Workstream Brief If we started an agency from scratch today….
1. Consider what clients want Agencies of the future need to understand how businesses are changing and new demands on marketing/PR
2. Identify services in demand Agencies of the future need to be able to offer more services but must not chase the next ‘big’ thing
3. Investigate new structures Agencies of the future need to develop structures that allow strategic specialists to thrive
4. Invest in people Agencies of the future need to invest in skilled practitioners
5. Understand the new value exchange Agencies of the future need to add value in areas that set them apart from other disciplines and in-house hires
