Business is built on the idea of competitive advantage. Simply put, people and organizations have different strengths and weaknesses. They have a competitive advantage when they are doing things they are relatively good at and they are at a competitive disadvantage when they are working in areas where they possess less aptitude. Often, the key to success is spending more of your time in the work you do really well and less of your time in activities where you are an average performer.
A quick search through LinkedIn reveals businesses hire a social media strategist for anywhere from $40,000-$60,000 a year. Anyone who has tried taking on their own digital advertising knows this is money well spent. At first you may think you’ll be the one to post, or you will assign it to one of your current employees, with the vision that once you start posting your revenue will increase. Soon you will realize two things: one, digital advertising campaigns take up a lot of time to manage, and two, posting as a business the same way you post on your personal social media account does not increase your monthly revenue. Any smart business owner will quickly move away from this approach because it doesn’t add any value unless you do it right, and it pulls them, or the person they assign, away from work that is adding value to the business.
It’s easy to see why you would hire a specialist, but what kind of person would be able to step into that position and really make an impact on the performance of your business? Another quick scan of LinkedIn job postings show businesses are looking to hire someone as their digital marketing director with 3-7 years of experience in digital marketing in order to fill the position. This employee will be responsible for representing the company on Facebook, Google, and the official company website. They must be able to write, edit, design, photograph, andor film engaging content. And, perhaps most important, they need to understand market trends and know how to put all of these tools to work in a strategic digital advertising campaign. It would take an impressive individual to fill this role on their own, and it is no surprise to find out that many marketing managers will hire a support team or out source one or more of these specialties.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ What competitive advantages does Duo Marketing Group offer when hiring social media marketers in Logan?
Duo Marketing Group offers a significant competitive advantage over hiring an individual social media strategist. Rather than paying $40,000–$60,000 per year for a single employee (who typically needs additional support for specialized tasks), you get access to an entire team with a combined 34 years of social media management experience, 28 years in digital advertising, 12 years in copywriting, 14 years in web design, 23 years in photography, and more — all in one monthly partnership. This gives Logan businesses expert-level capability across all digital marketing disciplines at a fraction of the cost of building an in-house team.
+ How does Duo Marketing Group justify the investment in social media advertising services for Logan businesses?
Duo Marketing Group justifies the investment by focusing on what they do best — expert-level digital marketing — so Logan business owners can focus on what they do best: running their business. Attempting to manage digital advertising in-house typically pulls business owners or employees away from high-value activities, and without the right expertise, social media posting alone rarely increases revenue. Duo brings strategic campaigns, data analysis, professional creative, and platform expertise that consistently deliver measurable results, making the investment easy to justify when you see the returns.
+ What specific social media advertising strategies does Duo Marketing Group use to help Logan companies connect with their customers?
Duo Marketing Group uses a comprehensive suite of social media advertising strategies including targeted Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns, audience building and retargeting, engaging content creation (writing, design, photography, and video), strategic posting and boosting, and detailed performance analytics. Their team understands how to put all of these tools together in a strategic digital advertising campaign that moves customers through the marketing funnel — from awareness to engagement to conversion — for Logan businesses across a wide range of industries.
+ How can Logan businesses determine if hiring a social media strategist from Duo Marketing Group is the right choice for their marketing needs?
The key question is whether your current marketing is producing the results you need, and whether your team has the bandwidth and expertise to make it happen. If social media management is pulling you or your employees away from core business activities, or if your digital advertising isn’t generating measurable ROI, partnering with Duo is worth exploring. Duo offers a free strategy call where they assess your current marketing, discuss your goals, and recommend a customized approach — so you can make an informed decision without any pressure or commitment.
