Agencies – in all their forms and types – can be a very protective bunch.
Sometimes their territorial and ‘creative protectionist’ instincts can cause interesting dynamics for client relationships.
Often with overlapping capabilities, and with an eye on wallet-share, encouraging agencies to work together can sometimes feel like trying mix oil and water. But it’s time to grow up guys!

The challenges represented by ‘Agency slapfest’ relate to:

- Account directors and managers agency-side that are encouraged to collaborate with fellow roster agencies
- External agencies that are encouraged to work with ‘internal agencies’ whose mandate is to reduced external efforts and budget spend
