About the workshop
This workshop, which is delivered across two sessions on Zoom, was developed to enable anyone who works with a creative agency to increase productivity, ensure their fees are spent wisely and ultimately produce more effective material.
The workshop is divided into two broad areas. Firstly, it covers the benefits of true partnership and what makes a strong one. And secondly it offers very practical advice on how to work with an agency throughout all the key stages of campaign development.
