The Great Re-bundling Debate: Should
Media and Creative Come Back Together?
WORKSHOP FACILITATOR:
Paul Woolmington Naked Communications
Noah Brier Naked Communications
THE RULES

• Be nice . . .
• But don’t be afraid to challenge
• Interrupt at any point
• Talk to each other
THE AGENDA

• Definitions
• History
• Pros & Cons
• New models
• Rules of engagement
UNBUNDLED

• Agencies that specialize is a particular part of the
marketing puzzle. This can be as broad as media/
creative or as narrow as SEO.
BUNDLED

• An agency where media, strategy, creative and
(increasingly) technology is all housed under one roof.
HOLDING COMPANY

• Lots of unbundled/bundled agencies living within a
larger organization.
HOW DID WE GET HERE? VOL. 1

• Media agencies were tired of getting pushed around
and decided to take their expertise (and money)
elsewhere.
HOW DID WE GET HERE? VOL. 2

• The endless spectrum of digital made specialization
even more of a necessity.
• At the same time, the blurred lines between media and
creative made us wonder if re-bundling made more
sense.
THERE’S NO ONE ANSWER

• Like most things, it ebbs and flows.
PROS AND CONS
FOOD FOR THOUGHT

• How do you integrate?
• Which structure is more objective?
• Where does digital fall into the mix?
• Integrated vs. holding company
• Role of client vs. agency
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

• “A clear strategic focus”
• “Clearly defining agency scopes”
• “Frequent and open agency feedback”
• “Training and strategic engagement of our agency
partners”
• “Recognizing and celebrating successes”



                        SOURCE: “Maximizing unbundled agency performance - a case study.”
                        Lisa Wellington, The Advertiser, February 2006, pp.22-24
NEW MODELS?

• Executive Producer
• Client-controlled
thanks for coming.

love,
