The Intersection of Independent Agencies, Client Demands, and Media Execution 

Independent agencies lead the way in creativity and client satisfaction. They venture into exciting directions, take on unique projects, and embody an unapologetically scrappy, go-getter spirit. 

At Pathlabs, we are all here for it. But there’s one area that needs attention: digital media execution.

As client demands for top-tier media execution services increase, many independent agencies strive to handle everything in-house—from technology implementation and analytics to reporting and beyond. In short, these agencies try to do everything themselves. 

Is there a better way? We at Pathlabs believe so—through embracing media execution partnership.
