Everything you need to start, run and scale a digital agency

Niche: 

First and foremost you need to figure out your niche. What do you specify in, what sets you apart and what industry you are in. When going into selecting your main specification it is important to know that you are fully familiar with the industry, competition and trends. Many niches come and go as time moves on, it is extremely important to sit and fully research your specific one to ensure success with changing times. After you have selected the field you will be working with and the niche you specialize in it gets easier to work in developing said niche.

You can start off with identifying which niche does your agency provide in the market and to your clients. By knowing your USP (Unique Selling Proposition), you have a higher chance of marketing your services with more ease. To know your USP you can run a SWOL analysis (situational assessment as some may say). This can help you gather your weaknesses and strengths all together to make a better conclusion.

Target Audience: 

Knowing your client and who you will be providing your service to makes it easier to provide a business plan and marketing strategy. Target Audience does not limit itself to specific users but can vary over the range of gender, age and careers. Say, a younger target audience with a more male centric crowd will be more accessible if you go over to a specific part of social media and vice versa. Imagine you are in a room full of a diverse group of people. To know your crowd you will easily be able to seek out the group near a specific corner of the room. This way you know where to place yourself, a similar idea goes for when running an agency. Knowing your crowd and corners makes it easier for you to know where you want to place yourself. 

Business plan: 

Once you’re done with all of that you need to make a framework that will work as the backbone of your upcoming business career. Running an agency may sound intimidating but the creative control you have over something that will be run under you, especially online, gives you the freedom of pushing your limits to the skies. A rough format that you can follow for a business plan can go like:
