Marketing and Creative Departments are specialized services. Shouldn’t your consultant support be specialized too? To say how we work and how companies manage themselves have changed over the last couple of years is an understatement. As businesses are figuring out how to operate effectively and efficiently between the great resignation, remote vs. hybrid vs. onsite debate, and supply chain difficulties, it is not surprising that more and more corporations are turning to generic and large consulting companies to support their operations and services.

Fortune 500 companies are proving to be very keen to bring in companywide consulting services to reimagine their business through these recent changes, but where does that leave the unique requirements of the Marketing and Creative departments? Already a largely misunderstood service offering within their organizations and much dwarfed in size ratio compared to their company's primary offerings teams, and they are now experiencing re-organization recommendations from external advisors with little or no expertise in this unique field.
If this is not enough, Marketing as a discipline is also going through a remarkable transformation with the demands to serving more individualized content in addition to developing more engaging customer and brand-centric messaging, leaving both the Marketing and Creative departments scrambling to make sense of suggestions and requests for change that often don't relate to the delicate balance of skill sets, volume and project types required and produced in our world.
However, you are not alone, and there is support out there for you that can supplement the generic business transformation engagement and simultaneously propel the Creative and Marketing service offerings into a future state in one go.
