Agency Relationship Optimisation

corner-right

We run ‘Get Fit’ programmes that’ll intervene when agency relationships or performance has faltered, to achieve rapidly improved performance.

At Flock we believe lasting agency relationships can build great value for an advertiser, but sometimes, a great advertiser-agency relationship breaks down, or the work that the agency delivers isn’t what both sides had hoped for.

We fix relationships and fix ways of working to deliver an enhanced agency performance.

Fixing agency relationships is more effective and more efficient than changing agencies. We think it’s better to 'repair and reboot' than 'replace'.

Because our consultants have led world-class agencies of all types and managed agencies at the world’s leading advertisers, we know how to fix both sides of the relationship. Our independence ensures integrity, objectivity and clarity.
