We are marketers... Shouldn't we be qualified to think for ourselves and solve our marketing needs on our own. We know our products and companies faults and successes, can't we explain the "truth" to the public better than a third party? Spending money we may or may not have only to take the chance of our message being lost in translation doesn't make sense to me. Anyone else? “Well, as marketers we hire often agencies and consultants to help us solve our marketing challenges…”
