About this workshop

We were lucky enough to have Jack join us as a speaker at the Indie Summit in Beijing, and his presentation "A Global View of the Marketing Communications Agency Landscape" was the highest rated of all the sessions over the two days.

This October, Jack will be joining us in London to host a workshop with a limited number of agency leaders, which will build on his previous presentation with actionable, practical steps which independent agencies can take, to learn from the consultancies and improve their own performance.

Whether or not you are facing direct competition from the consultancies invading Adland, there’s a lot you can learn from their highly evolved business and delivery model. During this interactive workshop we’ll explore key dimensions of how they compete so effectively, including how you can bring some of those same competitive skills into your agency.

Key topics

  • Knowledge management and how it leverages organizational structure and incentives to be world-class
  • Relationally-driven sales models that leverage account development and proposal strategies to create greater win rates and higher margins
  • Staffing and engagement models that drive greater client retention, and why in-house agencies are not your enemies
  • The shifts in the CMO function and how the consultancies will leverage their strengths
  • Key service extensions and potential staffing to future-proof your organisation

Participants will work in small groups so as to generate better insights around each topic.
