Why top agencies lose business
Earlier this month, Avi Dan posted "Gone In 30-Seconds: The 5 Top Reasons Why Agencies Get Fired" on his Forbes blog
that the top 5 reasons advertising agencies get fired are:
Life’s Not Fair. Reasons beyond the agency’s control: consolidation, or a client outgrowing its agency and needing a bigger one.

Calculate your agency head hour rates
Your creative agency is proposing to charge $250 per hour for the Group Account Director or the media agency has $325 per hour for the Media Trading Director. How is this calculated? And what is the underlying salary cost?

But for those marketers, procurement and agency people that don't, we built the TrinityP3 online agency compensation calculators so you can calculate this no matter where you are in the world.
