SPOS #68 – Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast – +1 (206) 666-6056 – Do RFPs For Digital Marketing Agencies Make Sense?

Welcome to episode #68 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. Two big questions came out of this episode and I really need your help in starting the conversation. The first one is about how prepared us Marketers are for creating content and advertising for all of these new devices that are coming out on to the market – from the new Apple iTouch iPod to the N Series from Nokia. It’s a new game and I’m not sure how prepared we all are. Second question revolved around RFPs for Digital Marketing agencies. Do you think when a Request For Proposal is made that both the client and the agency are well-educated enough to make the right choice, or is there an underlying knowledge to Digital Marketing that is hard to bring across in this type of process? Lots of big questions – lots of stuff to talk about. Enjoy this conversation…
