Mad Ave Manslaughter in London
At the recent IPA Conference in London, Management Consultant and BIC Professor Michael Farmer challenged agency CEOs to put a floor under declining prices - a simple result of declining fees and increasing workloads - and to hold account handlers responsible for client financial performance. Noting that industry initiatives over the last few decades have singularly failed to reverse the decline in prices, he called for a focus on achieving business results for clients and the need to manage agencies as ideas factories.
