Industry Update Volume 36

Executive Summary – Monthly Recap:

The first few months of 2019 gave us a solid view into the current dynamics of the advertising industry and how it might shape its future. Fueled by increased automation and data-driven marketing, data science and analysis remain a big focus for agencies eager to build that technical skillset to provide better insight and gain ROI from their tight marketing budgets. The talent demand seems to quickly outpace the supply, leading to increased staffing costs and a significant gap for both agencies and advertisers to fill. Some brands like Walmart are increasingly taking that work in-house. The question is daunting: How good is the data if no none can effectively use it or make sense of it?

Newsworthy reports and recent developments:

At AMS, we approach the agency management discipline as four distinct but complementary practice areas – Talent, Work, Financials, and Performance and Value— which is how we categorize the following developments:

TALENT: securing the right talent and resources

The conversation about agency talent is increasingly about consolidation to better integrate and simplify. Advertisers increasingly seek integrated solutions to simplify their engagement and ensure tighter alignment and agency collaboration, leading holding companies like WPP and Publicis to restructure to bring creative and media together in a more cohesive offering, recoupling what was once decoupled. In some instances, the consolidation is within a particular spend category like media, as evidenced by the consolidation of Blue 449 and Spark Foundry within Publicis Media.

• Retailer giant Walmart is developing an in-house unit to take control of digital and in-store ad sales, ending its partnership with Triad (WPP’s programmatic media unit Xaxis acquired Triad in 2017) and getting ready to compete with Amazon. The retailer has a unique combination of online and store purchase data from millions of customers.
• New models continue to emerge to improve cross-agency collaboration. For example, co-led by executives from WPP’s Grey and Publicis Groupe shops Leo Burnett and Saatchi & Saatchi, Procter & Gamble’s Woven is a shop comprised of personnel from two holding companies (WPP and Publicis) that includes in-house media planning and buying.
• Per Marketing Land, 72% of global digital agencies say the most needed skills that their shops will require in two years’ time will be data science and analysis. Per YouAppi and Dimensional Research, 68% of agencies worldwide have dramatically increased their focus on data, metrics, and analysis in the past five years.
• As in-house agencies flourish at brand advertisers, so does the idea of co-locating WPP estimates that 2,000 of its staff, or 1.5%, are continuously co-located at client sites.
• Amazon-only ad partners, service providers specialized in helping brands perform on Amazon’s advertising platform, are gaining momentum as clients look for that expertise. Examples: Marketplace Ignition (WPP), Velocity (Omnicom), Teikametrics, etc.
• Horizon Media introduced a new agency, Big, which will operate under a 100 percent performance-based model, aimed at start-ups, ecommerce, and emerging brands. Horizon Media expects 70 to 80 percent of its ad deals to be guaranteed on business outcomes in the next five years.
• New performance marketing and first direct-to-revenue agency, DriVR, launched, offering services ranging from digital media, creative, OOH, mobile, and strategies for OTT/streaming, TV, video, voice, and audio, to pop-up experiences. The agency leverages proprietary, systematized, and accountable performance processes and tools to support clients.
• Publicis Media merged its two media agencies, Blue 449 and Spark Foundry, under the Spark Foundry brand, as part of its ongoing consolidation plans. The global brand will now employ approximately 4,200 people in 12 markets. The only exceptions: France, US, and UK, where the Blue 449 agency will still operate independently.
• Omnicom commerce agency Integer launched its retail experience design consultancy, Sky Bench. The new entity offers new store concept development, store fleet modernization, store-within-store build-outs, pop-ups, shopper journey tracking, and other capabilities.
• Per Henrich Greve, Tim Rowley, and Andrew Shipilov, in their book Network Advantage: How to Unlock Value From Your Alliances and Partnerships, companies around the world formed 42,000 alliances between 2002 and 2011. Yet 60 to 70 percent of alliances fail, according to industry experts.
• From holding company-owned to becoming independent again: agencies like Johannes Leonardo, Richard Attias & Associates, and O’Keefe Reinhard & Paul have taken back ownership from their holding company partners.
• Nielsen acquired addressable advertising company Sorenson Media. The company launched a new product, Nielsen Advanced Video Advertising, focused on smart TV-based measurement.
• Accenture acquired What If, which offers clients the ability to incubate new products, services, business models, and organizational structures within the bounds of structured experimentation, similar to other outsourced in-house practices like Oliver.
• The DAS Group of Companies, a division of Omnicom Group Inc., sold MarketStar, a sales outsourcing provider, to another company (Wasatch Group) to refocus its portfolio of businesses and investment priorities.
• Effie Worldwide launched a marketing effectiveness boot camp, Effie Academy. The purpose is to help the new generation of marketers build stronger skills.
• Canadian public affairs consulting firm Prospectus Associates expanded its offering beyond its original focus with the addition of creative agency Neptune Blue to its portfolio. Neptune Blue clients include Microsoft, Google, Walt Disney, McDonalds, DreamWorks, Nokia, X-Box, and Salesforce.

WORK: producing great work and outcomes

The South by Southwest (SXSW) conference and festival held in Austin was a great venue to discover superb work by brands and agencies focused on converging interactive, film, and music. over 430,000 people participated in the event, which spanned 10 days and nights. Innovation concepts like HBO’s “Bleed for the Throne” show how the convergence of film, interactivity, and advertising can deliver highly engaging cross-brand experiences.

AGENCY REVIEWS AND ROSTER CHANGES

• Per COMvergence, Publicis Media Group was the winner of the major agency holding companies’ media account services reviews in 2018, followed by Group M and Omnicom Media Group.

Disclaimer: The reviews listed often capture larger review activity reported in the industry trade press, which we understand to be only a subset of total review activity. Specialist reviews (digital, social, PR, etc.) are rarely reported in the trade press. Also, due to the increasing number of project reviews (versus AOR/retainer reviews), many of those are not receiving media attention and therefore are not included here.
