The right reading resources can help fuel your agency’s new business.
The only constant in advertising is change and that change can dramatically impact your agency’s new business development. To maintain success, you have to keep up. That isn’t easy. Especially with this revolutionary change we’re experiencing in communications.
If you are responsible for new business, you know how easy it is to get side-tracked within the agency environment. I would encourage you to set up a simple routine for reading, your personal ‘continuing educational program’, specific to new business.
I’ve identified some online new business resources for agency owners, management and new business directors. The following sites provide helpful new business tips, tactics and trends particularly for small to midsize ad agencies.
- Agency Reinvention | Robb High Consulting, Robb High Owner
- Blue Focus Marketing, Mark and Cheryl Burgess, Co-founders
- Mirren Business Development, Brent Hodgins, Managing Partner
- New Business Intel, Todd Knutson, CEO of The Listr
- RSW (Reardon, Smith, Whittaker/UK) , Adam Whittaker, Principal

A good way to maintain a consistent reading program and keep up with the latest content from these sources would be the use of an RSS Reader such as Google Reader. RSS feeds allow you to easily subscribe to content you want to receive.
