Necessity behind Last Mile's Purpose
Huge cultural change impacting the advertising & marketing industry in India, massive pressures on revenues (organic & inorganic) and operating margins, cost of retaining top talent a stress point for the agency, client fee slowdown, irregular fee hikes as per agency, high global expectations given declining growth rates in Europe & N.A, Agency overhead costs higher than growth rate in the business, fragmentation of agency functions: money distributed across more marketing services (digital, social, brand identity, etc.). All this leading to questions of integrity, transparency and honesty in relationships between brands and their communication partners and other third party vendors
