Building the strongest possible Agency/Client relationship is more important now than ever. As Agencies and Clients are planning for 2021 and beyond, CommPro is offering exclusive access to some of the most well-respected communicators in the industry in a panel discussion designed to help leaders from “Both Sides” learn how to build trusting, profitable relationships that endure. Our panel will also discuss the 5 common mistakes to avoid in every agency/client relationship.

If you are a communication leader who wants to build a better agency/client relationship, this event is a must.
This event is for both Agency and Client-side Leaders.
