In this episode of The Two Marketeers, co-hosts Sean Patrick and Lindsay Waugh dive into a recent article from Ad Age that sheds light on a critical shift in the advertising industry. Agencies are increasingly pressured to sell their cookie-cutter proprietary processes over their people, talent and creative chops. Sean and Lindsay unpack the why behind this trend and its implications, discussing its impact on agency culture, creativity, and client relationships.
Sean and Lindsay offer insightful advice to agencies facing this challenge, suggesting that while having a process to sell is important, it's crucial to look at the bigger picture. They strongly (ha!) advocate for agencies to change the narrative about what best-in-class agency talent looks like. Instead of focusing solely on processes, agencies should prioritize getting the right people (as full-time or contract resources) and creative capabilities, emphasizing the collective value they bring to clients beyond a one-page process.
Join Sean and Lindsay as they explore how agencies can adapt to this changing landscape, redefine their value and how they make choices (and money!) for the future of the ad industry.
