In the report, In-house agencies were identified as being most important for producing new creative assets, followed by other internal teams, external agencies, and media partners.

Fifty-five percent identified in-house agencies as being ‘very important’ for producing new creative assets, while 42 % said other internal teams were key to asset production.

At the same time, 26 % of respondents said external agencies were ‘very important’ in the development of new messaging while 22 % cited media partners as making very important contributions. Eleven percent of production companies were rated ‘very important’
