Marketing Procurement Will Feature in 50% of Marketing Agency Appointments in 2013
/EINPresswire.com/ Marketing procurement is set to feature in 50% of agency appointments next year. According to FindGood, the London-based Marketing Agency Search & Selection company that conducted the survey of over 4,300 client-side marketers- the largest ever of its kind.
"The purpose of the survey was to predict marketing spend trends for and to determine how agency selection decisions are being made," says Kimberly Mears, FindGood's Managing Director.
The big news for agencies is that the role of marketing procurement is likely to increase - 34% use procurement already and a further 8% will do so this year. That suggests that in 2013, over 50% of agency appointments will involve marketing procurement for the first time. So those suppliers who do not embrace working with professional buyers needs to start thinking about how they can.
