RSW/US 2020 New Year Outlook Report

Senior-level Marketers and Marketing Agency executives completed the 2020 RSW/US New Year Outlook survey during December, 2019.

The purpose of the survey was to glean insights relative to marketer and agency perspective as each headed into 2020.

Topics explored include “biggest challenges facing marketing agencies” as seen through the eyes of marketers and agencies, topics related to spending and investment expectations, the growth of specialty agencies, the growth of in-house agencies, and the ever-increasing importance of data and analytics.

 

Our hope is the key findings and implications from this study are of value as you kick your marketing and sales planning into gear for 2020.

The agency sample came from our RSW/AgencySearch database of over 5,000 marketing service companies in the U.S. and Canada ranging in size from under
$5M in capitalized billings to over $100M.

The disciplines of each Agency included full-service advertising, digital, PR, and marketing consultancies, to name a few examples.

The marketer sample came from our RSW/US database of 50,000 marketing decision-maker contacts. Company size, location, and category varied.
