  • Working with Multiple Agencies to Reach Common Goals
    Mar 26 2023

    In this week's episode, we discuss how we work best with a client while engaged with another agency in parallel.

    Working with clients all over the country, we often get to work alongside another agency whether it be serving a need that isn't something that we offer or because they have a personal relationship with them. We discuss the pros and cons of how best to work with another agency, even if they do the same or similar things that you do. We also discuss how this works best for the client to work with two simultaneous groups of creative people to get the job done.
