What do New Year's resolutions, Valentine's Day, the Super Bowl, Mother's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving-and even Star Wars-have to teach us about building better business relationships?
Quite a lot, according to Joanne Davis.
In Walk in the Other Guy's Shoes, longtime agency search and relationship expert Joanne Davis turns the calendar into a practical-and often entertaining-guide to one of marketing's most consequential relationships: the triangle among marketers, procurement professionals, and agencies.
Drawing on decades of experience advising many of the world's leading companies and agencies, Davis offers 25 timely lessons about what makes client-agency relationships work, what causes them to unravel, and what each side can do differently.
Her premise is simple: marketers, procurement professionals, and agencies enter relationships with different responsibilities, pressures, expectations, and definitions of success. Better partnerships begin when each understands how the world looks from the other person's point of view.
From unclear briefs and agency reviews to compensation, feedback, ghosting, procurement's evolving role, AI, talent, trust, and the simple importance of saying thank you, Davis tackles familiar industry frustrations with candor, common sense, real-world examples, and humor.
WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS NOW
AI is changing how marketing and agency work gets done. Procurement is playing an increasingly important role in agency relationships. Agencies are being asked to deliver greater value, faster and more efficiently. Marketers face growing pressure to demonstrate business results amid tighter budgets, new technologies, and increasingly complex organizations.
Yet one thing remains remarkably constant:
Great work still depends on great relationships.
Davis argues that the marketing-procurement-agency triangle works best not when everyone thinks alike, but when each side understands-and respects-the responsibilities and pressures of the others.
WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK DIFFERENT
Rather than offering another dense management framework, Davis uses the rhythm of the calendar to make good relationship practices memorable.
New Year's Day becomes an opportunity to align expectations. Valentine's Day asks whether we still "love" the work, the people, and the partnership. Spring Cleaning invites us to discard behaviors that aren't working. Take Your Kids to Work Day inspires "Take Procurement to Agency Day." Halloween tackles tricks, broken promises-and ghosting. Thanksgiving reminds everyone of something surprisingly powerful: saying thank you.
Throughout, Davis's advice remains refreshingly human, candid, and practical.
Sometimes the smartest way to improve a business relationship is also the simplest:
Walk in the other guy's shoes.
