The agency-of-record era is ending. The accountability era has begun.

As the AOP model breaks down and the platform mix fragments, media and brand spend must prove effect — and agencies must re-prove value campaign by campaign. We give brands and agencies the effectiveness evidence and benchmarks that win the accountability argument.

Where media is heading

Spend is growing, but it now has to prove it works.

Advertising across the region is digitising and concentrating fast. Measurement is consolidating toward comparable, cross-platform attribution even as the mix fragments into social and short-form video. Agencies without an effectiveness and benchmarking proposition lose the retention argument; brands without cross-market evidence cannot justify where the incremental dollar goes.

The decisions on the agenda
  • Prove campaign effectiveness against a benchmark

    Give brands robust effectiveness data and an industry benchmark as measurement accountability rises.

  • Defend retainers as clients pitch per campaign

    Re-prove strategic value continually as the annual agency-of-record model erodes.

  • Master a fragmenting, video- and social-led mix

    Reallocate budgets across short-form video, streaming and retail media as spend shifts from display.

  • Attribute across walled gardens

    Install cross-platform attribution to reallocate budgets on comparable metrics amid privacy tightening.
