 “State of the Agency: Digital Marketing and the Technology Driven Ecosystem,” Brought to you by Winterberry Group and the DMA Marketing Technology and DM Agency Councils.

This white paper entitled “State of the Agency: Digital marketing and the Technology Driven Ecosystem,” explores the challenges and changes impacting agency/client relationships in the digital world and the role that marketing automation will play in strengthening these relationships in the future. Building on feedback compiled through dozens of interviews with senior-level agency executives and marketing technology providers, this study aims to address the following questions:

·         Given the new demands of the “digital world,” how has the recent rise in media complexity impacted agency/client relationships and structure?

·         What new service, financial and technology challenges are agencies facing in order to meet marketer expectations? How are agencies restructuring to resolve these challenges?

·         What role have marketing automation technologies played to date in facilitating and/or optimizing agency processes? What is the current level of demand and adoption?

·         How will marketing service providers interact with one another in the future to best service their clients?

 Each white paper introduced will be re-developed into a webinar and offer it free to Marketing Technology Council members.
