Providing constructive feedback to your marketing agency can make all the difference in delivering results that align with your vision and objectives. In this month’s podcast episode, Glint Advertising’s Jonathan and Erayne break down the essentials of effective communication between clients and agencies.
Why Feedback Matters
Clear and thoughtful feedback isn’t just about improving a single campaign; it fosters a collaborative relationship that boosts efficiency and ensures long-term success. Jonathan and Erayne emphasize that the quality of feedback directly impacts the creative process, helping agencies deliver work that truly meets your needs.
Key Elements of Good Feedback
- Specificity Over Vague Comments: Avoid saying, “I don’t like it.” Instead, explain why. For example, “The design feels too busy for a minimalistic campaign” provides actionable insight.
- Timeliness is Critical: Early feedback prevents wasted resources and keeps projects on track.
- Focus on the Brief: Revisit the project goals. If the deliverable strays from the agreed-upon vision, referencing the brief can steer it back on course.
Tips for Avoiding Common Pitfalls
Jonathan and Erayne also discuss what not to do when giving feedback:
- Don’t Micromanage: Agencies thrive on creative freedom; trust their expertise.
- Avoid Conflicting Input: Align internally before presenting feedback to avoid confusion and delays.
