Marketing Organization and Agency Management
Structure and organization represent some of the most important decisions senior marketers can make when looking to optimize the overall marketing function.
The ANA has partnered with industry leaders in ongoing research to define the future of organizing for an optimal business performance that improves budget priorities, roles and responsibilities, agencies, and both in-house and external support functions.
The Challenge
Creating a marketing structure to deliver a constant level of quality while leveraging internal brand ambassadors and allowing for an adaptive agency management program can be tricky and foster inefficient trial-and-error processes to strike the right balance.
The ANA’s Response
Our research reports, including last year's "Payment Terms: Current Practices for Marketing Services," can give you and your brands the information — and the leg up — needed to organize effectively.

Committees
Bringing marketers together to learn from each other and debate new approaches and solutions to industry hurdles.
A benefit of ANA membership, committee meetings feature a mix of member case studies, perspective from outside experts, and benchmarking/best-practice sharing that drive thought leadership on key industry issues. Each ANA committee meets three to four times per year and can be attended in person or remotely. Depending on the committee, 10 to 30 participants may attend — big enough for diversity of opinion, yet small enough for more intimate exchanges.
