#  The Agency of Record is Dead 

Announcing the death of AORs may be an exaggeration, but the change is really real. The traditional agency model is losing ground to smaller, remote, nimble in-house teams supported by tech specialized partners that can tackle the tactics to execute creative strategy.

Article by Santiago Melluso

For a long time Ad agencies were *the thing*. An essential part of our companies’ lives. Forces of creativity and business acumen that helped us scale the ladder of success.

A brand would be so proud of its Agency of Record that it was a major PR event to announce a new long-term retainer. However, the death of AORs has been shouted from the rooftops of Forbes, AdAge and every major advertising and marketing publication for the past ten years:

> The ​“agency of record” concept is just about dead, and so are the retainers that funded them.
> 
> Michael Farmer, AdAge, 2015

Like most death rumors, it has been greatly exaggerated.

**There are enough arguments for a change of paradigm, though.**

Big, expensive agencies lost dominance because:

- Most of their work became commoditized over time.
- They ended up hiring smaller agencies for siloed deep expertise.
- Media means much more than it used to do and there’s so much to learn it became inapprehensible.
- Sales downturn led to firing talent, which, in turn, led to the loss of advanced expertise, particularly on tactical delivery of technology (advertising or martech).
- With remote work being mainstream, talent is no longer tied to the local, regional or even national reach of the Big Shot Agency gravitational force.
- Small marketing teams delivered similar creative value at a fraction of the cost.
- Prices are nuts and returns are scarce.

### **So it kind of is dead, isn’t it?**

Like with most things, the answer is *it depends*. Most big companies still find more reassurance on similarly large agency partners. There are notable exceptions, like Liberty Mutual [appointing a 15-people team](https://www.adweek.com/agencies/liberty-mutual-names-bandits-friends-its-creative-partner-shifting-away-from-goodby-silverstein-partners/) as their exclusive Creative Partner.

**For mid-market, however, old school AORs make no sense anymore.** The future takes shape as a completely different structure. One that’s more modern, competitive, nimble and daring.

## Long live the In-House creatives.

The times they have a‑changed. Brands no longer have to pay a huge team to pile up hours against your account to thrive. **Smarts can go a long way**, particularly for companies growing into the mid-market.

This is very hard to refute:

1. **There are oh-so-many channels** and touchpoints in your customer journeys that it’s very hard — and terribly expensive — to find one single team with enough expertise.
2. Highly performant and creative visionaries prefer to work in places where they feel they can make a difference, instead of becoming just another cog in a massive machinery.
3. **A team of three skilled people that make good decisions and truly understand the story they have to tell is enough to institute an in-house team.** That’s why these are on the rise.
4. Small and mighty in-house teams need partner agencies to help them sort reality, particularly from a technical perspective.

## The new agency role and what it means for your company

This is happening. Today:

- **Artificial intelligence is consistently mediocre at most things, but it’s extraordinarily successful at being mediocre.** It will replace every subpar agency in the world. There’s no more room for teams doing generic, cheap, cookie cutter work.
- Mid to big teams doing excellent work across many disciplines will be slowly acquired and consolidated into larger agencies until these dominate again.
- Those of us with a ​“T” shaped skill set – enough generalist knowledge to be useful, plus a specific expertise that runs deep – have a shot at staying independent and relevant.

This will breed a new generation of ​“agencies of”:

- **Agencies of Visibility.** The ones to whom you delegate paid advertising, SEO, Inbound and other performance marketing work.
- **Agencies of Media.**Chances are you’ll have in-house production too, but these are the ones that step up when you need to scale production quality and reach, and act as a more traditional advertising agency, including media buying.
- **Agencies of Influence.**In-house influencers are a thing, and the ideal scenario if your industry and brand allows it. These agency partners are the ones in charge of making noise, creating hype, setting trends and turning heads.
- **Agencies of Ecosystems.** Agencies like ours that deal with the [unbearable quantity](https://chiefmartec.com/2020/04/marketing-technology-landscape-2020-martech-5000/) of available tactical choices in technology, helping you choose your tools and [making all the moving parts work](https://www.takefortytwo.com/en/solutions/fuego/). This of course includes website, ecommerce, and martech.

And the list can go on. An era of smaller egos and better teamwork. It’s a [Hollywood model](https://outsight.international/blog/the-hollywood-model-dynamically-built-teams-for-creativity-at-scale) on steroids where you – through your in-house team – call the shots and keep the strategy on the right lane.

In short:

- Empower your team to operate as an in-house agency. Chances are they’re doing it already.
- Free your company from long term contracts and old fashioned agency dominance.
- Delegate the tactical stuff (to someone who gets it, and preferably, cares)
- Choose to control what’s strategic.

Yes, [it’s the end of the world as we know it.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm-aY) But it’s fine.
