The Pitch Positive Pledge is an industry wide initiative to help make the pitch process more intentional, accountable and responsible for both advertisers and agencies. The pledge will drive better outcomes including more transparency, better mental health and so better-quality work, fewer costs and less wastage.
As the name indicate it aims to make the pitching process more positive for everyone involved – advertisers, agencies and intermediaries. It is a set of commitments that can reduce the negative impact of pitching on people, profit, and the planet. You can read more about the Pitch Positive Pledge here, but in short, this is what it is all about.
Three key aims:
- Be positive that a pitch is actually required – advertisers and agencies should only pitch when it is truly necessary to do so.
- Run a positive pitch – the process should be fair, respectful, and efficient.
- Provide a positive resolution – all parties should communicate the outcome of the pitch clearly and respectfully.
The Pitch Positive Pledge can benefit both advertisers and agencies:
- For advertisers – it can lead to more effective and efficient pitches.
- For agencies – it can lead to more sustainable and profitable relationships with their clients.
- For both – it can lead to a more positive and productive working environment.
