Results: Why top advertising agencies lose business

In April I wrote about Avi Dan’s Forbes blog post where he postulated why agencies lose business and decided to put this to the test with a LinkedIn poll.

Well the results are in.

While the “agency loses passion for the client’s business” was top, the “advertising under-performs” was a very close second which reminds me that while we often make emotional decisions about things we always like to have a rational reason as support.

I want to thanks all of those people who participated and those who also commented including Anne Miles, Ruben Martinez Sanchez, Alan Linnemann, Adrian Jenkins and Steve O’Rourke.
