Managed network vs hiring for marketing managers

Short answer

When evaluating a managed content network versus hiring additional staff, real estate marketing managers must consider daily workload and result reporting. Hiring adds another person to manage, whereas a managed network automates distribution across fifty pages for about the cost of one marketing hire, operated end to end by TIDE.

Eliminating daily burnout by replacing manual posting tasks

As a marketing manager, hiring another junior employee often adds more management overhead to your plate without solving the core problem of distribution. A managed content network is run end to end by an external provider, completely removing daily manual posting, scheduling, and multi account management from your schedule.

Proving massive results to leadership without expanding headcount

Leadership often hesitates to approve new headcount during budget reviews. Priced at about the cost of one marketing hire, a managed content network allows you to deliver exponential reach and inbound lead growth across fifty branded pages, giving you undeniable proof of success to present to executives.

Maximizing the return on your existing video asset library

Instead of an internal employee spending all their time trying to create content from scratch, a managed network takes your existing construction updates and project walkthroughs and syndicates them across a massive ecosystem of pages, maximizing the mileage of every asset you produce.

Assessing when hiring freelance or agency support is better

Hiring freelance videographers is useful when you need fresh on site footage of specific property milestones. However, managed networks complement freelancers by taking their raw footage and distributing it at a scale that individual hires or small agencies cannot match.

Marketing managers can eliminate daily burnout and prove massive results by choosing managed networks over hiring.
