🐒 What No One Tells You About Hiring a Marketing Agency (But We Will)

Let’s be real — hiring a marketing agency can feel like dating someone you met on the internet. You’re hopeful, skeptical, a little excited, and low-key afraid they’ll ghost you after promising “big results.” 🙈

At Cheeky Chimp Marketing, we get it. We are that agency (minus the ghosting, plus a whole lot of banana puns). So let’s swing right into the jungle and talk about what no one tells you about hiring a marketing agency — especially if you’re a small business trying to make a big noise.

1. You’re Not “Too Small” for Big Results 🍌

A lot of small businesses in Manitoba hesitate to hire an agency because they think they’re not big enough. Newsflash: You don’t need a Fortune 500 budget to get noticed. What you need is strategy, creativity, and a team that actually cares (🙋 hi, that’s us).

2. Strategy Isn’t Just a Buzzword (But It Shouldn’t Be Boring)

We don’t just throw spaghetti at the wall and call it content. A good marketing agency will sit down with you (figuratively or with donuts) and build a real plan — one that fits your goals, speaks your brand language, and doesn’t rely on trends that die faster than TikTok dances.

3. We’re Part Therapist, Part Cheerleader, Part Wizard

Hiring a marketing agency is a little like gaining a weirdly enthusiastic business bestie. We’ll remind you of your brand’s worth on the days you feel stuck. We’ll also push you to try that video idea you’re nervous about. And yes — we do sprinkle a little magic into your analytics.

4. We Know Algorithms, But We Speak Human

We’ll optimize your content with SEO magic (hello, “marketing agency in Manitoba” and “digital marketing help for small businesses”) — but we’ll always write for people first. Because robots don’t buy your product — people do. Unless you sell robot parts, in which case… cool.

5. It’s OK to Ask Questions (Even “What’s a CTA?”)

No judgment. We want you to feel confident and clear. Whether it’s “What does ROI actually mean?” or “Why is everyone obsessed with carousels now?” — we’ll explain it without the jargon.
