Will your agency be in the Top 100 for 2014?

It’s official – Econsultancy’s Top 100 Digital Agencies report is now open for 2014 entries.

With the fee income from last year’s agencies reaching a whopping £1.18bn, it will be interesting to see how the industry has developed within the last 12 months.

Last year we had over 400 agencies express an interest in the Top 100 Digital Agencies report and this year we expect even more to join.

With 70% saying they were “very optimistic” for their growth for the next 12 months, we expect the total fee income to rise substantially.

How optimistic are you for your business over the next 12 months?

Who topped the table last year?

The top 10 agencies for 2013 were:

SapientNitro
LBi
AKQA
Engine
BAE Systems Detica

Digital marketing strategy: how to get started

One of my specialisms is digital strategy. So I read a lot about strategy, and digital, and digital strategy.

In doing so I consistently find that the term has many interpretations in the digital world, meaning that digital marketing discussion forums are full of people asking where to start with crafting their own strategy.

Those same discussion forums are often flooded with responses that are blatant and biased sales tactics rather than genuinely helpful pointers.

So, here’s my advice (without ulterior motive!) for where to begin.

Marketers doing more in-house: the trend no-one talks about?

Achieving the right balance between building in-house capability and outsourcing is one of the defining questions of modern marketing.

Research conducted for Econsultancy’s new Best Practice Guide to Insourcing and Outsourcing indicates that this is an ever-shifting dynamic.

When combined with variations by sector and digital maturity, it means greater complexity for marketers and greater difficulty in establishing exactly what good looks like.

The rise of the freelancer: stats

Freelancing. Early 19th century in origin, as two words, denoting a mercenary.

In the US, gigging (freelancing) is a well-established phenomenon. An estimated 20–33% of the workforce consists of independent workers (Accenture).

The top 10 skills supplied by UK freelancers (listed below) are pretty much exclusively utilised in the service industries involved with the web and marketing.

Surprisingly, a fifth of UK grads with a first class degree have already freelanced. With flexibility and earning potential, not to mention the lack of a ‘real’ boss, being major attractions for some of the best and brightest, how can you work well with freelancers?

In this post I’m revealing findings from a new report from elance looking at trends in freelancing in the UK.
