Is Hiring Multiple Marketing Agencies a Good Crowdfunding Strategy?

By Anonymous

You’ve just kicked the launch button on your crowdfunding project… 

And instead of the tidal wave of pledges you were hoping for, you’re receiving something else entirely: messages from marketers trying to sell you on their promotion services.

Not really what you signed up for, right?

As a project creator, the attention can be overwhelming - and it can easily turn your focus away from the campaign you’ve painstakingly built over months or even years.

Now, you’re scrambling to evaluate all of these marketing offers and the truth is that they all SOUND fantastic. But that’s just surface level—how reputable are these firms? And more importantly, which one should you choose?

Which agency do I choose?
