Description

Is it time to bring more agency work in-house?

What are Canadian advertisers doing with in-house agencies? Some do their own search and social media, others have major initiatives that include data management platforms and then there are those focusing on a close full-service agency relationship.

Which direction are they moving in? Are they expanding in-house capabilities or selectively pushing tasks back to the agency? What about advertisers that are just starting to evaluate in-housing? What’s to be learned from the first movers? Is anybody saving money with this approach?

Join us for an informative morning where marketers will share their in-housing experiences and challenges on May 29th in Vancouver!

Agenda to feature:

  • Presentation of ACA in-house survey results
  • Keynote Presentation featuring Rob Daintree, Director, Marketing Communications at WestJet
  • Panel Discussion: The trend towards in-house agencies
