First and foremost, let’s get acquainted with Ragnarok. We’re a crew of marketing and martech wizards dedicated to helping brands achieve rapid growth through our innovative solutions, which typically involve strategy, design, and development.

Our partners often describe Ragnarok as hitting the sweet spot, just like Goldilocks finding the perfect porridge temperature. We’re bigger than your friendly neighborhood freelancer, but not as massive as those global conglomerate agencies.

What sets us apart? Well, it’s a combination of our competitive pricing, diverse range of services, and unparalleled attentiveness to your needs. Let us break it down for you.

1. Resources

Big agencies may tempt you with their vast array of capabilities, but accessing those resources often comes with a hefty price tag. And guess who ends up footing the bill for that large team?

On the other hand, freelancers sit on the opposite end of the spectrum. If you’re fortunate enough to find an incredibly talented designer who’s also reliable, consider yourself lucky. But what if halfway through the project, you realize you need a social strategist? Well, that’s when you’ll find yourself doing all the legwork.

Now, here’s where the Ragnarok team shines. We’re built differently. Our nimble squad of marketers, creatives, and tech experts is carefully assembled to perfectly match the specific needs of each project. Not more, not less. And here’s the best part: If your needs change along the way, we can swiftly reconfigure our formation to assemble the right team for your updated goals. We’ve got the flexibility to adapt and deliver.

2. Price

When you engage a big agency, they often push you towards an inflated package or insist on signing a lengthy retainer, making you feel like it’s the only way to be a “real company.” But let’s be real, that inflated price is likely going towards luxuries like an in-office dog nanny or nitro cold brew on tap. It’s not exactly what you need, right?

On the other end, you have specialist freelancers who can offer you precisely the service you require at reasonable rates. However, when it’s time to scale or diversify, they may lack the bandwidth or skillset to meet your evolving needs. And so, the search begins anew.

Here at Ragnarok, as an agile agency, we’re built to pivot, flex, and adapt based on our clients’ needs. When we embark on a new project, our team meticulously crafts a tailored scope for each deliverable, aligning with your goals and budget, to ensure the most efficient path forward. As we collaborate, we actively seek opportunities to expand our scope in logical areas, enhancing our deliverables and dedicating the right team members to meet the demands of your growing business.

And guess what? We’re not just mindful of your bottom line; we’re here to help grow your topline too! We’ve got your back on all fronts.

3. Collaboration

At Ragnarok, we’re not just a team; we’re a diverse and engaged bunch of marketing, creative, and tech professionals who work closely together day in and day out. We take it a step further by having certified partnerships and subject matter expertise with the best-in-breed tech stacks on the market planet. This combination allows us to confidently say that we’ll deliver the absolute best product possible.

Now, let’s talk about our big agency compadres. It’s quite ironic how things can feel lonely even with a crowd of people around. Large agencies tend to hire a lot of staff, which can sometimes result in a less personal relationship with their clients unless you’re a top spender. You might also find that your spend dictates the level of expertise you can access, leading to lengthy waits for a subject matter expert to address your specific issues.

As for freelancers, they come with their own set of challenges. While there’s a significant increase in the availability of freelance talent (according to a recent Economist Report from Upwork, 48% of companies currently hiring are working with independent contractors), many publications have noted that freelance platforms haven’t caught up with current trends. They still operate on a “hub-and-spokes” model, where individuals work separately with no established rapport or support system to ensure they deliver their best work.

But here’s the thing— here at Ragnarok, we believe there’s a better way.
