What Clients Think
Jonathan Kirk will be speaking at a breakfast seminar in Dublin on 11th February, hosted by Design Enterprise Skillnet. He will be exploring key insights for agencies from the latest ‘What Clients Think’ report.
What Clients Think 2019/20
This year’s report is our 6th and biggest yet. Based on 525 client interviews conducted on behalf of design agencies, the report provides a fascinating insight into the modern client/agency relationship. Every interview was paid for by a design agency that commissioned Up to the Light to carry out a Client Survey. Therefore, clients are giving considered views in an interview about their current agency relationships, rather than just responding to an online survey or a more general piece of market research. This gives the findings more weight and credibility.
As in previous years, the report is divided into three sections. Firstly, ‘Client World’ looks at bigger picture client concerns and issues. Secondly, ‘Winning Clients’ looks at agency new business activity and pitching. Thirdly, ‘Retaining & Growing Clients’ covers client service and client development issues.
‘What Clients Think 2019/2020’ launch
The 6th annual report, based on over 500 client interviews, will be launched on 27th November. The report is in association with the DBA and a half-day Design Business Association seminar with guest speakers will mark the occasion.
