BIMA Client Service Round Table | Differentiate or Die

Differentiate or Die; how do you tell your client your new future?

Under discussion

What was your agency like 10 years ago? What did you do? What did your clients value? How did you get in the room? Where did you make your revenue? Why did clients choose you over the competition?

What has been the biggest change? Was it by design or by demand?

If you have worked in the agency world for the last 15 years or more, you will have experienced massive change – whether you started in digital or not. We have all participated in Google evolving from a Noun to a Verb and it has affected us in many ways.

DAC began life in North America 45 years ago selling offline directory listings. 21 years ago, our CEO had a vision to pivot out of that space and into digital in a way that makes DAC both compelling in its modern approach and unique amongst other agencies.

Clients are always challenging their agencies to deliver ‘the next big thing’. But as an agency, how do we keep clients on board with our internal changes / pivots so that we stay at the forefront of our industries? What near misses and what lessons (good or bad) learnt from small evolutions of agency business through to major pivots.
