while we handle the digital marketing complexities.

How much do your digital marketing services cost?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer because our services are customised to your specific needs and goals. However, we offer a range of service packages and can tailor a solution that fits your budget. During a free 30 minute consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and develop a proposal outlining the services included and the associated cost.
Do you offer any pay-as-you-go options?
Yes,  we offer some services on a pay-as-you-go basis. This allows you to have greater control over your budget and only pay for specific outcomes.
How long will it take to see results?
The timeframe for seeing results can vary depending on several factors, including:

  • Your industry and target audience
  • The specific goals of your campaign (e.g., brand awareness vs. lead generation)
  • The level of competition in your market

However, in our experience, you can expect to see some initial results within a few weeks or months for some strategies like social media marketing.  More complex strategies like SEO can take longer, typically 6-12 months, to see significant organic traffic growth.

We’ll work with you to set realistic expectations and track your progress towards your goals throughout the campaign.

How often will I receive updates on my campaign performance?
We believe in transparency and communication. You’ll receive regular reports (usually weekly or monthly) that detail your campaign’s performance and progress towards your goals.  We also schedule regular meetings to discuss the results and make any necessary adjustments to your strategy.
What is the process for working with The Ethical Agency?
Here’s a general overview of our process:

  1. Free Consultation: We’ll discuss your business goals, target audience, and current marketing efforts.
  2. Campaign Strategy Development: Based on our consultation, we develop a customised digital marketing strategy tailored to your needs.
  3. Implementation: We’ll start implementing your campaign, which may include tasks like website optimisation, content creation, social media management, or launching advertising campaigns.
  4. Reporting & Optimization: We’ll provide regular reports on the performance of your campaign and make adjustments as needed to optimise results.
  5. Ongoing Support: We’re committed to your success and offer ongoing support throughout your campaign.

We understand you might have specific questions about the process for a particular service.  Feel free to contact us for a free consultation to discuss your needs in more detail.
