If your list is not short and focused there is a lot of work that should be done. If you think that you can’t make a shortlist, you can ask your marketing consultants for their advice.
Secret #4 Knowledge is Better Than RFP
Some businesses depend on RFP ( Request For Proposal) to know why advertising agencies are interested in working with them. Although that RFP is highly recommended to know more about the advertising company you are collaborating with, it is better to collect knowledge than collecting RFP.
You can collect data to know more about the advertising company, what they are passionate about, what are the ups and downs they faced along with their careers, how they learned from their failures.
Even though RFP is important and it says a lot about the advertising company and how they see things, it is not only the best option, collecting data is.
Secret #5 Location Is Not A Problem
Don’t strict your research when it comes to choosing advertising agencies. Location is no longer a problem you can communicate perfectly even if your advertising agency is a world apart, technology has done a great job in that problem specifically, zoom calls, Fedx, and more can make distances vanish.
Secret #6 Brand Name Is Not The Only Perspective
One of the mistakes a lot of businesses fall into is choosing an advertising agency based only on its brand name. The Agency brand name is important but it is not the only perspective that you should look for into. The core values f the agency is more important, the people who are working in that agency. In the long run, people’s dedication and passion are what is going to make your business successful.
Secret #7 Hire A Future, Not A History
Don’t just hire an agency based on its history, know its future and its vision. It is important to know how they see themselves in the future, how they think about the market now and in the near future, hire an adverting agency that has the right perspective.
Setting expectations with the future adverting company can be a double-edged weapon, as your relationship with the advertising agency can fail if your expectations are not satisfied, but it also can be beneficial if you know what to expect exactly from this collaboration.
