How we run it
Agency outreach works when the sample is ready before the first message. We prepare one relevant piece of past work per segment, and the message offers it as the next step.
Brands with an in-house agency or a holding-group roster get filtered out during sourcing, using the company's own pages, so the profile spends its weekly invitations on brands that buy from independents.

Questions
How do creative agencies find new clients on LinkedIn?add
By writing to the CMO, marketing director or head of brand when a brand has a dated creative need: a launch, a rebrand, a new market or a new marketing leader. The message points to one piece of work that fits the moment.
Should an agency send a portfolio in the first message?add
Offer it as the next step. A first message of under 400 characters with one fact about the brand and one offer gets read; the reel goes out when the person says yes.
Which brands are the best fit for agency outreach?add
Consumer brands with 201 to 10,000 people, a marketing team of their own and a reason to brief this quarter. The counts on this page cover consumer goods, retail, fashion and cosmetics brands in five countries.
