A Significant Step for 3MO
This development marks a significant milestone for 3MO in their mission to maximize the effectiveness of marketing, communication, and media. Solid client-agency relationships are a crucial building block for this purpose. "The implementation of COLLAB is a game-changer for the Dutch market," stated Huib Bouma, partner at 3MO. "It enables us to elevate the collaboration between brands and agencies to a new level, with a focus on transparency, strategic alignment, and mutual growth."
Success in Belgium as a Springboard
The decision to roll out COLLAB in the Netherlands follows an impressive track record in Belgium, where around 200 COLLAB studies have been conducted and relationships have been strengthened. This solid foundation lays the groundwork for success in the Dutch market and provides a blueprint for future international expansion.
"This is a first, yet decisive step onto the international stage for PitchPoint. The deployment of COLLAB in the Netherlands will set a standard for how brands and communication agencies work together and grow together," says Chris Van Roey, partner at PitchPoint.
COLLAB: Insights and Improvement
Traditional evaluation methods can often be time-consuming and subjective, and not always aligned with the unique dynamics of a client-agency relationship. COLLAB distinguishes itself by employing a systematic approach with a set of 30 essential questions, divided across three key categories: Expertise, Process, and Attitude. This allows for a sharp analysis focused on actual improvement points and is complementary to regular and transparent feedback. Moreover, the COLLAB evaluation methodology is explicitly mutual, making differences in the perceived quality of the collaboration between the agency and client clearly visible and addressable.
The ultimate goal of COLLAB is to create long-lasting relationships that drive brand and business growth. By focusing on clear communication, constructive feedback, and shared objectives, COLLAB builds the foundations for successful collaborations that can withstand the test of time.
