How it works

Three steps, one consistent brief

Most agency searches fall apart because every agency gets a slightly different story. This fixes that.

  1. 01

    Shortlist

    Filter by discipline, sector, team size and budget. Tick the agencies worth talking to — the shortlist follows you.

  2. 02

    Brief once

    Fill in one structured RFP instead of six inconsistent emails. Every agency answers the same questions.

  3. 03

    Compare

    Responses arrive against the criteria you set, in the format you chose, before the deadline you named.

  • Marcus and Muse

    Independent media planning and buying

    An independent media buying agency that plans and buys across streaming TV, programmatic display, video and audio, digital out-of-home, paid search and paid social — for Government of Canada departments, national associations, B2B technology companies and consumer brands. The model is structural rather than rhetorical: no platform kickbacks, no undisclosed rebates and no reselling margin, one disclosed fee, media at actual cost, and the client keeps the platform seats, the data and the vendor relationships. Built on two decades inside the supply chain, at Sharethrough on the supply side and Samsung Ads in connected TV. Also the founder of the Ottawa Ad Club.
