What's Included

Choosing the wrong marketing agency costs more than the retainer — misaligned strategy, missed deadlines, and brand inconsistency can take years to repair. This template puts structure around the agency evaluation process so marketing directors and brand managers can compare agencies on the dimensions that actually predict success: strategic thinking, creative process, measurement approach, and team continuity.

The six-section framework collects agency credentials, capability depth, campaign strategy, portfolio evidence, all-in pricing, and team communication norms. Because agencies fill in structured fields rather than submitting free-form decks, reviewers spend time on substance rather than reformatting submissions for comparison.

Designed for marketing directors, CMOs, and brand managers at organizations with annual marketing budgets of $250K or more who need to select an agency partner for multi-channel campaigns, brand refreshes, or demand generation programs.
