Marketing Retainers Let You Focus on What You Do Best
Spin Creative • April 14, 2020
If you want to take your business to the next level, you’ll probably consider implementing a creative strategy for marketing and advertising. But if you don’t have an in-house creative team ready to go (or the budget to create one), the burden of content organization, creation and implementation will fall on you. Attempting to handle too much at one time can stretch you thin, leading to subpar results.
When your marketing and advertising strategy calls for ongoing content, one solution is to hire a creative agency on retainer. This way, you can focus on your business duties without the extra stress and leave creative content to experts who understand your goals.
Creative agencies know creative
Many marketers can put together a simple campaign
with graphics, social posts and maybe even a video or two. But few have the skillset required to create an entire portfolio of top-quality content for all channels. And, even if they do, they most likely lack the time it takes to put these pieces together. This can result in lackluster content that doesn’t quite meet your vision or your desired results.
For creative agencies, on the other hand, this is what they do. Their team members have all the skills needed to create custom videos, graphics, GIFs and more for your campaign. When you hire an agency on retainer, you can be certain you’ll get high-quality content on a rolling basis that’s created by people who are great at what they do. There’s no more rushing to meet a social media content deadline or getting stuck trying to figure out a new design program.
Focus on your responsibilities while growing the business
Outside of creative, you have a lot of moving parts to manage for your business. Trying to take care of these things on top of a full creative content schedule can be overwhelming. If your plate gets too full, you might neglect things that are crucial to growing your company in other ways. Or, you may decide it’s not the right time for a creative campaign and put it on the back burner.
With a creative agency on retainer, you get the best of both worlds – a dedicated stream of content built for your brand and the time and space you need to focus on what you do best.
Of course, you’ll still need to discuss your strategy with the outsourced creative team. However, with an agency on retainer, you can trust that they understand the business and your vision for it as a dedicated long-term partner. And, if there comes a point when you want to scale up your campaigns, you can do so without the added stress, since the agency will welcome your business.
Launching a marketing campaign can work wonders for your business’s growth, but only if you have the tools and skills to do it…or have someone to help. Spin Creative offers monthly retainer social media production for brands looking to build a long-term strategy. Interested? Say hello!
About Us
Spin Creative is a video production company and creative agency helping marketers create winning video and creative strategies that engage, inspire and activate targeted audiences. Spin is headquartered in Seattle with offices in San Francisco and London, serving brands around the globe.
At Spin Creative, we believe the most effective product stories go beyond features—they tap into a clear, emotionally resonant narrative that connects with real people. That’s the lens we brought to our collaboration with Microsoft Viva, where our challenge was clear: create a high-impact video that visually captures how Copilot AI empowers people at work.
The end result? A fully 3D-animated brand film designed to wow audiences at executive keynotes, tradeshows, and enterprise events. But how we got there is just as important as what we delivered.
At Spin Creative, we’ve always believed that the power of brand storytelling lies in connecting emotionally with real people. But as artificial intelligence transforms industries at lightning speed, many marketing and creative leaders are asking the same question: What’s next for agencies like ours—and how do we continue to drive value in this new era? Here’s our point of view: AI is a powerful new tool—but not a replacement for insight, strategy, and human connection.
In 2025, digital marketing continues to be a dynamic force—shaped by shifting consumer behaviors, ever-changing platform algorithms, and increasing privacy regulations. For brands looking to maintain relevance and performance in a crowded space, staying ahead means being strategic, adaptive, and creative. At Spin Creative, we believe that clarity in brand storytelling, paired with a smart digital approach, can help brands rise above the noise.
A great video marketing campaign doesn’t start with creative—it starts with strategy. To make an impact, your brand needs more than a beautiful video; it needs a plan that aligns with your audience’s needs, your business goals, and the right distribution channels.
