Not Within Scope

At Bend, we know what we are really good at. That’s why we have very specific products available for our clients. If we are working with you, we are confident that we can make an impact on your business and bottom line.

That means we are also very aware of what we are not the best at. These are skills and services that we don’t provide directly or as a primary deliverable. Sometimes we will work with other vendors as part of our engagements to deliver these services, and other times we think it’s best if you work with them yourselves.

Below is a list of services that we don’t generally have within our scope, and some agencies and vendors that might fit your need. We don’t recommend these vendors, but we have either worked with them in the past or have seen what they do.

As always, use your best judgment when identifying an agency to work with.

Look, we love a good social account. And we’ve helped some pretty big brands manage their social media in the past. But the key here is that it cost these big brands a lot of money to have us build their strategy, create their content, schedule and post their content…and by the end, it just didn’t feel super authentic.

If you’re outsourcing your social, you need a team who is really, really, really, really good at that. Because you’re going to be paying them a lot of money.

If it’s not in your budget to hire a high-quality social media agency, then focus on what you can do in-house. Keep it small, authentic, and targeted. We can help with the strategy, and you can pull together the rest.
