External Agency Partnerships

Hire me to help get better work and more effective relationships with your agency partners.

I know how brands work at their best, and specifically—how those results can be achieved for your brand.

I’ve worked in dozens of agencies across the U.S. for the past 20 years. I’ve led 15+ person creative teams four times on global, regional and local campaigns. I’m deeply fluent in all facets of marketing, production, and budgeting.

Understanding how advertising, design, digital, social, performance and PR agencies function—what motivates their best efforts on your behalf—remains hugely relevant for any marketer today. (Pro tip: It’s very, very rarely about the money.)

If you want your agency to deliver…

• Greater candor and transparency

• Potent strategies that change behavior

• Creativity that surprises and delights (in a positive way)

• Brilliant production that doesn’t surprise

…I can help.

I’ve also worked inside client marketing orgs in agriculture, manufacturing, automotive, retail, and technology—establishing and nurturing in-house agency teams, running B2C and B2B marketing programs and oftentimes serving as the “agency whisperer.” I’m a trusted advisor to C-Suite and executive leaders when it comes to marketing and branding.

Let’s improve your ability to nurture a stronger client-agency relationship driving greater value from your investment.

Of course, maybe you’ve hit a clear dead end? I’ve also written and administered agency RFPs for full-service advertising, digital performance, design, and project scopes. I know how to collaborate efficiently with your Sourcing and Legal teams.

Together, we can improve your client-agency relationship.
