WIN:WIN Workshop – Sustainable Business Models that Deliver Commercial & Strategic Partnerships for Agencies and Brands

The greatest challenge facing both Agencies and Brands is not only identifying but also implementing new Business Models that are sustainable and provide a Win:Win on both sides.

The old Agency pricing model and operating system has been drained of value and has mostly now been commodotised by its own clients. The buyers have been setting the sellers prices. In no other industry would this be allowed to happen. There has been no ‘winners’ on either side as Brands now look to find more ways to cut more costs, put more pressure on agency margins, by-pass agencies  completely or bring whole specialisms in-house. Both sides are caught up in a Dance till Death and require a seismic shift in thinking, creativity and innovation around Business Models that put both sides back into Partnership with true commercial and strategic alignment.
