The old Agency Network homepage asked a single question: looking for an agency? The useful follow-up is narrower. What job are you hiring, on what commercial model, and who will still be on the account after the chemistry meeting?

This hub is the due-diligence desk. Start with how to choose a digital marketing agency in Australia, then write the brief before anyone from a shop is in the diary. When the decks arrive, read the proposal for the hours, the names, and the things that are not priced. The last fork is specialist versus full-service.

If you already know the city or the channel, jump to city scenes, SEO or SEM. If you already have a shop and the work is drifting, go to working together.
