Most Brands Switch Marketing Agencies Every 6 Months — Here’s Why It Hurts Their Growth

by Chad de Lisle October 30, 2025

Why Most Brands Switch Agencies So Often

Let’s face it: most brands switch marketing agencies every 6 months.

Why? Because the relationship stops delivering results—or worse, it was never built on a solid foundation.

Here’s the pattern we see all too often:

  • Short-term tactics.
  • Shiny new platforms.
  • Quarter-to-quarter panic.

This doesn’t just waste money. It:

  • Kills momentum.
  • ⛔ Destroys trust.
  • ⛔ Erodes confidence in marketing itself.

What If It Didn’t Have to Be This Way?

Case Study: A 10-Year Success Story

We’ve been working with A Plus Garage Doors for over 10 years. In marketing years, that’s a lifetime.

In an industry where most relationships fail within two quarters, this long-lasting collaboration is proof there’s a better way to work.

Here’s how we did it: not with luck, not with comfort, but with clarity of vision, purpose, and alignment.

The A Plus Growth Formula: Purpose + Performance + Vision

When A Plus came to us, they weren’t asking for a one-time campaign—they wanted a marketing system designed to evolve and scale with their business.

So, we started where most skip: clarity of vision.

It’s what every business says they have, but few can measure. 

That’s why we built a process to do exactly that — to make alignment visible and actionable.

6 Critical Drivers of Growth Clarity:

1️⃣ Purpose Beyond Profit — What drives your team and resonates with your customers?

2️⃣ Clear Differentiators — What makes you unmistakably you in a crowded market?

3️⃣ Values in Action — Are your values guiding real decisions and behaviors?

4️⃣ Customer Success — How quickly are customers experiencing value?

5️⃣ Earning While Scaling — Are you growing sustainably and fairly?

6️⃣ Vision + Execution Alignment — Can you match long-term goals with short-term action at speed?

The Results Speak for Themselves

With clarity as our foundation, everything else compounded.

Here’s what A Plus Garage Doors achieved:

✅ Grew from a single Utah location to multiple states.
✅ Established a recognizable, trusted brand.
✅ Turned short-term campaigns into sustainable, scalable performance.

When your vision is clear, your marketing isn’t just effective—it’s aligned with growth.

Why Alignment Always Outperforms Metrics

Let’s get one thing straight: A Plus didn’t stay with us for 10 years because we never missed a metric.

They stayed because we never lost alignment between:

  • Strategy and execution.
  • Data-driven results and emotional purpose.
  • Big-picture growth goals and daily actions.

That’s the difference between being an agency and being a true partner.

When clarity drives the work, trust grows—and so do results.

If You Want Longevity, Start with Vision Clarity

Most companies are not failing because of bad campaigns. 

They’re failing because of blurred vision.

That’s why we built the Vision Assessment—a free, 10-minute tool that shows you exactly where your business is aligned (and where it’s quietly drifting).

What the Vision Assessment Includes:

✅ An Instant Vision Alignment Score (0–100%)

✅ Section-by-section insights into the 6 drivers of business growth.

✅ Clear next steps to improve clarity and focus.

👉 Take the 10-minute Vision Assessment

Pro Tip: The strongest partnerships aren’t built on promises—they’re built on shared vision.

Let’s align, grow, and win together.
