Why Agency Companies Hire a Brand Strategist
Marketing agencies need brand strategists for two reasons: to build their own agency brand and to deliver brand strategy as a service to clients. Agencies that invest in their own positioning attract better clients, command higher rates, and reduce business development costs. Agencies that add brand strategy to their service offering create a higher-margin, strategic revenue stream that deepens client relationships and reduces churn.
