6. Agencies; A necessary evil!
AGENCIES ARE ESSENTIAL, BUT FRUSTRATING• Everyone we spoke to had used agencies, • they are necessary • and this is what they had to say:
“try to rip you off, so do your research”
“don't get online brands”
“Both [kinds] are frustrating!!”
“Agencies aren’t flexible”
“Find an analytical media buying agency” “poor understanding
of e-commerce”
