🚀 The Real Question Nobody’s Asking


You’ve got goals. Maybe it's more leads. Maybe it’s ROAS that finally makes sense.
Either way — the big decision staring you down is this:

“Should I hire someone in-house to run my ads... or bring in an agency?”


Let’s break down what no one else will: the real cost, the real speed, and the real risk behind both options. No fluff. Just facts.

👩‍💻 The Case for Hiring In-House

Bringing someone into your team can be great — especially if you’ve got the time, budget, and marketing DNA to support them.

✅ Pros:

  • 🟨 Full-time attention on your brand
  • 🟨 Easier team integration and collaboration
  • 🟨 Long-term vision alignment (if they stay)

❌ Cons:

  • 🟥 Median salary: $800–$1,200/month (Ethiopia) or $3,000+ abroad
  • 🟥 Add another $300–$700/month in tools, training, and design support
  • 🟥 Ramp-up time: 1–3 months (at best)
  • 🟥 Risk of churn, burnout, or skill mismatch
A solo marketer overwhelmed with tasks, juggling ads, content, and KPIs.

Hiring in-house is a bet. Sometimes it pays off. Sometimes… it doesn’t.

🧠 The Case for Outsourcing to an Agency

An agency like Aligoo isn’t just one hire — it’s a team. Strategy, creatives, copy, media buying, reporting — all baked in from day one.

✅ Pros:

  • 🟨 No hiring headaches, no ramp-up time
  • 🟨 Faster implementation, better systems
  • 🟨 Plug-and-play expertise across channels
  • 🟨 Full creative + strategic firepower for less than one salary

❌ Cons:

  • ✅ Requires trust (but hey, our case studies speak loud 😉)
  • ✅ You don’t “own” the talent (but you do own the results)

We’re not your “part-time marketer.”
We’re your on-demand growth partner with skin in the game.
