AAR Breakfast Seminar: Is your agency proposition fit for purpose?

OVERVIEW

As marketing departments emerge from their own transformation projects in a bid to move to a more customer centric approach they are now starting to examine their agency ecosystems and operating models to determine whether they are fit for purpose.

Our research has found that there is a broad diversity in how clients are choosing to structure their agency ecosystems driven by a significant number of key factors that are shaping their thinking.

This is both a threat and an opportunity for agencies. If agencies fail to align themselves with these emerging needs, they will struggle to stay relevant and find themselves on the periphery of some of the most significant and exciting changes going on in marketing today.

Come and join us on 12th November as we share the latest insights on the evolving client agency models and guidance on how to create a strong, distinctive agency proposition that’s fit for this new era.
