Question: I’m new to all this so sorry if this is so obvious. How often do mid to large size agencies contract work out to smaller ones? And what’s the best way to go about starting that relationship?

Depends on what your company's offerings are. Mid to large size agencies are typically part of holding companies and those holding companies usually have some sort of resource they use within themselves. If you can identify the gap your company can address then lead your pitch to them with that, reach out to the decision makers in those agencies directly.
Other times, it's the client's decision to hire another third party if the agency doesn't serve a need within the fee structure. Again, depending on your services, you should approach them directly and lead with that. Hope that helps!

Often for production. Interactive used to be like that too back on the day, less so now with the likes of huge...Big agencies like 72andSunny had to spin off their internal production shops because clients believed there was price fixing going on. Editing and post shops, design firms & director reps are forms of outsourcing as well.

Is it the case here?
Thanks!

Guys,
Need some suggestions.
Currently I am working in TCS Kolkata with 6.8lpa, technology - Exchange 2010 (which is already out of support from Microsoft).
I got an offer from Infosys Bhubaneswar with 9.3lpa, technology: Office 365.
My hometown is Kolkata.
Hybrid model is okay for me if it is Bhubaneswar as my in-laws won't allow me to move to a different city. Problem is opportunities are very less in Kolkata and TCS won't hire ex- employees. Should I switch to Infosys or stay back in TCS..

Hi all, does anyone have a good framework they would recommend for developing HCP/physician communication strategies and defining tactics for HCP engagement (outside of pharma reps)? There is of course a ton out there for patient communications such as patient journey mapping but engaging HCPs is a very different beast. Looking for something a bit more nuanced than a traditional consumer framework. Thanks!
