To determine if Compass Healthcare Communications is the right partner for you and your brand, consider the following:

1. Partnership. The client-agency relationship is based on partnership. We’re in this together, so approach it that way. Do you think we would be good partners? Will we influence your brand’s success? A good place to find out the answer is to look at what kind of partners we’ve been in the past. How long have our clients stayed with us? All of the Compass clients are still with us,

   		"Compass anticipates needs and then meets them quickly and efficiently"

   we’ve never lost one. Also, are we people you can trust? We believe great partnerships are based on trust; it is the foundation of our organization.
2. Capability. Do we have specialized experience in your category? If so, great. If not, can we bring fresh thinking to the table? Do we demonstrate an understanding of your marketing challenges? Your competitors? Take a close look at our processes and how we work. Look closely at work and how we measure success. Have our programs achieved the goals that were agreed to at the beginning of the program?
3. Chemistry. Let’s face it. We’re going to be spending time together. Do we share the same philosophies? To size up what it will be like to work with the agency team, look closely at how we work with each other. Does it seem like we enjoy working with each other? Do we respect each other? Agencies that are good at creating chemistry are usually good team players, good listeners, inspire trust, and deep down want to do what’s best for you and your brand. So why is all this stuff so important? Simple. The only way to create truly effective and stunningly great work is to first create a working environment based on trust, mutual respect and the spirit of collaboration.
