Launch stage

Why is my menswear launch agency failing to deliver results?

Agencies often fail at launch because they are too dependent on paid ads that simply do not scale. You need organic volume to make your marketing work. By supplementing your agency's efforts with a managed network of organic pages, you create a baseline of traffic that doesn't depend on ad bids. This provides the results you need without firing the agency yet.

The problem

Menswear brand, launch stage: the agency isn't delivering.

01

Why agencies struggle with new launches

New brands have zero data and limited history. Agencies struggle here because their playbook is built for brands that already have a functioning funnel. They often guess at what works and burn your budget testing ads that fall flat. It is not necessarily that they are bad at their jobs, but that their standard approach is not built for the unique hurdles of a brand that has no existing momentum. You need a way to build your own traffic, not just buy it through an agency's experiments.

02

What is a managed content network

A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post the brand's existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This gives you a massive organic presence that works alongside your agency's paid campaigns. It provides consistent traffic that lowers your reliance on their testing phases and helps you reach your sales goals faster.

03

Taking control of your growth

Do not wait for your agency to figure it out. Use your assets to build your own organic machine. By distributing your content across many pages, you get visibility that your agency could never buy at this cost. This forces a change in your results. When you have a steady stream of organic traffic, your agency's paid ads can be more focused and effective. You gain leverage in your relationship with them because you are no longer 100 percent dependent on their performance for your survival.

04

Integrating a network with your agency

Ask your agency for the video assets they have produced that are performing well. Then, send these to TIDE to populate your distribution network. The network acts as a support system for the agency's efforts. If they are failing to reach enough people, this organic boost will bridge the gap. It is a proactive way to fix your launch problems. By controlling your own organic reach, you take the pressure off your agency and ensure that your brand gets the exposure it needs to start moving units.

Questions brands ask next

Should I fire my agency?

Not yet. See if giving them a better organic baseline helps them perform better. If it doesn't, you have the traffic to move forward alone.

How does the network help the agency?

It provides data and traffic that they can use to refine their ad strategies, making their paid spend more effective over time.

Does TIDE interact with the agency?

You act as the bridge. You provide the assets the agency creates to TIDE, keeping the workflows clean and the communication simple.
