At the Backroom, we work tirelessly behind the scenes to make your marketing objectives a reality. A well-oiled machine, helping your business to thrive.

We want you to think of us as an extension to your own team. We’re the unseen engine behind the marketing magic and we’re happy to keep it that way. We’re not looking for accolades or glory – we’re here to help you shine. That’s why we work under NDAs with many of our clients. It’s why you won’t see all of our work promoted on our website or on social media.

Why outsource to an agency using an NDA?

Often, companies choose to outsource to an agency using an NDA when they don’t have the resources in-house, either because they are short-staffed, or they don’t have employees in-house with the necessary skills. Choosing to outsource tends to be more efficient and flexible than hiring in-house particularly if workloads peak and trough throughout the year.

There are many reasons to outsource a development project, including:

• Cost-efficiency: You may not need a designer full time and therefore a full year’s salary may not be justifiable. If you only have a one-off project once or twice per year you are better off outsourcing.

• Time-efficiency: With our network of resources, your project will be completed in a much more time-efficient manner than hiring an in-house designer or developer.

• Experience: By outsourcing to an agency you are getting access to the combined knowledge of an entire team who will have usually worked on various projects of different levels for different companies.

• Broad skills and tech choices: Agencies are usually proficient in multiple solutions as a team and therefore can help you determine which is best for your project. An in-house hire or a freelancer might convince you that the platform they happen to be better at is the best fit as it is easier for them and also increases their chance of being hired for the project.

• Project management: Most agencies will have project managers that can help ensure your project runs smoothly and that adequate communication is in place. This will make it easier for you to focus on other aspects of the business while the project is ongoing.

• Flexibility: When outsourcing to an agency, you have the advantage of continuous support, even if a developer is absent. If you hire in-house you run the risk of relying solely on one individual and if they are absent or leave the company then you may have to start again from scratch.

• Less effort: Takes some of the burden of you as a business so that you can focus on other priorities, also requires less time from you than managing an in-house hire would. Also, less risk for you as a business agreeing terms with an outsourcing agency. If something goes wrong or doesn’t get done in-house that is all on you.

So if you need us to work with commercially-sensitive material, or to keep schtum about your latest product, talk to us about working to a strict NDA. When it comes to your marketing, mum’s the word. We pride ourselves on good client relationships, built on trust and integrity. It’s why we’ve been working with some of our clients for over a decade.
