In a fireside chat, Laila Mignoni, creative director at Bacardi will talk about how the brand works with its partners, who they're working with, what makes agencies stand out at pitch/meeting, and how they balance what is taken in-house and what is briefed out.
The 135th Street Agency's, founder, Shante Bacon is set to open the event with her keynote, The Future Looks Independent. She will explain how agency leaders need to stop looking ahead at the big shops and start to lead from the front.
R3’s US manager, Melissa Lea takes a look at the trends in agency pricing. Agencies are now more flexible than ever with their pricing models, but what is actually working (or not) in the market right now? Lea provides insight into current pricing models and highlights key trends in how agencies are not just pitching, but pricing their work and negotiating with procurement.
Agency value is driven from continuous innovation and the agility to be able to identify and address trends, new technologies and respond to client needs. The profits are a by-product that flow as part of the output of that strategy. Paul Allen, partner, SI Partners will explore the trends to demonstrate how agency acquirers are looking for these types of cultures and contemporary services.
46% of people working in agencies are stressed because they do not feel like they are good at their jobs. Just one worrying statistic in the latest agency well-being study from The Drum and Opinium research.
