Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Agency of Record partnerships and our approach.

What's the difference between Agency of Record and project-based work?

With Agency of Record, we become your dedicated partner for ongoing, strategic marketing management. Rather than executing individual campaigns, we develop comprehensive annual strategies, manage quarterly planning, and maintain accountability for results. Project-based work is transactional; AoR is transformational.

Deeply involved. You'll work directly with senior strategists who understand your business inside and out. We participate in leadership meetings, attend key events, provide strategic guidance, and stay connected to your organization's goals and challenges throughout the year.

What does an Agency of Record agreement typically include?

An AoR agreement typically includes annual strategy development, quarterly planning and reviews, campaign development and execution, performance management and optimization, analytics and reporting, and ongoing strategic consulting. The specific services are customized to your needs and goals.

How do you measure success with Agency of Record?

We establish clear KPIs at the beginning of the partnership that align with your business goals—whether that's awareness, lead generation, revenue, community engagement, or mission advancement. We track these metrics consistently, report transparently, and adjust strategy based on performance data.

What level of commitment is required from our organization?

You should be prepared to invest in strategic planning, provide feedback on direction, and allocate resources to implement recommendations. This isn't a hands-off relationship—successful partnerships require active collaboration and commitment to continuous improvement.

Can we adjust our partnership over time?

Absolutely. As your business evolves, so does our partnership. We review our engagement regularly and adjust scope, focus, and services based on changing priorities, market conditions, and results.
