Research showing marketer's preferences on the best approach for selecting a marketing agency for digital marketing capabilities.






Research summary of of US Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) views:

  • 52% believe that traditional, large advertising agencies are ill-suited to meet online marketing needs
  • 49% of survey respondents believe that traditional advertising firms have difficulty thinking beyond traditional print and TV media models, which no longer are effective ways of engaging consumers who now get their information and influence one another primarily through digital channels.
  • Fewer than 10% seek to partner with large advertising agencies for their online marketing.  Instead, the majority of senior marketing executives show a strong preference for blended firms - firms with roots in technology that can also offer creative and traditional print expertise. 
  • 68% prefer to work with multiple agencies, in order to derive the benefits of specialization.
