Joanne Davis Consulting (NYC) and Bob Wolf Partners/TPG (LA) seek to consolidate national coverage, share benchmarking data and collaborate on ANA/other initiatives.

Los Angeles and New York – Two firms best known for conducting agency reviews and helping advertisers with their client-agency relationships are joining forces to strengthen their national presence and work collaboratively on several special initiatives.

Dan Pearlman, CEO and founder of Bob Wolf Partners/TPG, indicated, “While we provide services throughout the U.S. (Bacardi, ADT, NY Times and Lending Tree are a few of its representative clients), some might prefer if we had a presence in New York (rather than Los Angeles). This is one reason we have formed a joint-venture partnership with Joanne Davis Consulting (based in New York City), who works with Macy’s, Exxon Mobil, Pfizer and others. Another reason includes our shared philosophy of the importance of the client-agency relationship and the need for a win-win compensation package for the agency.”

Joanne Davis, President of Joanne Davis Consulting, noted, “Dan and I have known and respected each other for over fifteen years…we have an opportunity to mutually strengthen certain category experience, share data and improve our national footprint…all to be more competitive in the marketplace.”

Both Principals are involved with the ANA (Association of National Advertisers), having been asked to lead workshops for its member clients on the subject, “Optimizing Client-Agency Relationships.” Also, both have found that their clients find it helpful to supplement their internal marketing and procurement talent with Subject Matter Experts like the two firms offer resulting in faster, more efficient and successful reviews.

Although Bob Wolf Partners/TPG, founded in 1996, is best known for its agency review and selection process (e.g. advertising, digital, direct, public relations, etc.) for clients such as Toyota, Jenny Craig, TD Ameritrade and Subway; its proudest work has been for the improving the existing relationship between marketer and agency as evidenced by being selected by the ANA (Association of National Advertisers) to conduct workshops with its Fortune 1000 member clients on how to optimize such relationships. The firm also assists with performance audits and compensation structure and negotiation…both key components to a healthy client-agency relationship.

Joanne Davis Consulting, founded in 2000, is well known for its focus on client-agency relationships, in-house training for clients, as well as its fine work conducting review, structuring compensation and more. It has served no fewer than 25 of the top Fortune 100. Joanne Davis has led ANA workshops for seven years and has written several acclaimed books on client-agency relationship matters.
