Bringing work in-house? Rebuild the process, not just the team

Four in five advertisers now run some kind of in-house marketing operation, and a panel of people who have done it couldnโ€™t agree on one right model โ€” hybrid, embedded agency, full internal. What they did agree on: in-housing breaks on sequencing, not ambition. The agency was quietly running your approvals, brand governance and sign-off process โ€” bring the work in without rebuilding those and every missed step gets misdiagnosed as a people problem.

๐Ÿ’ก Why it matters

82% of advertisers now run in-house teams, up from 55% a decade ago โ€” and the ones that struggle rarely lack talent; they skipped the unglamorous step of rebuilding the approvals, brand rules and sign-offs the agency used to run for them.
