Tips for Client/Agency Relationship

0 comments

Focus on:

  • effective expectations management
  • partnership
  • shared values
  • understanding

Try fair and effective!

In business relationships honesty plays a vital role - smart people notice double-standards & mixed emotions.

Flexibility - embrace change and let go. The outcomes of change are positive in the long-run, so apply your strategic judgement to the current situation, find the best solution that works now.

"The only constant is change" (Isaac Asimov) - evolve strategies as circumstances change.

Creativity - some ideas may move us away from our comfort zone but usually those are the ideas that work.

Work as a team - keep each other informed, share a sense of common mission. Neither the client, nor the agency should openly claim total expertise in the area of the other.

Appreciate the other side’s strengths and weaknesses & benefit from them - don't make performance evaluations when targets are at stake.

Creativity? Is there a definition or a simple description for it? Are there any frames...

Words like "innovation", "creativity", "out of the box" thinking have become business terms. But when it comes to business - definitions, analyses, borders, sales numbers matter the most. Although widely-used, the word "creativity" is more like a phrase with varying connotations depending on the situation, the timing, the industry. Video below is impressive because it presents an idea, far from straightforward... reminds us that creativity can be anywhere... but few people can notice it.
