Go to podcastMarketing Management Consultant and M&A Advisor
Ivan Fernandes, a globally recognized marketing management consultant and M&A advisor, delivers a reality check on where agencies stand as AI, consolidation, and client sophistication collide. In this conversation with Adam Weil, Ivan argues that most agency leaders aren't asking the hard questions soon enough.
