What to compare

Use the shortlist as a starting point

Relevant client evidence

Check whether the listed financial services relationship matches the kind of work you need.

Regulated environment experience

Ask how the team handles privacy, accessibility, security, approvals, and compliance constraints.

Strategic and delivery fit

Separate brand, communications, growth, product, and platform needs before comparing proposals.

Frequently asked questions

Does a listed financial services client mean the agency is a specialist?

No. A listed client shows a reported relationship, not a guarantee of specialist capability. Review the agency profile, relevant projects, and procurement evidence before selecting a partner.

What should financial services teams compare?

Compare relevant client work, experience with regulated environments, delivery capability, accessibility and privacy awareness, and the senior team that would work on your engagement.
