Defining the term Purpose
The term purpose is simply defined as the reason why something is done or why a certain thing exists. To delve deeper into the purpose of an agency is it’s motive, it’s ambition, it’s driving force. The purpose of an agency should answer the question ‘why?’
- Why is this being done?
- Why did we establish this agency?
- Why do we need to do this now?
- Why do we need to make that change?
- Why is it necessary for xyz?
Why should my agency have a purpose
Having a purpose will give my organisation an end game. Now giving a purpose is not always just about how much money we can rake over the course of months, years etc. but should also include our target customers or clientele we want your agency to be associated with. The purpose of this agency provides our team with the general outlook of what the differences and impact that our agency can make. We want to ensure that everyone on the team is on the same journey and ensure that we are giving our team the chance to soar and grow individually. By doing this, we can improve our work and services, form a properly functioning team relationship.
Rediscovering our purpose
Now sometimes we have well laid out plans, but with the changing economy and differentiation in clients needs and wants, it is inevitable that our agency reinvent itself. This is not a bad thing. It helps us remain modern and client friendly.
Keeping our passion as a team
Even with rediscovering our purpose, we need to ensure that we remain focused on the same goal as a team. This will not only bring us together once more, but this new redirection may attract other individuals who would like to join our new agenda. As a team, everyone is able to relate their own thoughts and share what they are passionate about. Now a purpose allows us to easily understand who is a perfect fit for what assignment etc.
Finding our Purpose
As an agency, we will reestablish ourselves by constructing and deconstructing our mission, our image, and our place on the market. We want to show outsiders that we can adapt easily to the ever changing trends of society.
We will begin by using our passion to venture out into the unknown until we gain new insights and experiences. We have to ask ourselves the tough questions like:
- Why do we want to continue to exist?
- Would we be missed if we were to stop?
- What impact are we making?
Once we have found out and perfected what indeed our purpose is, then all that is left is to enforce commitment and drive to ensure that all our plans are executed properly. I believe that sometimes an agency does have to rediscover its purpose because it’s an exercise in determination to ensure that we are up to date with the latest social media and digital trends and that we are not becoming stagnant as a company.
