As the marketing environment becomes more complex, the division between different types of agencies have become more pronounced. In order to maintain adaptability,brands are also using a more varied selection of agencies to achieve their marketing objectives. How should brands select their agencies?What are the standards?International 4A: International 4A agencies have successfully secured the majority of global clients with their outstanding creative DNA, and especially for brands looking to expand globally, international 4A agencies are the ideal choice to help them maintain continuity in brand messaging.
Local agencies:China’s internet has its own characteristics and marketing nuances, while a lot of approaches used in the west are not applicable in this market. Therefore local agencies are more able to accommodate local thinking, and more suited to local consumers.
New Type Agencies:New forms of agency have value in that they understand changing media and consumers. More importantly, they are quick to adapt – this is the key word. |
