What is a Creative Content Agency?

There are all sorts of marketing agencies today designed to help businesses build their brand identity and successfully sell their products or services. A creative content agency is one of them, but unlike general marketing firms that may offer a broad range of advertising and marketing solutions, a creative content agency focuses primarily on high quality content creation.

Quality content provides the bedrock for a company’s online presence. Without high quality content driven by a sophisticated content strategy, businesses will find it tough to improve their page rank with the search engines or achieve their marketing goals. A content marketing agency partners with businesses to develop the brand’s story, its meaningful content, and effective content that’s optimized for search engines.

Types of Creative Agencies

Today, businesses can find a service digital marketing agency that may specialize in social media marketing, marketing strategy, full service marketing campaigns, or specific content marketing that involves any type of content (i.e. landing pages, blogs, social media, web content, etc…). At Stretch Creative, for example, by focusing exclusively on content marketing and strategy, we’re a one stop shop for all content needs. However, a full service marketing agency may offer content development, but it may lack the refined focus that a content agency boasts.

Here are the basic types of creative marketing firms you can expect to find working to support businesses today:

Full Service Marketing Firm

A full service creative agency offers just what you’d expect--everything. These are generalists. While this type of marketing agency might offer content marketing services, they also tend to provide account management, public relations solutions, advertising, website development, SEO solutions, and more.

Marketing Agency

A marketing agency specializes in promoting a company’s products and services. To that end, they tend to offer product research services, marketing strategy, advertising, social media advertising, and more. Its marketers may or may not have professional copywriting experience.

Digital Marketing Agency

A digital marketing agency focuses on online marketing activities. Its marketers will offer similar services to a marketing agency, but with a more narrow focus.

Advertising Agency

An advertising agency focuses on actual advertisements that appear on radio, television, and on the internet. They offer more narrow marketing services as they relate exclusively to advertising a business’s products or services.

While these marketing companies offer services that may be necessary for businesses, they do not specialize in content development to the extent that a content creative agency does. In fact, many of these marketing agencies tend to partner with creative content marketing agencies in order to generate a wide range of content to support their overall marketing efforts.

What Does a Creative Content Agency Do?

Unlike other marketing agencies, a creative content agency focuses more or less exclusively on content production. Think of it like this: would you go to your general medical practitioner if you had a heart condition or would you rather obtain more specialized, expert care for your heart from a cardiologist? Sure, a service digital marketing agency may offer some content strategy and content development services, but they don’t have a copywriting team that specializes or works solely in content production, which is why, especially when substantial SEO content is needed, these marketing firms will scout around to partner with marketing and media agencies that are content experts.

Creative content marketing agencies are not all alike, of course, but they do focus on content, generating it in one way or another. Some creative content agencies might contract with a wide array of freelance writers to produce general website and online content for a wide range of business types and products. Stretch Creative, on the other hand, features a hand-selected creative group that produces storytelling content, brand-specific content, and business content that is strategically aligned with clients' marketing goals and search engine optimization needs.

Stretch Creative features content specialists who are able to provide original, dynamic content for:

• Business / organization websites
• Business blogs
• Product descriptions
• Landing pages
• Email marketing campaigns
• Social media marketing campaigns / social media platform content
• White papers / ebooks
• Press releases and more

Today, content marketing is a cornerstone of a business’s online marketing campaign. The talented group at Stretch can create content with a company’s target audience and content strategy in mind.

Content Agency FAQs

Do creative content agencies help with creating a content marketing strategy?

Unfortunately, not every content agency offer services like content marketing strategy development. This can lead to the delivery of content that’s largely disjointed from the business’s marketing goals, target audience, its own creative team, and even its business sector. One of the reasons that Stretch Creative has developed a strategy development process is to ensure that clients and writers always remain on the same page; this leads to finely crafted content that performs according to the most specific metrics and analytics. In short, we produce creative content that brims with brand identity, but also conveys brand storytelling that’s consistent across all of the company’s content in order to generate customer loyalty and sales.

Where should I look when hiring creative content marketing agencies?

We’re a boutique content creation agency that was founded by industry pros.

Are Creative Content Agencies Expensive?

If you contract with a content marketing firm that contracts with English-as-a-second-language copywriters who charge a penny per word, you can expect a more affordable price tag for your marketing content than if you contract with a world class creative content agency firm like Stretch. We’re not the highest priced firm or the lowest; however, we do believe in paying our professional, degreed writers their worth. Our writers are our product--it’s through their work that we’re able to deliver the valuable content our clients need to improve their sales--and bottom line.
