The first thing you experience when you sign up with a digital marketing agency is the first
month in a new job. It’s challenging, especially when one is completely new, because there is so
much to be discovered and so many different approaches, aims, and methods to become
familiar with. This blog is intended to prepare both new employees at the agency and a client
who is working with this agency for the first time about what to anticipate within the initial thirty
days.
Day 1-7: Orientation and Onboarding
In the first week, students are often first exposed to an orientation process during the semester.
This will include orienting myself to the team, understanding the mission and the value system
of the agency, and the structure of the agency in the health system. During the onboarding
process you will also learn about the tools and platforms that the agency employs for its work.
There will be just so many of such things to be filled up, such as NDAs, tax returns, and a lot of
other such legal contracts you might be signing. Also, your manager or HR rep will help you get
familiar with particular tools, applications, and the company’s local area network.
Day 8-14: Understanding Your Role
In the second week, the focus is made on the enhancement of the role and responsibilities
within the agency. Your immediate supervisor will introduce you to the overall job description,
the organization’s goals and objectives, and how to fit you into a specific team if you are new to
the company.
If you are a client, then you come across your account manager and their
subordinates/colleagues. They will describe their services, the method they will be using to
execute it, and the milestones that you should expect them to achieve for your business.
Day 15-21: Getting Acquainted with the Tools and Processes
In the third week, you are going to concentrate on getting more acquainted with the tools and
process that are being implemented by the agency. This is all about becoming familiar with the
content management systems, project management tools, analytics tools, and any other tools
they use in their business every day.
It is for clients that you will start to get a deeper insight into your custom dashboard, which helps
in tracking everything from progress and reports down to communicating with the account
manager.
Day 22-30: Relationships and actions
The last week will be centered on developing good working relationships with your peers, colleagues, or your agency team. This will include meeting with the team, working in groups to conduct meetings, and being involved in the session-making process. Most importantly, it is great to foster friendly relations with the workers because it is usually an important aspect that will help determine the success of any given project.
For clients, this is when you will begin to see movement on your account and determine who is
actually doing work. For instance, your digital marketing agency may start with an SEO
campaign, create a social media profile, or launch an email marketing campaign. Throughout
this period you will be in touch with the account manager and the rest of the team to track the
progress and discuss changes and improvements if necessary.
What to Expect Moving Forward
Subsequent to the first month, you will be adjusting to more changes in the complex field of
digital marketing. This can be through registration for trainings, seminars, workshops, and other
technical meetings to become acquainted with new trends in the general market and the
company.
It is assumed that clients will be updated on the campaign status that they have in social media
and also updates with their account managers on their results and possible changes that can
improve. There will be ongoing improvement and adjustment to processes by the agencies
needed for improving the outcomes of their clients.
Therefore, the first month that a client hires a digital marketing agency, and the same goes for
new employees, is a critical phase. This makes the foundation for proper working relations and
allows for further development, acquisition of new knowledge, and achievement.
Conclusion
In fact, the first month might look very intimidating because it is critical for setting the rapport,
clarifying responsibilities, and integrating the measures that will create a foundation for your
success in the future. The more you engage with your digital marketing agency, the more other
advantages that come with having a team of professionals will be revealed to you as you strive
towards achieving what you need and even setting higher records within your niche.
