A project agency is the right call for a single launch or a one-off moment. An AOR makes sense once field marketing runs all year across retail, events and tours.
>> QUESTIONS
What is an experiential agency of record?
An agency of record (AOR) is the one partner a brand trusts with its field and experiential marketing all year: strategy, production, staffing, sampling, tours and reporting under one contract and one team.
What's the difference between an AOR and a project agency?
A project agency is hired one brief at a time. An AOR owns the whole calendar, keeps the learning from every program, and is accountable for results across the year.
How does an AOR relationship with Ignite start?
With a 90-day onboarding: an audit of current programs and vendors, a yearly plan, and the first programs live, followed by quarterly business reviews.
Can an AOR work alongside our other agencies?
Yes. Ignite can own field and experiential while your creative, media and PR agencies keep their lanes, with one shared calendar and reporting standard.
Do you publish who you are agency of record for?
No. We keep AOR relationships confidential. We're happy to share relevant references during a scoping conversation.
