How the Talent Marketing Board rescued a member from partnering with an agency that wouldn’t fit their needs, saving them money in the process.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Challenge<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A Talent Marketing Board Member at a major industrial products brand needed to find a new agency to help them with their social media management. They had a specific one in mind and wanted to hear first-hand experiences to be better informed in the decision making process.<\/span><\/p>\n

How the Talent Marketing Board Helped\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"The Board Member reached out to our Membership Director for help, who used our database to quickly identify members who had worked with the agency in question. A direct connection was made within just a couple days. <\/span><\/p>\n

A direct connection with another talent marketing leader was made within just a couple days to share their experience with the agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Result<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In one brief conversation, the Talent Marketing Board Member not only got an unbiased look into what a new relationship would be like with this agency, but they also found out they wouldn’t be able to solve the frustrations they were already experiencing. <\/span><\/p>\n

This saved them from making a 5-figure mistake.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_image=”10232″ bg_position=”left top” background_image_loading=”default” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”75px” bottom_padding=”50px” text_color=”dark” text_align=”center” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Interested in learning more about membership?” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:1.5″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15px”][vc_custom_heading text=”As a leader, your mission is important.
