What's most important to you? Start there.

ROJEK led the industry in measuring shared values between client stakeholders and potential agency partners. Beyond capabilities and costs, successful partnerships require a strong cultural fit between your marketing organization and your agency teams — so we measure it, with CultureScanPRO®, before you commit.

During your search you'll experience collaborative team-building sessions with qualified candidates — a preview of the working relationship, not a beauty parade.

FAQ

Before you commit to a search.

What does an agency search consultant do?

An agency search consultant runs the process of finding, vetting and selecting an advertising agency: aligning stakeholders, shortlisting qualified agencies, managing the RFP, benchmarking compensation and managing the transition to the new partner.

How does ROJEK measure culture fit between client and agency?

ROJEK uses CultureScanPRO®, a proprietary measurement platform that scores the values shared between client stakeholders and candidate agencies, making culture fit a measurable input to the selection decision.

How long does a search take?

Our process is built to move you to the most qualified candidates quickly — clients like White Castle report it saved weeks, if not months, of their team's time versus running a search in-house.

What does it cost?

Each engagement is scoped to your objectives: you get a written proposal with three action plans and a specific range of fees before signing a Letter of Agreement. Agencies never pay to participate.
