Digital agency space has always been competitive, a characteristic that has been ramped up in recent years with the rapid digitalization of the industry. Yet the ongoing pandemic and the global recession has forced digital agencies to rethink about their style of functioning and the area of activities. In order to stay relevant, agencies are feeling the pressure more than ever to remain ahead of the curve and the latest emerging techniques will play a major role for the digital agencies to survive in the times of crisis.

The digital agency is one industry where we can find a high rate of competitiveness with a high demand for digital services. The change in the demand brought by this global pandemic has thrown new challenges at digital agencies. In order to survive under these new conditions, digital agencies are being forced to rethink their strategy and product offering in order to keep pace with the changing demands of clients. Technology will play a major role in this regard. State of the art technology and out of the box thinking can help the digital agencies to cope up with the pressure imbibed by the global crisis.

Change is often difficult, challenging, and threatening but the gain out of this is also creating opportunities. We are all facing massive changes in every arena right now. But the only way to survive your business is to accept the reality and move forward with changes.

Many agencies have already started making changes and have started taking care of their clients’ requirements through best practices. Now work from home is the new way of functioning in every industry and agencies should know that things taken for granted may be new for many clients.  Deepen relationships right now by hosting a webinar or writing a guide to help them navigate this new world. If the work is done with a defined industry vertical, share that advice more broadly and make new connections in the process.

It may seem counterintuitive to expand our horizons during the uncertainty period, but the essential transformation is needed. Agencies who meaningfully address this for themselves and their clients will do better than those who don’t.

Some agencies are seeing a surge in activity and inquiries especially in the areas of E- commerce. Such agencies can always opt for hiring extremely talented employees and use them for the transformation. If the agencies act quickly to move along the crisis they will be in track as fast as possible. If agencies try some innovative ideas and are able to keep up the hopes of the market they can exist and thrive towards a better future. Digital agencies should become an area of various creative activities to stay in the competition and choice is always open. After all change is what is needed to survive in the future.
