Strategic Sourcing Guide to Strategic Branding & Creative Services Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Advertising as well as Strategic Branding & Creative Services procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. In the broader industry, automated tools and advanced technology is making inroads and even replacing some of the non-core workforce of suppliers. As a result, overall cost structure of suppliers has become more favorable across the industry and buyers of Strategic Branding & Creative Services can expect to benefit from lower costs of suppliers once they break even with their investments in technology.

Price rise in certain essential assets and supplies required to deliver Strategic Branding & Creative Services is making a significant addition to the supplier's overall expenditure. This could have an inflationary impact on buyer's procurement expenditure in the Strategic Branding & Creative Services market.

An intense competition in the supply market owing to new entrants is expected to provide more procurement options to buyers for Strategic Branding & Creative Services and offer significant negotiation leverage.

Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.

Strategic Branding & Creative Services Procurement Best Practices

Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with Strategic Branding & Creative Services procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers should engage with service providers that provide services through an hourly based pricing model. Within an hourly based pricing model, buyers would have a fair idea of the exact time required for the work done by service provider. Consequently, billing rates will be implemented accordingly.

While engaging with a service provider, buyers should procure creative services from a tier 1 creative agency and outsource the production work to a local agency to reduce billing rates.

Having dedicated on-site staff from the service provider is a highly recommended measure for reducing category lead time for buyers.
