Successful selection and management of agencies

Efficient pitches - successful briefings - transparent costs

This training is held in German.
Finding the "right" agency is a challenge. Working successfully with the right agency is often just as challenging. This training shows you how to optimize your collaboration with advertising agencies and external marketing service providers and how to make better use of your agencies' potential to achieve your marketing goals. Learn how to find suitable agencies and how they work so that you can manage, measure and optimize agency projects more successfully from briefing to implementation. You will gain insights into how agencies plan and calculate, can optimize the agency contract for you and systematically evaluate agency services.
