Welcome to the March edition of TrinityP3’s e-news
Independent or network agency? Which is the right one for you? There is certainly a lot of buzz about the rise of the independents. In fact, Jeremy Taylor from our UK office wrote about the rise of the new generation of Punk Independents
who are taking on the legacy networks and winning.
But how do the indie agencies get into consideration in the first place? And how can they overcome some of the hurdles that are often put in their place
? We believe the rise of the independents is great for the advertising industry and provides a broader palette of options for the marketers looking for the right agency for their business.
READ – Independent or network – choosing an agency relationship
We’ve noticed a distinct recent trend in global markets for advertisers to request, consider and appoint local independent agencies, rather than going for the big networks. Good news for the local agencies, but we wondered what is behind the shift.

LISTEN – How independent agencies win corporate clients
Susan Werkner is the co-founder of The Agency Accelerators. She shares her experience working as a marketer in large corporations and large network agencies in the USA. How her experience reinforced her belief that smaller, independent suppliers could compete very successfully against their larger competitors. It was a strategy she proved worked when she started her own business. Today, Susan and her partner, Peter Applebaum are using this knowledge to help independent agencies grow.
