With proper setup, an in-house team can achieve the best long-term balance between results and costs, as well as ensure close alignment between marketing, sales, and product. However, having an internal department is always a long-term game. It requires not only belief in the results but also significant resources. The entry threshold here is the highest of all formats: salaries for multiple specialists, HR processes, onboarding, training, and management.
