About
our client

SITUATION

The client had several concerns and sought clear answers to enhance their relationship with media agencies and secure the best market proposals in terms of strategy and digital buying.

First, Media Auditors conducted a thorough analysis of the contract between the client and their agency, identifying all commitments.

  • Media Structure: It was determined that dividing offline and online media among different agencies was not optimal. The investment was concentrated in a single 360-degree integrated agency.
  • Agency Selection: Two agencies emerged as winners due to a minimal difference between them.
  • Strategic Evaluation: One of the agencies stood out strategically according to the client’s qualitative assessment.
  • Innovative Contract: Application of new trends in the contract, rethinking the team structure and compensation model.
  • Follow-Up Plan: Implementation of a plan to monitor objective fulfillment and account management.

We encountered a client who had just completed a pitch and was beginning to work with a new agency. There was significant uncertainty, and the client had high expectations for the new team and all the commitments made during the pitch.

Challenge and Objectives

  • Transparency: Establish a transparent relationship with the media agency.
  • Strategy: Secure the best strategic proposal aligned with the client’s marketing and media goals.
  • Digital Partner: Identify the best digital partner for strategy and buying.
