To enhance brand presence and attract new clients, Tyrads should invest in marketing outreach, events, and sponsorships. Proactive engagement with potential clients and establishing a strong brand presence will expand Tyrads’ reach in untapped markets.

Additionally, continuous investment in AI and technology advancements is paramount. By staying at the forefront of technological innovation, Tyrads can maintain a competitive edge and adapt to evolving industry trends.

Based on the analysis, the research proposes these strategies to Tyrads as recommendations. The insights and recommendations provided are intended to guide Tyrads in optimizing its digital strategies and provide valuable input to other stakeholders in the mobile growth agency industry.
