The Agency has clearly communicated how it is going to get there
Please enter any further opinions you may have about Chosen's strategy and direction: • We set out a clear path at the re-launch and made some progress. The strategy is right but we are not executing it successfully. • We need to try and get work outside of our usual sectors. Focus on new business and show how creative we can ALL be. • We do not seem to believe that values we sell to our client hold true to us. • Chosen feels a bit directionless recently. • The work we carry out does not always live up to what the agency wants to be, the work is pushed back by projects that aren't really activation or creative.
Please enter any further opinions you may have about Chosen's strategy and direction: • The plans are and feedback on how we are doing could be done in a more open manner. • I don't feel the board are genuinely open to feedback and I hope this surveys results are taken on board. • I feel in the dark about new business plans. • More commitment to being a 'big brand' agency. • Less inclination to take anything we can get. • Be firmer with clients.
MATERIALS Materials - How do you feel about the resources you have access to?
The agency is constantly striving to improve the way we work
The agency makes best use of my skills, talents and experience
Please enter any further opinions you may have about the materials you are given in order to do your job: • We are told we take too long to do our work, but our computers are slow and need upgrading. • We do not know what the best solution or equipment is. We struggle to find the right resource in terms of people. It can take too long to make the decisions to improve. • Investment in equipment/technology has been needed for some time. • Software should be kept current - issues with compatibility. • Understand there isn't a huge pot of money but feel there is constant resistance to improve anything if it costs money and we are always trying to do things on the cheap. • The studio and downstairs areas are quite nice but the rest of the place is very uninspiring.
