1. The size of an agency is not a valid index for determining its efficiency and professionalism: as always, what counts are the people, their preparation and their ability to create value for the agency's clients.
2. A good agency must, first of all, demonstrate an ability to listen, indispensable for understanding the client's expectations. Don't take it for granted, because listening is not easy at all.
3. Being highly proactive over time is a sign of an agency’s vitality. How many questions has your agency asked you while getting to know your company?
4. Are any of the agency's clients willing to give it a personal endorsement? If an agency has done a good job for its clients, they should certainly be available to say good things about it.
5. It is similarly important that journalists are available to give their positive comment of the agency’s work. An agency that knows its craft is considered a precious resource by media operators.
6. A good agency will make its cost structure as clear as possible: unexpected costs or inadequate spending indicate a lack of transparency and correctness.
7. How often have you had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with the heads of the agency? Only when the contract is signed or renewed, or when something's wrong? The heads of a good agency create a constant, personal relationship with their clients, meeting with them frequently to gauge their level of satisfaction.
8. An agency’s reporting is very important: it must be punctual, precise
and detailed and contain an analysis of the facts together with their valuation.
It is also important to identify measures to be taken for the activities that
haven't generated the promised results.
