Search Consultants: What’s Coming for Your New Business Pipeline

May 16, 2023 | 5:30 pm

Search consultants are an effective leading indicator for the new business pipelines of agencies.

This group of leading matchmakers will share what’s currently in their pipelines – and what's ahead for agencies. They’ll discuss the makeup of client requests, including budget sizes, client objectives, agency capabilities, and the volume of opportunities. Importantly, they’ll provide their take on the opportunities for smaller versus larger agencies.

Time will be provided for audience Q/A and we’ve invited them to join the Cocktail Reception.
