How we work on it

Inside Sector Practices.

Twenty sector desks, because category fluency is not something you improvise in a first meeting. Each desk knows the buying cycle, the trade press, the regulatory line and the seasonal rhythm before the engagement starts.

Frequently asked

Questions about sector practices.

What if my category is not listed?

The twenty listed are where we hold depth. Adjacent categories are taken on where the buying pattern is similar, and we say so upfront.

Do you work with competing brands?

Not within a category without written disclosure and client agreement. We maintain a conflicts register.

Can a desk handle regional markets?

Yes. Regional trade press and language media are part of every desk where the category sells outside metros.
