When a project is taking longer because of client delays, what have you done to motivate them back on track so the agency isn’t burning hrs/money waiting on decisions? Looking for contract details, conversation motivators, money/percentage threats, recommend moving to hourly after a certain time etc. any advice welcome.

I factor turn around into contracts. For instance, if a client needs 3 weeks to review and approve something, if you don't hear back from them by week 5, it's approved and work continues. It's a bit pushier than I like to be, but for some clients you have to have that safeguard lest you twiddle your thumbs for the duration of the contract.

Hi All. Looking for thoughts on vertical expertise and whether it’s just a good sales tool or whether anyone has considered structuring the company in this format because it drives stronger work? I’ve always been fairly anti vertical because I think it stifles ideas and thinking, but you can always have people that specialize that you pull in when having bespoke industry knowledge can help. What do others think? Do clients want this from their partners?
