Enterprise Curricula

Introducing an in-depth series of enterprise-level curricula addressing our industry's most pressing issues.

Curriculum 1: Client-Agency Optimization

Client-Agency Optimization is a comprehensive program designed to better align clients with their agencies to drive the client's business.

For many clients, agency management processes have not been clearly outlined, are outdated, or are nonexistent. And they often have not been fully standardized and socialized across the client organization — causing stress, burnout, and financial impacts across the org.

In fact, nearly 60 percent of ANA marketing executives say up to 30 percent of their total budget is lost to these inefficiencies.

That is why we developed the Client-Agency Optimization program. The curriculum involves three pillars — Core, Alignment, and Relationship — that, when enacted, allow the client to provide their agencies with the best possible guidance that drives winning results.

Equip your organization and creative partners with a comprehensive toolkit to address even the toughest client-agency challenges, enabling you to avoid costly reviews and employee burnout.
