I am looking at putting quite a large pitch out for all of our digital work, however it is too big a project for me to confidently make sure I get the right agencies involved for a pitch.

Does anyone have any experience of using an agency to manage a pitch and get a good roster of digital agencies involved?

It's a real difficult one to search forums etc for. The words "pitch" and "agency" appear in most agency websites! Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Simon
Recently have been involved with The Haystack Group http://www.thehaystackgroup.com/.
Speak with Alan Thompson and feel free to use my name. Not sure on his creds for digital work but I was very impressed by him and his company.
Thanks

Try also AAR Group - www.aargroup.co.uk. Speak to Juliet Blackburn who is Head of Digital - they know what they are talking about - are not a "self service" offering but if you want someone to help you manage the whole process then would recommend - have recently handled digital pitch work for Travelodge.

I'd also recommend AAR and Haystack. Have had more experience of AAR mind, in non-digital world, but they're pretty plugged in.

Don't know if you've come across our "Winning New Work: A Business Development Guide for UK Digital Agencies & Consultants" - that's got details of most of the better known pitch agencies as well as a whole lot of other stuff.
