How do you get a cross agency team to stop fighting amongst themselves and work together on the client assignments? Seems like everyone is just trying to steal each other's business instead

I was going to say "good luck" but really the only solution is a client that understands that this behavior happens and discourages people from straying from their own lanes. Obviously in their mind cross agency teams work together like the X-Men when in truth it's more like Game of Thrones.

The key is to see each other as people. I try to go there and meet with people at other agencies IRL and in small groups of 2-3. When it's only conference calls and groups of 5+ people it's easy to think us v them. When you get along with the other agencies it's night and day better.

Power of 1 fail! However, I saw a few agencies under Publicis Health master a cross agency assignment without the drama. They eliminated the individual agency egos and presented themselves as one entity (Publicis Health).

I just don't understand why holding companies think this ever would work.

Haha @OP DigitasLbi is the whipping boy of Publicis. Never gonna happen.

I’m a second year associate at a small, but reputable firm. My caseload is almost entirely made up of clients who were referred to one of the partners but the partners are too busy so I end up taking the case. The clients are told up front that an associate, rather than a partner will be taking his/her case. I’ve run into an issue a couple of times where the client doubts my advice because I am only 2 years in. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I address the fact that I’m only 2 years in?
