Once you have worked with Francis Drake, at the latest, you will recognise the added value of a pitch consultancy. A very pleasant and professional cooperation that leads to a valuable result! We had a lot of fun working together. Our expectations were exceeded by far. Be assured that we will come back to you if we look for a new agency again.

We thank you very much for the excellent cooperation. It was fun and you were a great help to us. With your support and expertise, together we got it to work the way it should.

After a successful completion of our search for a creative agency, I would like to thank you very much for the professional support. From the long list of agencies for the structured preparation of the documents to the "Chemistry checks", you have more than fulfilled our expectations. Furthermore, the cooperation was always very constructive and cooperative - just as you would wish from a good Business relationship. I will recommend you in any case.

With the help of Francis Drake we managed to find the needle in the haystack.

The support provided by FRANCIS DRAKE Pitchberatung in this ambitious award procedure was absolutely professional and we are extremely satisfied with the result. Many, many thanks for the support and the cooperation, which was great fun at all times 👍🏻

I would like to thank Francis Drake once again for the productive partnership and very professional cooperation. You transformed our complex job profile into a very focused and systematic selection process. You have surprised us through the whole process with a great range of highly qualified agencies, which are highly relevant for our task. Overall, you have saved us precious time and delivered excellent content results in a short time. We all look forward to working with our new agency. I am happy to recommend Francis Drake.

The "Principles of Cooperation with Agencies" workshop with Francis Drake has shown us what we should pay attention to when working with agencies in the future, how important it is to create liabilities and ambiguities to appeal. It has become clear to us how to negotiate and which rules to apply for professional handling on equal terms. Our conclusion – a successful event we recommend.

In general, I know a lot about the agency landscape. However, Francis Drake impressed me with their market and industry expertise. Based on clear decision templates, I was able to select three top agencies after the chemistry check for the upcoming pitch. All in all, Francis Drake saved me a lot of time, which I could use elsewhere. Thanks a lot for this.

From the determination of requirements, the market screening, the short-list creation, the detail selection, the chemistry check up to the final competition presentation, we were accompanied by you objectively and professionally. We were also able to benefit from your profound market knowledge during the subsequent contract negotiations. The entire selection process was structured, transparent, very efficient and to the utmost satisfaction in all project phases for all participants. Thanks to your help, we were able to find an ideal agency partner in a very tight time frame. Last but not least, working in partnership with you has been a lot of fun. We are happy to work with you again if necessary and recommend you further.

Many thanks to FRANCIS DRAKE for this high quality range of agencies.

We would not have been able to make such a great selection on our own. And certainly not in the time.

You brought us together with agency specialists (focusing on investment management communications) in an agency selection process tailor-made to our business needs, with whom we could start to work on an equal footing. As an "agency navigator", you provided us with well-founded industry know-how, a secure project, time management and exactly the agency that we would not have "discovered" on our own.

Francis Drake conducted a workshop in regard to the topic „Agency Landscape in Germany – How Can Marketing- and Communication-Departements find a Perfect Agency Partner in an Unclear Merket“. The workshop took place in context of my course „Brand – Marketing“ that is poart of the MBA program at FOM Bremen. The students were especially delighted about the profound approach to find the future agency partner among various others by using simple but highly efficient tools. It would be great to access Francis Drake’s Know how and competence during future events.

GET AHEAD AG is an established, medium-sized top executive search company based in Hamburg. After several years of deliberate communicative abstinence, we wanted to accompany the further development through PR measures. It was time for us to look for a suitable communication agency. Since we had a tight time frame, we brought a reliable partner in house. After an intensive workshop analysing the needs, Francis Drake set up a stringent and time-ambitious selection process. In the end we decided on an agency within the context of the chemistry presentations and with a manageable budget. Thanks again for your individual and competent advice. We look forward to working with our new PR agency and, whenever needed, accessing your services again at any time.

The cooperation was very pleasant and productive. Our goals and all our communication issues were understood by FRANCIS DRAKE so we got a very individual selection process.

After having never been completely happy with our self-researched agencies of the past years, we wanted to rely on the experience and the market overview of "insiders". In the process with Francis Drake many exciting agencies were introduced to us that weren’t aware of, but all fit our briefing. In the final selection and decision we were advised professionally and objectively, so that we could make the right choice.

We came to Francis Drake on recommendation. Previously, we were in doubt about actually engaging in external consultation as our task and budget were relatively manageable. Despite all this, we had and have a high demand for quality and creation. Francis Drake provided us a perfectly organized selection process that was tailored to our needs and a selection process including advice and content support during the final contract and remuneration negotiations. We can highly recommend the services of Francis Drake to all who want to find a new agency quickly and individually.

Francis Drake has proven themselves as an agency navigator. For both catalog agencies and digital agency, Francis Drake has searched and found suitable partners for us. We were navigated through a perfectly prepared and executed selection process. We would happily resort to the help of Francis Drake again.

Your support and extraordinary expertise in our tender for a digital agency has been extremely helpful. Thank you very much for your excellent support! We will gladly work with you again at any time and recommend you.

If I had to sum up our selection process in one word, it would be "SMOOTH". Every day, I cope with a high workload, leaving little time for an agency selection. But thanks to your support, the selection process has been the only project that I have not had to worry about in its entirety. Everything was perfectly punctual and perfectly prepared. In other words, Francis Drake were the only ones in my Excel project list I never had to postpone.

The support for the selection of our new B2B agency was excellent. We felt understood right from the start, the proposed agencies corresponded exactly to our briefing and the newly found agency hit us like a hammer. We are happy to recommend you!

