Top 10 tips for fostering collaboration

With many projects requiring multiple channels of communication, marketers are managing many specialist agencies.

Most of the tips below are simply good project management skills, which are often forgotten in marketing and advertising because it is often incorrectly assumed that the agencies will organise this.

IAA Thought Leadership event to feature Darren Woolley, founder TrinityP3

The IAA invites you to Breakfast with Darren Woolley
Tuesday November 22nd
7.30 - 9.15am
Dockside Convention Centre, Sydney

The International Advertising Association (IAA) Australia Chapter will address the topic of agency remuneration and compensation in Sydney on November 22.  The breakfast event, the latest in the IAA’s Thought Leadership series, will feature Darren Woolley of TrinityP3

Darren Woolley will highlight current pressures on marketing expenditure and discuss the critical importance of value creation for all stakeholders within the local marketing communication industry.  He will argue that new agency remuneration and compensation models are required in the context of changing commercial and strategic dynamics within media and marketing industries.

Darren will share his know-how and experience on -
1. Marketing budgets under pressure with marketers trying to do more with less
2. Procurement measured on cost reduction and driving down costs
3. Agencies responding to pressure with lower fees impacting staff retention and quality

Who is to blame? How can we fix this? Or can it be fixed?
