This is the RSW/US 2024 Agency New Business Report.
We’ve fielded it since 2010 and present comparable data that is available across previous editions, providing insight on trends in key areas over the past ten years.
This report is typically heavily downloaded because the answers come from our survey of your agency peers.
This year’s survey and the resulting RSW/US 2024 Agency New Business Report see ad agencies, marketing services firms, and PR firms seeing continuing challenges, albeit with certain improvements regarding challenges we saw in previous years: slowing referrals, decreased budgets, and longer sales cycles.
Agency executives nationwide had the opportunity to participate, and in fielding the survey, we wanted to discern how the challenges and dynamics of agency new business efforts have evolved as we finish 2024 and head into 2025.
Our hope is the key findings and implications of the study presented in this report provide value to you as you develop your plans for the remainder of the year and into Q1.
