Why Clients Choose and Stay with Their Agency

What Makes Buyers Reach Out

Most agencies think they understand their buyers. Most clients wish they did.

This study digs into that gap: how understanding (or the lack of it) shapes every outcome that matters: lead quality, client fit, retention, and trust.

We’re comparing perspectives from both sides of the partnership to see what actually drives long-term success.

By taking part, you’ll:

Benchmark your approach against other peers and buyers

Get early access to data showing what truly moves the needle

Help define a clearer, more evidence-based standard for how agencies and clients build lasting partnerships

Once you complete the survey, you’ll get a live snapshot of the preliminary data.