Francis Drake has advised and supported us from the screening, through the selection of details to the chemistry checks, where we selected the perfect agency for us. We would always return to Francis Drake's services to get really good results. They think about everything and save valuable time for other important marketing tasks.

The pre-selection and layout of potential PR agencies for Miles & More was compiled by the agency navigator, Francis Drake, accurately, clearly and meaningfully. The agencies selected for the short-list presented themselves during the chemistry check in the second step - perfectly briefed and organized by Francis Drake. Incidentally, the agencies also reported that. And finally, we look forward to working with our favorite PR agency!

We need a new agency, quickly if possible. But how? Put it out to tender, look for one ourselves, pitch consulting?

From point zero it was clear to us that with Francis Drake it would be good: industry expertise meets empathy. 

The selection process was not only successful - it was also fun. Thank you!

Francis Drake accompanied us in the search for a digital agency for the design and standardization of the Nordzucker Group website. Lüsebrink and Niemeyer distinguished themselves by a fast comprehension and a deep understanding of our requirements and a very accurate implementation in the briefing of the candidates. Their very good knowledge of the industry led to an efficient selection process. In just a few steps, we have found an agency that meets our technical requirements and confirms the selection process in cooperation and personal "chemistry". We have always been well advised and supported by Francis Drake and we can recommend Francis Drake.

They did a great job. Each of the agencies would be a great addition to Pierre Fabre's dermo cosmetics.

The more complex and specialised the task, the more difficult it is to find the right agency. This is aggravated by the fact that the high level of complexity usually goes hand in hand with high budgets. With your own research via google & Co. you quickly reach your limits. After all, it's not just about finding an agency that is capable of solving the task per se. It's about finding the best possible agency. And this is where Francis Drake was able to help us perfectly.

We were very happy with the selection and have now taken a big step forward with our chosen agency with the Popp brand. Thank you once again for your professional and targeted support.

FRANCIS DRAKE supported us in the search and selection of a new full service creative agency, as well as in the development of a state-of-the-art agency contract. We were glad to have the two consultants, Jörg Lüsebrink and Christian Niemeyer, by our side. Their market overview and in-depth industry and agency insights helped us a lot with the decision. We would use the services of FRANCIS DRAKE at any time.

This project has been very interesting for us and we’re really happy with the outcome. Francis Drake understood our needs very well and were able to find agencies that will I’m sure, do a very good job for us in the near future. The whole process was very smooth and we strongly recommend working with Francis Drake.

In search of a new B2B agency, we quickly realized that the agency landscape is a broad field and the competences of individuals are hardly comparable. With Francis Drake's insights, we quickly got an overview of matching agencies that could cover our very diverse needs and markets. From the requirement profile through the selection of details to the chemistry checks, each step was very well structured and well organized in terms of content. The agency selection process was a complete success and the support for the agency contract was very helpful as well. Many thanks for the excellent organization, the solution-oriented process support and the partnership-based cooperation.

Thank you very much for your professional and structured support for this year's agency search!

Thank you very much for your great support. We felt very well advised at all times.

The task? Ambitious. The timing? Athletic. The result? First class! Not only did we have a very specific job profile which shows what our new media agency should do, but also extremely little time. A job for real specialists. From the first approach to the task to the development of the requirement profile to the screening and the production of the longlist, we always had the perfect partner at our side. In doing so, Francis Drake was not only characterized by a structured, fast and, above all, purposeful project work. Also, in terms of interpersonal matters, you always had the feeling that you had, not only a professional business partner, but also a good friend for the joint task on board. Thanks to Francis Drake. If you are looking for a new agency, I can only recommend one thing – pick up the phone and talk to the buccaneers of the Waterkant.

The consulting agency FRANCIS DRAKE professionally supported us from start to finish in the Europe-wide tender for the acquisition of a creative agency (negotiation procedure with competitive bidding) within the framework of the strict legal requirements. FRANCIS DRAKE has convinced us time and again with its in-depth specialist knowledge and understanding of the industry, the communications regulations and the principles of cooperation, from the announcement, the evaluation criteria and the agency selection to a modern agency contract. In particular, we would like to point out that FRANCIS DRAKE supported us strategically and intelligently in the run-up to the call for tenders with the development of the brand identity and brand positioning for the Stiftung Flucht, Vertreibung, Versöhnung. We were able to benefit greatly from FRANCIS DRAKE's excellent network of competent partners, including Miriam Barth, strategy consultant for brand development and communication. We would be happy to reaffirm FRANCIS DRAKE's services at any time and will gladly recommend them to others.

A big thank you to FRANCIS DRAKE. They gave us a lot of support in preparing the tender and we found the right agency, which we had not known before.

I am very grateful for the constructive and cooperative collaboration in the search for a creative agency. The process was professional, conclusive and convincing in its implementation from day one - from the creation of a longlist, the chemistry meetings and right up to the agency pitches, we could rely on the experience and judgement of FRANCIS DRAKE. The objectification and professionalisation of the selection process finally led to an excellent result, which we would not have achieved on our own. It was exciting for us to hear that the selected agencies also found the process pleasant and very well prepared - not least this showed us that the decision for Francis Drake was the right one. Thank you for your support!

Thank you for the support and assistance in choosing our future agency. That was very helpful for us and we think we made a good choice. We are happy to be your reference.

In the context of our urgent task to make the need for nature and environmental protection in society even more understandable, Francis Drake has supported us very successfully in the search and selection of an ideal agency for us and our requirements. The understanding of the task, the comprehensive market overview and the independence and objectivity in the consultation have led to a selection of suitable agencies, which has not made the decision easy for us, but has in the end led to a very promising result.
