A typical agency relationship is transactional: you hand over a brief, they execute it, you review the results. A marketing department — even an external one — is different: it owns the whole system, from strategy to execution to reporting, the way an in-house team would, without the hiring overhead of building one.
That’s the model we run. Full-stack marketing function, not a single service bolted onto a business.
