Fact is, even advertising agencies themselves need a good marketing strategy – a good telemarketing strategy so to say.

Graphic artists, publicists, creative script writers and PR experts may be good at crafting visual productions or graphics that can tell a story and compelling slogans like McCann’s funny cartoon ad for Metro Trains entitled “Dumb Ways To Die” (www.mccann.com.au) or Affinity’s fuzzy ad for Prozym Dental (www.affinity.ad).

However tough competition is scratching the ad agencies’ backs and the itch to get on ahead is undeniable. So aside from advertising themselves via web, broadcast and print channels, telemarketing bellies up to the list of their marketing tactics in the business picture.
