This week's discussion focuses on different aspects of the client pitching process from an agency perspective, looking at how it has developed over the years and the impact of the COVID-19 period.
The guests explain what they like, and don't like, about the process. They reveal their personal pitching 'red flags' - and horror stories.
The agency bosses discuss what makes an ideal pitch, the role of procurement, whether guidelines or codes of practice can help, and whether agencies should expect to be paid for pitching.
