Agencies often have to present complex ideas. These may be creative ideas, strategic and comms ideas or detailed data analysis. Often the focus is lost and teams lose sight of the argument and fail to present it in the most compelling way. This often results in missed opportunities and Clients not being convinced of their agencies point of view.

What are the objectives of this course?

The main objective is to instil in delegates the skills to be able to utilise our unique, clear and simple methodology for constructing an argument so that it’s clear to understand and easy to ‘buy’ for all types of audience.

Who is this course for?

This course is particularly helpful for those in all types of Agency who are involved in having to convince colleagues and Client partners of their proposals and arguments.
