Presentation: A Programmatic Approach to Managing Agency Relationships
Speakers: Stacy Jensen, Sr. Manager, Agency Alliance Management, NovoNordisk and Richard Benyon, CEO, Decideware
Client-side agency management /marketing procurement professionals have two key processes that they can use to improve agency performance and in turn, marketing ROI. Stacy and Richard discussed how the two in combination, provide a highly effective continuous improvement loop:
Allows clients to create pragmatic annual (or project) work plans. It ensures they have the appropriate agency resource mix and seniority on each deliverable, budget effectively, and track spend accurately during the year to get the best value from their investment. See more about Scope of Work programs here.
Allows clients and agencies to collect feedback from a wide range of stakeholders, to ensure more in-depth conversations around their relationship, and build action plans to deliver "course corrections" where needed. See more about Agency Evaluation here.
