Objectives
Our objective was to recruit 70 participants for in-depth interviews from the USA & Canada, UK, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, and China. The 30-minute phone interviews focused on key sectors and functions, including Finance, Technology, Strategy, HR, and transformation roles. Participating companies spent at least $1 million on professional services, and interviewees were decision-makers familiar with marketing and communications from professional services firms.
