The Women's Professional Leagues Limited worked with Creativebrief in the search for the right agency partner. To create a distinctive global sporting property, we needed to find a partner who could help us build a culturally and socially relevant brand, help us connect with a different audience and fuel fan growth at a pivotal moment in women’s sport. Access to the team’s guidance and knowledge on today’s most transformational agencies filled the process with highly-qualified potential partners. Thanks to a progressive pitch that focused on strategic workshops rather than solutions and answers, Creativebrief helped us to build a strong foundation for the future real-life working relationship with our agency partner.

Working with Creativebrief on our recent search for a new global creative agency partner was a real eye-opener. The brief was complex. It focused on the hunt for agencies that understood the worlds of culture, fashion, luxury and lifestyle, who were steeped in the complexities of partnerships, collaborations and talent, who knew Gen Z and Millennial audiences inside-out… but who were also true strategic partners to drive the long-term vision of the brand. What we learned during the process was how much amazing hidden agency talent there is that’s impossible to stay on top of as a marketing team, but that Creativebrief opened the door to for us.
