In an increasingly competitive digital marketing environment, the benefits of dynamic working cultures are there for all to see. With a culture that is flexible and adapts to change, digital marketers can more easily respond to competitive changes in the market. In an agile environment, these benefits are maximised through a shared vision of how the business functions, and a culture of continual learning.

Agile teams not only offer a cost saving benefit, but they also make it easier for firms to compete on a larger scale with traditional and non-agile companies in the industry.
Sharing the vision
These are just some of the benefits of a dynamic working environment. Agile teams provide a high level of creative freedom for digital marketing professionals. The ability to quickly develop solutions to specific problems allows for greater efficiency. The sharing of a common vision for how the company functions and works together results in a better business culture and a stronger business team. Especially with marketing teams who know how to get the best for their sales team counter-parts, if both departments work in unison, the business has a greater opportunity to flourish.
However, with the growth in the digital marketing field, many dynamic leaders are concerned that there is an influx of new agile leaders who are now attempting to take control of the digital marketing departments. This has resulted in many companies experiencing a “split” of the dynamic working culture. Although these new leaders may provide valuable assistance to traditional managers, the culture of these new leaders is often very different from the agile culture. This can create some issues between traditional managers and digital marketers, and the traditional team members.
The key to any successful collaboration is for new leaders to bring a new and fresh perspective to the organisation. By doing this, a new dynamic leader can help develop a more robust, flexible and collaborative culture where everyone feels comfortable.
