AGENCY ECOSYSTEMS
Increase the impact of your marketing budget
WHAT IS IT
PitchPoint helps advertisers to consolidate or adapt their agency ecosystem in order to create higher relevance and greater impact of the marketing budget.
The rising complexity of the communication landscape, has driven most advertisers to work with a mix of agencies.
The question is not “How many agencies do I need?”, even though our mantra is “As little as possible, as much as needed”…
The real questions to ask are:
-
Are the agencies in your roster still relevant to your changing needs?
-
Is the mix increasing the impact of your marketing budget or do you find yourself with duplications of costs, manhours and a general fragmentation of your budget?
-
Are the agencies competencies complimentary or are they fighting for a bigger piece of your budget?
-
Is your team managing the roster or are they running from one alignment meeting to another to ensure brand and message coherency?
