Are you ready to win or lose 
your agency’s next pitch? 
Why pitch? A win can transform an agency, 
re-energize it, get it noticed, and a win shows you 
off to prospective clients and search consultants. 
But it all starts by winning. 
Here we present some reasons to call the world’s 
leaders in helping marketing firms win…
Want to win your big pitch? 
Want to REALLY win it?

 Invested in the new business talent

Is your agency presenting the wrong stuff? 
 Are you showing what you’ve done or what 
you could do? 
 Are you presenting capabilities or are you 
showing results? 
 Are you talking about yourself or the client? 
 Are your people showcasing the work or are 
you showcasing your people?

One Last Reminder 
What separates great marketing agencies from all 
the others is not better thinking! It’s the ability of 
those agencies to pitch their ideas better. And 
great work won’t sell if it’s not pitched properly. 
The inability to pitch has consequences that 
reach far and wide.
