CREATIVE & ACTIVATION AGENCIES

Managing Directors, Planners, Client Service Directors, Creative teams, Account Management… As many agencies are aware, your clients are being increasingly tasked with leading the commercial agenda of the organisation. The deliverables within their marketing team have broadened and they now often have to take on wider responsibilities not just brand communications.

This means they look to their agencies to become a true extension of their team to support them and we want to help your agency team to have the right skills to meet your client’s changing needs.

We’re a team of ex-client-side marketers who’ve been there and we get the challenges that your clients are facing. We support agencies through pitch & RFP responses (with client viewpoint), planning and strategy resource, plus training, mentoring and up skilling your team.
