The motivation for performing an audit is to improve returns on investment from the substantial investments organizations make in marketing resources and people.
Our audit reports on how the organization is structured, the skill level of the team members and agencies as it relates to their ability to reach the business goals of the organization.

By interviewing team members about their workload, strengths and challenges and by reviewing change log activity we are able to get a handle on team capacity, bottlenecks and work allocation.

Findings often confirm that activities like training provide short term benefits in the form of improving results while reducing spend.  Longer term strategies like in-housing are best planned out well in advance and executed in phases to minimize disruption by ensuring a knowledge transfer as the baton gets passed.
