Survey shows non-profits and foundations may want to re-think the conventional RFP process when looking for a new agency.
When it comes to finding the right ad agency or PR firm, a recent survey shows that non-profits and foundations that use the traditional RFP as their first step in the agency search may want to re-think that process. Agencyfinder.com, the largest online agency search and evaluation service in the advertising and PR industry, cited findings of a recent survey of over 4,000 firms registered with the service that reveal some problems inherent in the way non-profit organizations and foundations secure the services of marketing professionals. �The results of the study show the traditional method of sending out a Request for Proposal (RFP) to a laundry list of agencies is no longer viable or efficient and could, potentially, do a worthy cause more harm than good,� according to Chuck Meyst, Chairman and CEO of Richmond, VA-based Agencyfinder.
