Are all consultants the same?
Agency search
More than any other reason, "chemistry" is by far the most important contributor to a successful relationship. Our selection process is designed to match agencies with clients based on our knowledge-based methodology.
Compensation
Our process is collaborative, striking a balance between the client's needs to keep cost down and the agency's right to a fair profit. The process involves agreement to SOW and using a proprietary benchmark data points to guide clients on a fair compensation.
Procurement
We believe that marketing procurement is one of the most essential activities of the company, as marketing is the biggest investment for many companies. Our approach helps shift the emphasis from "cost" to "value", from price-driven orientation to process-driven, striving for efficiencies and innovations that result in shared benefits.
