Start with what is getting stuck
List the work that keeps being pushed back. Is the problem a lack of direction, missing content, delivery capacity or a website that no longer supports the business?
The answer helps distinguish a particular project from a need for more regular support.
Choose a project when the brief is defined
A website, a photography brief or a campaign may have a clear beginning, deliverables and review points. A project scope gives everyone a shared view of what is included and what completion means.
If the brief is still uncertain, start by agreeing the work needed to define it.
Choose ongoing support when the priorities keep moving
Regular marketing support can bring planning, creative work and delivery into a manageable rhythm. It needs agreed capacity, responsibilities and a way to review priorities.
Decide what your own team will handle and where you need support. A partnership should make those boundaries clearer.
Look beyond the list of services
Ask who will understand the business, who will do the work and how decisions will be made. Look at relevant projects and ask what the relationship involved.
Discuss how progress will be assessed, which information is available and what depends on your team following up an enquiry or opportunity.
Agree a workable next step
Start with the business need and choose the scope around it. That might be a focused project, a regular marketing partner or a broader outsourced relationship.
