Reimaging Agency Selection: Why is now a good time to go to pitch?

In this era of transformation and adaptation, rethinking your approach to agency selection isn’t merely a strategic choice — it’s an imperative.

The current media landscape is marked by unprecedented fragmentation and complexity, especially when it comes to targeting through digital channels and platforms. And advertisers are confronted with the task of navigating this ever-evolving media and marketing ecosystem.

Recent years have laid bare the vulnerabilities in the traditional media agency selection process. It has grown excessively time-consuming, resource-draining, and labyrinthine.

Our Latest Viewpoint Paper “Reimagining Media Agency Selection” delves deep into the reasons behind this decline and presents a comprehensive roadmap to reinvigorate and fortify the process for the long term.

In the dynamic and uncertain landscape of the early 2020s, brands are facing ongoing challenges. Their ability to achieve business objectives hinges significantly on the crucial task of identifying the right media agency partners—essentially, a vital avenue to maximize returns on marketing investment. 

To breathe new life into this process, brands and agencies must shift their focus away from mere cost-cutting and instead emphasize value generation. An effective agency selection process aligned with business objectives is typically characterized by a digital-first approach, human touchpoints, and a culture of collaboration. When brands and agency partners work together, they can streamline and simplify the selection process.

In conclusion, by embracing a fresh perspective centered on value creation and collaboration, brands, and agencies can reinvigorate their relationships and rise to new heights of success in today’s dynamic marketing landscape.

If you’re ready to reimagine your agency selection process, our Viewpoint paper stands as your roadmap.
