With the IAS new business course, less than two weeks away, the Independent Agency Selection (IAS) recommends that agencies book their seats now as this promises to be one for the books.
For six consecutive weeks from Wednesday 24 January 2018, the IAS will run its “winning new business” course for agencies – aimed at equipping communication agencies with the skills and guidance required for advertising, media, public relations, design and digital agencies to overcome the challenges associated with winning new business.
“The IAS course features six standard sessions over the six week period and is open to both IAS subscribers and non-subscribers. To ensure personal attention and engagement, a maximum of ten (10) delegates will be accommodated,” says Johanna McDowell, Managing Director at the IAS.
The course is facilitated by Johanna McDowell, whose background includes being on both the agency and the client side of the fence. Johanna is ideally placed to offer commentary and direction on marketing and advertising in both the South African and international contexts.
“Experiential training that includes role playing and group work will form part of learning how to approach – and win – new business in a perfect blend of knowledge that will serve all types of agencies in the communication industry,” adds Johanna.
