The Haystack Group has grown considerably since we first opened our doors in 2001. We now place over £500m of communications budgets into the marketplace annually and manage high profile pitches in the UK and internationally. We work across a variety of disciplines for a number of household names on how they manage and evaluate their agencies.

We work with clients throughout the agency search and selection process, covering everything from developing the agency brief through to creating a long/short list, running the pitch and negotiating fees. We help clients audit their agency needs and identify where they are getting the right levels and quality of support. Where there is a need to develop better marketing skills within client departments, we run a series of training programmes to support all aspects of the creative process.

We work with agencies to help them refine the way they present themselves to clients and how they develop the service offer. We train them in New Business presentation and help them with their reputation management.

In short, our role is to help clients get the best out of their agency relationships and turbo-charge their marketing department - whilst keeping a clear focus on the commercial imperatives.
