MEASURING AGENCY SERVICES
IN TIMES OF DISRUPTIVE CHANGE

Every business is facing disruptive change - even more so in the choppier financial waters of today. What’s more, the way consumers experience marketing and advertising is changing constantly. All this means procurement leads and CMOs are being challenged by conflicting business priorities when they scope and evaluate agency services; from the drive for short-term cost efficiencies to the requirement for innovative, sustainable growth strategies. So, how do marketing agencies help deliver the transformation required for brands using new success metrics, while still managing the crucial value exchange that we all need to balance the books? 

At Havas, we operate in more than 70 markets, servicing brands in every category. We’ve carried out extensive research with a cross section of our procurement specialist clients for ProcureCon 2022, to understand how agency value metrics need to change to help deliver marketing transformation. We’ve identified three crucial value drivers that will help deliver that change; Talent, ESG and Data & Technology.
