COMPANY OVERVIEW

Having successfully completed more than 1,500 agency searches after counseling marketing executives for more than 30 years, our philosophy stands just as strong today as it did from day one and is the cornerstone of everything we offer. “Creating smAARt Partnerships Impacting ROI” is one of the best ways to leverage the marketing budget and we’re proud to say that our client-agency ‘marriages’ endure well beyond the 3-5 year industry average.

We consider it our job to know about the agency universe and the more agencies we know, the more valuable we are to clients, as well as agencies’ new business efforts. The AAR Partners offer valuable insight and perspective based upon their personal experience as senior executives on both the client and agency sides of successful agency relationships… and of course, from counseling clients and agencies for more than three decades.

AAR Partners is proud of the successful client-agency partnerships we have helped forge. It is a testament to AAR’s expertise that clients return to us again and again and agencies who recommend us to clients that are about to embark on an agency review.

THE AAR PROMISE

We are dedicated to ensuring that you have a client-agency “partnership” that is enduring, successful and profitable based on great work. We want you to be more than just happy with your new client at the completion of the review - we want you to be thrilled. We will be thrilled when we know that AAR Partners has helped forge yet another “enduring partnership that matters!”

Over the decades, we have developed an efficient, effective and proven review process based on client and agency needs and input. However, we recognize that our process is a detailed framework (and not a mandatory mold) for agency reviews that always require some form of personal touch.

“Thanks to Lisa and Leslie for a job well done! It was very well managed and organized enabling us to quickly get to a very good decision. We learned in the process and I think we will be in a better position in the future. Thanks!!!” Bill Gentner, President, Andrew Jergens
