Agency Selection & Oversight

Choose the right agency partner  with a process that removes risk, guesswork, and wasted spend.

​

Agency partnerships can accelerate growth, or quietly drain time, budget, and leadership attention.

​

Many businesses select agencies based on reputation, referrals, or pitch theatre. Few run a structured, commercially grounded selection process. The result is often misalignment: unclear briefs, mismatched expectations, and performance that never quite lands.

​

Navigating the agency selection process is hard if you've never done it before.

​

I lead the end-to-end agency selection process to ensure you appoint partners who understand your goals, fit your culture, and can deliver measurable results.

​​

What's included?

 

  • A clear, strategic brief aligned to commercial objectives

​

  • Identification and shortlisting of relevant, qualified agencies

​

  • Verification of experience, sector fit, and client credibility

​

  • Portfolio and case study review through a buyer-outcome lens

​

  • Management of RFI, RFP, pitch, and interview stages

​

  • Objective evaluation and scoring frameworks

​

  • Final selection guidance and onboarding support

​

  • Ongoing oversight to ensure performance stays on track

​​

The Outcome

​​

  • A partner selected for fit, capability, and accountability

​

  • A brief that agencies can genuinely execute against

​

  • Clear expectations on performance, scope, and success metrics

​

  • Reduced risk, faster time-to-value, and better ROI
