Anyone ever been at a creative agency that only brings in strategists as freelance? Even at the CSO level? And anyone they put up for a strategy role in a pitch is a temp. Here’s my question… does this work? Are brands really getting the strategic oversight even if the agency promises “as much of this strategist as you need”. How does freelance strategy departments impact a client/brands experience and outcome?
