(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nMost agency-client relationships in experiential marketing are short-term and project-based, with annual client turnover rates between 30% and 50%, per Focus Dig, signaling a structural retention problem.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you're a brand running experiential, demand a 12-month strategic roadmap from your agency, not a project brief. If you're an agency, stop selling one-off activations and start positioning yourself as a year-round brand presence partner. The brands keeping the same agencies are the ones tying activations to quarterly sales targets and inventory management, not just awareness.\nWhat that means for you: This data is a warning and an opportunity. High turnover means clients are not seeing ROI or the agency is not tying the work to business outcomes. Any operator who can show how an activation moved retail velocity or email signups is going to retain clients that others lose.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Focus Dig: http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=6a28d3612cf9452d8e8e31832abbf59e&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.msn.com%2fen-us%2ftravel%2fnews%2fwhy-brands-rehire-the-same-experiential-agency-and-what-pop-up-mob-shows%2far-AA2403So&c=1097709346490138824&mkt=en-us.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
