Brands and agencies: a dynamic duo since the beginning of marketing time. We’ve all had good relationships, bad relationships and good relationships gone bad.

Dating tips to maximize the brand-agency relationship
In a joint presentation, Sharon Conner (search marketing strategist at Autodesk) and Chad Gingrich (senior SEO manager at Seer Interactive) compared the brand/agency partnership to dating.
