Agency Search
Victoire & Co is the go-to partner for in-house marketing and communications leaders who are too busy to run an agency search the right way. We navigate the complexities and nuances of the agency landscape to find your ideal match.
Our role is to understand your needs, to bring outstanding potential partners to the table, and to make sure you get to know enough about them so you can feel confident in your selection.
Our Relationship-Driven Approach
Understanding Your Needs
We take a deep dive with your team to understand what qualities you’re looking for in a partner, past successes and missteps, communications and marketing priorities vs. business realities, procurement requirements, budget considerations, and more. We craft a clear brief to align internal stakeholders and ensure that potential agency partners grasp your vision from the start.
Finding the Right Fit
It's not just about capabilities; it's about culture, compatibility, and commitment. We identify and vet potential agency partners who align seamlessly with your needs and deliver exceptional work. Through agency scouting and in-depth conversations, we handpick agencies with the potential to be your long-term partners.
Making the Best Choice
Your search for a new agency partner deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach. We invite select agencies to participate in a tailored review process. Through chemistry meetings, proposal discussions, and candid debriefs, we assess each agency's experience, expertise, and cultural fit. Once you’re confident with your selection, we work closely with both client and agency teams to ensure a smooth transition.
