What's included

Better Briefing 

Set the stage for success. Great work starts with great input. This module equips your team with the tools and techniques to write clear, inspiring briefs that align stakeholders and set agencies up for success. 

  • How we help: We guide teams to focus on clarity, purpose, and storytelling, ensuring every brief is a launchpad for exceptional outcomes. 
  • Key skills: Clear goal setting, actionable insights, and aligning stakeholders. 
  • What it delivers: Fewer missteps, stronger collaboration, and increased right first time stats.  

Better Agency Management 

Get the most from your partnerships. Agency relationships thrive on mutual understanding and accountability. This module helps teams to navigate the complexities of modern marketing operating models considering design and onboarding, remuneration models and remit, building trust and managing issues. 

  • How we help: We teach proven approaches for navigating challenges, setting clear boundaries, and ensuring agencies deliver their best. 
  • Key skills: Conflict resolution, managing expectations, and fostering mutual accountability. 
  • What it delivers: Better communication, stronger relationships, and results that everyone can be proud of. 

Better Critique 

Turn feedback into progress. Feedback isn’t about what you say - it’s about how you say it and how it is actioned. This module helps teams deliver constructive critique that inspires creativity, improves outcomes, and keeps work aligned with objectives. 

  • How we help: We provide practical tools for structuring feedback and building confidence to critique effectively, without stifling innovation. 
  • Key skills: Structuring feedback, understanding creative processes, and aligning on objectives. 
  • What it delivers: Sharper work, faster progress, and stronger partnerships. 

Better Evaluation 

Unlock the power of meaningful measurement. Great marketing doesn’t end with delivery—it’s about proving effectiveness and learning what to do next. This module helps teams embrace evaluation as a critical step in driving better marketing outcomes considering what was delivered (performance) and ways of working (process/people). 

  • How we help: We show your team how to evaluate work against clear, meaningful objectives, build confidence in what the result and feedback reveals, and use these insights to improve the next campaign or programme of activity. 
  • Key skills: Evaluating outcomes, exploring different tools, and driving change. 
  • What it delivers: Clearer recommendations, shared accountability, and continuous improvement mindset.
