Like anything you build, your brand needs to be maintained. It\u2019s a facet of your business that requires regular input\u2014the challenge is the input it requires is likely outside of your core expertise.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this leaves two options: developing your internal capabilities or forming an external partnership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a few considerations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the responsibility of maintaining your brand might be continual, but not necessarily continuous. Does the workflow necessitate a salaried employee, or can it be bolstered by other daily tasks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the nature of what needs to get done. Can one person execute the range and variety of work involved in brand-building without diluting the quality of the output? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in a position to bring on multiple staff or build an internal team to support multiple advisors, how does that add up with respect to payroll, overhead, insurance and other expenses? And if your needs change, what flexibility will you have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about your own time? Given the goals you have for growth or development, what will be the most productive use of your work hours? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, as you may have guessed, is the value and flexibility of an external partner. Think about what you could get out of a team that has all the relevant branding capabilities already developed, ready to address your needs as they evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many, it\u2019s a question of dollars and cents. And it becomes clear once you define the full cost of producing internally the kind of brand that will establish your practice as a premium option. For example, our average CMO partnership is roughly the cost of a single entry-level employee, but it produces the output of a full, specialized studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to see any value from it, your brand will be a line item in your yearly budget for as long as you\u2019re in business. But higher costs don\u2019t always yield better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
