Watch: agency leaders debate whether to collaborate or go it alone
Tune in here to the latest episode of The Drum Network's Agency Leader Debates. This week: should agencies be self-sufficient, or is collaboration a secret superpower?
In the complicated, multi-channel world of 2023, many agencies are finding it prudent to play nice with their peers: working together on pitches, sharing expertise, and pioneering new kinds of collaborative relationship.
But does this kind of collaboration only open up opportunities – or does it come with costs to those agencies? That’s what four leading marketers came together to discuss in the latest Agency Leaders Debate, brought to you by The Drum Network.
This week, we were joined by Luke Hodson, founder of youth culture specialists Nerds Collective; Tony Riley, president and chief exec of US B2B shop The Mx Group; Tina Judic, chair and co-founder at UK indie family Tomorrow Group; and Wendy Dixon, M&C Saatchi’s chief growth officer.
