How to design, develop & implement a strategy to leverage opportunities with export clients

Leveraging opportunities within international markets requires a change in thinking and a change in execution. But changing our agency without a plan is gambling, and planning for too long can mean that we miss key opportunities. During this webinar we’ll discover a simple and effective tool to define and implement a strategy to help your agency capitalise on key opportunities within international markets.

Becoming an export ‘Trusted Advisor’: how to walk the walk & talk the talk

As digital campaign activation and management becomes more and more commoditised, advertisers are looking to agencies to help on a more strategic level; to help define, execute and iterate their own international expansion strategies. During this webinar we’ll explore how to nurture relationships a little further ‘up the food chain’ and how to develop and capitalise on higher value relationships.

The organizational challenges in implementing the international growth offering in agencies

International expansion requires strategic thinking. Strategic thinking requires experienced employees managing high risk initiatives, solving complex problems, communicating with C-Level clients. Organising, managing and leading a specialist international expansion strategy team in place of, or alongside your current delivery team can introduce communication and operational challenges. Here we’ll explore how to structure a team best suited to international clients and how to optimise your operations to deliver high margins and retain clients.

How to win more export clients

Clients who require international expansion have a very specific challenge to solve. They require specialist thinking, backed by credible, experienced consultants. Yet the Digital Agency marketplace is saturated by generalist agencies offering similar services, at similar prices, with similar employees offering similar solutions. Here we’ll look at how we can stand-out from the crowd and become the partner of choice for our clients.
