WHAT KIND OF CONTROL DO YOU WANT?
Gerhard Louw, Deutsche Telekom
Start with thinking about:
▪ Core business? Are advertising & media part of it?
▪ Company goals? Link to media, data & technology?
▪ Company set up: Centralised? Decentralised?
▪ Who is currently doing the work?
▪ What kind of resources do you have internally?
▪ How are you working currently with partners?
▪ How happy are you with your current media & martech performance/output?

TAKING BACK CONTROL: A NEW PARADIGM FOR ADVERTISERS
Gerhard Louw, Deutsche Telekom
“Our future is definitely going to be about more thoughtfully using our data thanby outsourcing”
- David Wheldon, RBS
“If 2017 was the year of the wake-up call, then 2018 is the year we take back control”
- Marc Pritchard, P&G
“When you have people take ownership and control, you can have better quality ads plus savings.“
- Lucas Herscovici, AB InBev
“Now, it’s much more about self-sourcing and learning as well as calling on external experts or agencies”
- Tatiana Jouanneau, Duracell

PARTNER MODELS: 3 OPTIONS FOR ADVERTISERS
Insourcing
▪ Hot!
▪ But very, very few advertisers can in-source the entire value chain!
▪ Start with “why:” why do you think you can do it better than a partner?
▪ Then: “what to in-source?”
▪ Then: “how:” detailed planning, business case and consequences: staffing, technology, operations, etc.
Outsourcing
▪ “Old” model
▪ Used by most advertisers today
▪ Bundles services into one agency per discipline
▪ Agency is in control, advertiser largely on the outside
▪ Limits channel neutrality, commercial transparency and flexibility
Hybrid Model
▪ Probably the most relevant model
▪ Advertiser decides on an operating model
▪ Advertiser takes control of certain aspects of the value chain
▪ Outsourcing some aspects to one or more partner (agencies, consultants, etc.)

RESTRUCTURE OURSELVES
Gerhard Louw, Deutsche Telekom
WHO DO YOU WE HAVE IN OUR MEDIA & ADVERTISING DEPARTMENTS?
▪ Start with current set-up: generalists vs experts
▪ Define the future skills you need, e.g. digitization experts, analytics experts, data analysts, etc.
▪ Current skills assessment, gap definition. Most probable solution:
▪ Basic digital training for everyone, e.g. e-learning (Circus Street)
▪ New experts required!
HOW DO YOU WORK TOGETHER INTERNALLY?
▪ Consider all stakeholders: commercial management, product, pricing, distribution, procurement, Data Warehousing / BI, CRM, sales: retail & e-business
▪ Start small & simple: cross-functional project teams, define common goals and projects
▪ Once that works, think of reducing the silos: merging departments
▪ Need even better internal collaboration: think of new organizational structures, e.g. agile working (Spotify model)
