Creating a New Agency Model

Brent Smart, CMO of Telstra, discusses their new agency model called Plus Six One. It is an equal partnership between independent agency Bare Meets Eagle on Fire and network agency TBWA. The model aims to combine the creativity of a small independent agency with the resources and capabilities of a larger network agency. They started with a focus on building a culture that values creativity and then developed ways of working that support this vision. The goal is to have the best of both worlds and create great work without compromising on creativity or efficiency.
