With over 24 years of experience, our advertising/PR agency, BROEKMAN, has experienced numerous cycles, including the reduction of marketing budgets as well as cutting advertising spend. Today, more than ever, marketing leaders need to forecast economic changes and world market conditions (i.e., COVID) and provide solutions before the client asks. We have had numerous situations where clients wanted to push pause on the retainer of our firm, and we were able to effectively justify that our marketing budget was critical to providing valuable leads and a considerable revenue stream. Understanding our financial impact on the company’s overall profitability enabled us to influence the saving of our position and manage an advertising spend for many clients to coast through the hard times safely, maintain visibility, and not break the company’s bank. At BROEKMAN, we are all about collaboration as partners, and developing relationships means that there is mutual respect; however, in hard times like COVID, everything boiled down to dollars and cents. Bottom line, be prepared to justify your existence, work your worth, and assert your value.
