State of the Pitch Research Report 2026 now available

What is the state of the pitch?

There are many opinions on pitching. The State of the Pitch Research, now in its third year, this report provides a snapshot of the state of the pitch in Australia from agencies participating in pitches between July 1 and December 31st, 2025.

The research is anonymous to protect the agencies participating and the clients running the pitch.

The results of this research are insightful and provide a view of how well or poorly pitches are being managed and by which category of advertisers.

The State of the Pitch Report is essential reading for anyone undertaking, managing or participating in the pitch process including marketers, advertisers, procurement, consultants and of course agencies.

It will also provide a source of data to progress the industry discussion on ways to improve the pitch process, hopefully led by the various and relevant industry bodies and through the TrinityP3 BetterPitch program.

The State of the Pitch Research is global through TrinityP3’s partnership with Haymarket Media and through Campaign US, Campaign Canada and this year it will roll out through Campaign Germany and Campaign Asia.
