Inspiring The Best Agencies to Compete

Developing a custom project design that inspires top agencies to collaborate with the brand is our foremost priority to ensure the success of our client's media tender. From the outset, we engage agencies' C-level executives to ensure the tender invitation fosters mutual growth for both the advertiser and the agencies. A comprehensive pitch brief not only showcases our dedication to professional pitch management but also sparks competitive drive among agencies.

Through our 4-stage pitch process involving workshops, digital live-tests, strategy cases, talent, and commercial assessments, we create a competitive yet objective environment to identify the right partner measurably. These proven methods have successfully helped brands like Lidl, Nikon, tado°, and others find the best agency partners, resulting in sustained growth from their media investments.

What is the optimal agency model?

As marketing departments continually evolve and more companies bring operations in-house, brands are actively pursuing transformations in their operating structures. This shift aims to achieve increased flexibility, independence, and financial efficiency.

Advise Media Consulting simplifies media complexities for internal stakeholders, empowering confident operational changes. Our proven framework assesses performance across 10+ media operation categories, comparing results to industry best practices. Client teams analyze outcomes to identify strengths, gaps, and optimization opportunities.

Our clients gain clarity and confidence in their brand's media operations, fostering ongoing business growth.

Within the context of a tender, opportunities for quick wins and transformative strategies emerge. While quick wins can be readily included, the holistic transformation of operational models necessitates a distinct preparatory approach ahead of the media tender.
