The agency RFP process
is broken

Unfortunately, many Agency RFPs go into market without clearly defined business goals, scope and service requirements, budget parameters or key internal stakeholder alignment. This lack of insight into what is actually being solved for, has made it impossible for both brands and agencies to assess if the partnership is fundamentally the right fit. 

As marketers, you know that when core fundamental alignment is not achieved, you’re in for a rough ride. The wrong agency/client relationships are forged; causing the inability for your marketing team to show the impact of your efforts, while your business growth goals slip further out of reach (not to mention the many headaches and money wasted). 

And, the constantly changing agency landscape, lack of transparent agency pricing and ever evolving complexities of global B2B brand’s needs have only compounded these challenges further.
