Global Marketing Management Update

6 November 2019


Welcome to the November edition of TrinityP3’s e-news

Today at 4 pm in Singapore Trinity P3 CEO, Darren Woolley and Asia Business Director, Julian Barrans are on stage at the Mumbrella360 Asia presenting:

The Pitch – A Game Show Beyond All Others

We ask – is the pitch always the right way to choose new clients? Not necessarily. Often pitches can be long and expensive for no good reason. So what are the alternatives? And if you do have to run a pitch, what are the best-practice elements to doing it well?

In this fun game show activation you will find out the answers to those questions and a whole lot more besides.

Taking part as a contestant will be the award-winning Hong Kong-based CEO and founder of Sinclair, Kiri Sinclair, as well as the Havas Singapore chief strategy officer Mallika Shankarnarayan and the Wunderman Thompson Asia-Pacific chief client and growth officer Sharon Fernandes along with IPG Mediabrands Singapore CEO David Haddad.

Here is some important reading on the issues covered today.

Let’s look at some guidelines for the three reasons you would pay pitch fees and some recommendations on what you should consider paying. Find out more here .

Too many agencies

You often read in the trade media of pitches where there are 12 or more agencies invited to ‘pitch’ for an advertiser’s account. In the Democratic Presidential race, the more candidates there are, the less likely one is to find the best candidate. Is it the same when searching for an agency? Find out more here .
