So here are some of the decisions and choices to be made in 2013, in no particular order...

Darren Woolley commented on Differentiate or die?
I absolutely agree 100% Nicole. Being different for the sake of being different is the mistake many brands and agencies make. As a pitch consultant I see too many agencies try to be different from the over-supply of agencies in the market place, when what they should be is distinctive and then be consistent in being distinctive. Think TBWA 'disruption' or Saatchi & Saatchi "love marks'. These are not different as many agencies have similar messages, but by being distinctive and consistent in their communication and relevant in their presentation they become powerful marketing tools.

Go Johanna, it is time that PR properly bridges the communications function between corporate affairs and consumer marketing and social networks and media are the ideal channel to facilitate this. Good luck.

Darren Woolley commented on [2012 trends] The year of exciting consolidation
Agency consolidation only occurs because of continued fragmentation at the other end of the market place. New specialist agencies continue to be formed and those that are successful are purchased by the larger predatory networks who continue to fail at creating their own diversification. Besides, there is less risk in simply acquiring successful businesses rather than starting your own.

Darren Woolley commented on CMOs: Changing responsibilities make consultants more important
The problem here is that the complexity and size of the issues arising means that often marketers put roster management into the "too hard basket" or abdicate responsibility to the procurement team only to find that the problems and issues becomes greater to the point they can no longer ignore it. But most are betting on the fact that they will have hopefully moved on to the next role before that happens.

Darren Woolley commented on Thoughts on pitches
Sounds like the marketers, procurement and consultants in South Africa need to catch up with the trends in pitching. Sure, there are plenty of people trotting out the same old creative beauty parades that have been used since Adam was a boy. But the world has moved on and selecting an agency partners is much more complex and important than ever before. Dealing with technology, multiplicity of channels and regional and global requirements means that marketers are looking for a better and more effective selection process. I know our clients and agencies are very happy with what we do. Check it out http://www.trinityp3.com/testimonials.php

[Adforum Worldwide Summit] Value and costs
[Darren Woolley] Day five of the Adforum CEO Summit in NYC started taking about value and ended talking about costs. It demonstrates the huge gap that still exists between procurement, marketers and agencies, if not on an intellectual level, certainly an emotional one.
