I’ve got an agency (agency A) that will most probably pop the question on Wednesday, meanwhile, I have another agency that is still talking to me and will most likely make a decision a week later. Do I tell Agency A that I’m still in talks with another agency and to be patient with me, or does this come across as not being committed to their role?

Yes. But do not tell them where, and do not disclose the comp/package until you have your offer in hand. Use whatever leverage you have.

You can also tell B you have an offer and see if they are willing to expedite.

Yeah came to say this. I’d use it more as a tactic to speed things up for agency b

I’d say show gratitude first. Say ‘thank you very much for the offer’. I’m very interested in the opportunity. Ask specifics about everything. Maybe an ‘I’d love to give this a thorough think-through, how much time to do I have? Can you give me x days?

Agency A may not want to wait a week+ for you to decide. So, you need to decide for yourself which you'd rather have, and if you're willing to lose A if B doesn't make an offer.

like

Wait until you get offer. Go to B and tell them you have an offer, to expedite process. Push back on offer from A, even if it’s minor details, this will buy time. If B wants you, they’ll make an offer in the window. Decide if you like A or B better. Congrats on the new gig. 🍾👊
