cruise ship companies, travel agencies, hotels, and other travel-related industries. The<br />

agency may have experience in this area or may even have previously worked on the<br />

advertising account of one of the client’s competitors. Thus, the agency can provide<br />

the client with insight into the industry (and, in some cases, the competition).<br />

Types of Ad Agencies<br />

Since ad agencies can range in size from a one- or two-person operation to large organizations<br />

with over 1,000 employees, the services offered and functions performed<br />

will vary. This section examines the different types of agencies, the services they perform<br />

for their clients, and how they are organized.<br />

Full-Service Agencies Many companies employ what is known as a fullservice<br />

agency, which offers its clients a full range of marketing, communications,<br />

and promotions services, including planning, creating, and producing the advertising;<br />

performing research; and selecting media. A full-service agency may also offer nonadvertising<br />

services such as strategic market planning; sales promotions, direct marketing,<br />

and interactive capabilities; package design; and public relations and publicity.<br />

The full-service agency is made up of departments that provide the activities<br />

needed to perform the various advertising functions and serve the client, as shown in<br />

Account Services Account services, or account management, is the link<br />

between the ad agency and its clients. Depending on the size of the client and its<br />

advertising budget, one or more account executives serve as liaison. The account<br />

executive is responsible for understanding the advertiser’s marketing and promotions<br />

needs and interpreting them to agency personnel. He or she coordinates agency efforts<br />

in planning, creating, and producing ads. The account executive also presents agency<br />

recommendations and obtains client approval.<br />
