All MarCom firms know the media world is undergoing major change . . . social media, mobile platforms, etc. . . but aren't sure how to move their traditional firm into the "new space."

Most see that 90% of the marketing budget is still spent on traditional communications, so they don't see the urgency to change and aren't aware how close we are to the end of the 50-year reign of the 30-second TV spot and the beginning of total on-demand entertainment that will change everything.

And they are unaware how frustrated clients are that their traditional agency has to rely on specialists to even discuss the digital world; and frustrated with the digital specialists who don't get marketing.

Change is about to become a matter of survival.

And the best driver of change is new business simply because it's easier to be the "new agency" to a new client vs. changing the perception of a current one.

But, when it comes to new business . . .

Most agencies have no outbound marketing communications. Or, if they do, it generally consists of occasionally sending out expensive self-promotion materials that they believe prospects will actually read.

Most have web sites designed for an internal audience vs. prospects, and don't see a need for an SEO strategy.

And, in a review, most apply all their energies to coming up with great ideas to present . . . because they believe the client will pick select the agency with the best idea.

In short, most agencies keep "doing" new business the same ways they have done in the past . . . but hoping the results will improve.

Robb High's Agency Reinvention/New Business Boot Camp is designed to at once give you a complete and new approach to winning new clients and a strategy for evolving your firm to compete more effectively in the future.

Each seminar includes an intensive full-day learning experience - plus 45-days of unlimited individual follow-up consulting

Atlanta / Tuesday / May 22 / Crown Plaza Airport Hotel

The Workshops aren't about theory. They provide practical strategies and very specific programs that you can implement immediately.
