Business development services
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Doing ongoing research into less well-known places where agencies can go for help finding leads for new business pitches
Creative Brief - £300 bare minimum and £2,500 for the 2 Case Study package up to £4,500 for 10 case studies …. and when I searched on copywriters in London and South East there were none listed! [but over 30 for the UK listed and so some work needed on sub-categorisation, IMO]
Skillfair - free to clients to advertise briefs and £200 for everyone else …. I have used this twice to post projects and got great responses and placed one job with an agency that applied. A good service with excellent customer service back-up.
Agency Finder -a 'new' service. Well it's Reardon Smith Whittaker getting the license to be the European arm of an already-successful US business. Pay £295 per year and then up this to £3,000 p.a. if you accept the offer to go to a pitch… whether you win or lose. One of my clients is testing it right now. Will let you know if they turn up anything useful.
