At PitchPoint, we firmly believe that successful marketing campaigns are built on strong collaboration between advertisers and agencies. That’s why we launched the COLLAB system a few years ago, an evaluation method where both parties provide feedback to enhance their partnership. To date, we have conducted 1,431 interviews and thoroughly analyzed 246 relationships. From these efforts, we have identified key trends across 1,837 pages of reports.
The first question we ask is: What are the top priorities for advertisers when working with agencies?

Our COLLAB studies reveal that advertisers prioritize achieving consistent, high-quality results that align with their business objectives. This encompasses several factors that contribute to a successful partnership:
1. Strategic Insights and Expertise: Advertisers expect agencies to have a deep understanding of their brand and market, providing strategic, data-driven recommendations that support their business goals.
2. Creative Excellence: Innovative and effective creative concepts are crucial. Advertisers want agencies to not only meet but exceed their expectations by delivering impactful creative solutions.
3. Efficient Communication and Project Management: Clear communication, transparency on progress, and adherence to deadlines are critical to ensure campaigns run smoothly and within budget.
4. Flexibility and Adaptability: Advertisers value agencies that can swiftly adapt to changes in strategies, budgets, or market conditions without compromising quality.
In short, advertisers are looking for a reliable partner that thinks strategically, offers creative value, and can operate efficiently and flexibly in a fast-changing market.
At PitchPoint, we’re passionate about helping brands and agencies optimize their collaboration so they can unlock their full potential together. Curious how we can improve your partnership? Get in touch with us at mia@pitchpoint.be.
