I'd like to add another issue that constipates Clients - the idea that competition could be paying Agency more and so the best of resources will be deligated to the competition and not us!! Well... the idea is clear and professionally driven... Agency sets resources basis Client's brand ambitions. The "fatness" of the team depends on Client's willingness to spend on Agency's services to achieve these ambitions. If a Client is tight pocketed then you better be contended with a smaller team. I do not agree with Clients who feel having a smaller team compared to the competition would mean less services or compromised quality. No Agency will ever compromises on the quality untill the brand manager only takes up the burden of art directors and ruin the creative.

If clients can have a panel of agencies, it's time agencies had a right of choice too. Frankly, it's time agencies started thinking more (or at least as much) about themselves, as they do thinking about the welfare of their clients. it's a business after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35900123.post-1161772238037569142006-10-25T16:00:00.000+05:302006-10-25T16:00:00.000+05:30hi suman, i quite like the idea of the agency cont...hi suman, i quite like the idea of the agency contract on the lines of a model contract! I feel this whole 'no competition/ silo space' is because of historical and heritage reasons. Don't think anybody( the client or us) has given it a fresh thought! Nice post...cheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
