The new-business gap in marketing agencies
Marketing agencies are good at generating demand for clients and often short on time to do it for themselves. Account work always wins against prospecting, RFPs arrive with tight deadlines, and growing existing accounts depends on noticing what's changing in each client's market. All of that is research and writing that someone has to find time for.
