That’s why we’re inviting YOU to take part in this year’s survey.

The Great Pitch Poll 2024! When it comes to new business, is AI making your job easier or are you worried about it taking your job? Does your agency talk a good game when it comes to mental health, only to then ask you to work through the night or weekend on a pitch? Well, these questions and more we look to find out the answers to, as today we officially launch The Great Pitch Poll 2024 in the UK. We all know that working in business development can be both super exciting yet exhausting. But is the relentless pressure of trying to win new business taking a toll on your health? Back in 2019, I wrote an article for Campaign on pitching and mental health and since then the team here at The Great Pitch Company have been committed to championing better practices when it comes to mental health and pitching. But knowing that ‘if you don’t measure it, you won’t change it’, we set out to do an annual survey of business development practices across agencies in the UK. Each year we’ve had a fantastic response, with coverage across the trade media that has got the industry thinking about this key issue, including the IPA and ISBA launching the Pitch Positive Pledge, partly in response to our calls to improve pitching behaviours. To have your voice heard this year, please take just a few minutes to complete our survey, you will find the link in our post – we really would love you to be a part of this!

"AI is not a differentiator, it's an enabler". John Harris #ai

How are you using AI to enhance your pitching? AI isn’t just retooling the creative industry; it’s impacting the pitch process itself. From partially automating repetitive tasks like RFIs to fuelling strategic insight and aiding the creative process, AI allows agencies to focus on the high-impact human elements that provide the difference between winning and losing. At The Great Pitch Company, we see this shift for the better. If you need help using AI to improve your approach to Business Development - then get in touch. Attached is a great article to get you thinking more... #TheGreatPitchCompany #AgencyReview #AI
