Innovation Fatigue: Are Agencies Struggling to Innovate?

A Roundtable Discussion for Agency Leaders

Overview

Once known as the engines of innovation – experimenting with new technologies and creative problem-solving models agencies now find themselves in a shifting landscape. Procurement pressure, pricing challenges and a move towards lower-risk, subscription-based models may be limiting the space for bold experimentation.

Is “innovation fatigue” setting in across our sector?

BIMA is convening a small group of agency leaders for an open, Chatham House-rule discussion to explore this question in depth. Together, we’ll look at how the innovation landscape is changing, where the barriers lie, and what’s needed to re-energise creative innovation across the UK’s digital and marketing agencies.
