Every week, agencies are bombarded with pitches from events and festivals, filled with details about how their property is bigger, better and different from every other one out there.
These impersonal pitches come in byemail, by phone, by snail mail and through websites. Agency account managers get tired of hearing the same old thing. As event professionals, we want to ensure that our information is communicated concisely and clearly – focused on what agencies want to see in proposals so that they can pitch it to their client (the potential sponsor!)
This panel of experts will discuss the best way to work with these agencies and to relate with them in a way that keeps the conversation focused on “the agency” and the needs of their clients, not you or your event. Trust us, if you do it right, you’ll make their day…and they will make yours!
