Why print works for marketing & creative agencies
Agencies sell to local business owners and marketing decision-makers, and a credible print presence both reaches that audience and demonstrates the agency can make print work, useful proof for a firm that also buys media for clients. Business and community sections reach the companies that hire agencies, and a keepable ad with services and results sits until a marketing need arises. Local presence and demonstrated craft win the relationships agencies depend on.

The playbook
Target local businesses through business and community sections, leading with your services, results or case proof, and a consultation offer, with creative that demonstrates your craft. Because clients are high-value and ongoing, prioritise relevant business readership. Track with an offer code or dedicated line, and judge titles on reach into the local business base.
How to measure and prove it
Use an offer code or a dedicated line and track consultations and new client engagements during the flight. Because an agency client is high-value and recurring, judge cost per new client against that lifetime value, and use the calculator to confirm a title reaches the local business base you target.
