Learn how advertising/marketing agencies go digital with NetSuite, who focus on creating campaigns that delight their clients and result in high revenues.
With the world moving almost en masse to digital products and services, advertising and marketing agencies are no different.

In this scenario, it is even more imperative that time, expenses and efforts are meticulously monitored and recorded for maximum cost efficiency of the agency.Without question, then, it does not make sense for modern advertising and marketing agencies to have disparate systems that do not ‘talk to each other’ to manage billing, resource assignment, and other project-based tasks.
