Keynote Meeting
Clients Are From Mars; Agencies Are From Venus
A strong Client/Agency relationship is paramount to great marketing and business success.
It's a complex formula that requires key components: inspiring creativity, shared knowledge, strong business acumen, the ability to make calculated risks and shared trust. The better the relationship - the better the work.
BMA Colorado is partnering with the Denver Ad Club in a forum that explores agency and client perspectives on how to get the most from their relationship and partners. Questions from the audience are encouraged.
This holiday joint luncheon will feature food stations and lots of opportunity for holiday networking.
