How do I conduct a search for an agency using this database?
There are three ways to search:
- Alphabetically
- Keyword
- Multiple criteria
The alphabetical search displays agencies by the first letter in the agency's name. This is helpful when you know an agency name but not the spelling of the name, or an agency with multiple offices.
The keyword search works like a regular search engine. It finds agencies whose profiles contain your indicated keyword. Keywords may be a specific client or brand name, a discipline such as direct marketing, or industry experience such as cosmetics or technology. The keyword may not be a number, such as billings.
The multiple criteria search shows agencies that meet the precise parameters you indicate. The searchable parameters in this database include:
- Clients and brands
- Billings
- Staff information
- Agency services and industry experience
- Agency location
Indicate your search criteria by pointing and clicking on the desired check boxes and pulldown menus. You may check off one or any combination of criteria for your search. Your results will be all agencies in the database that meet your requirements.
What is an "and/or" search?
An "and/or" search is another option when conducting a multiple criteria search.
An "and" search returns agencies that meet all of your indicated criteria. For example, a search for agencies that are located in New York, and have 50-100 employees, and have food and beverage experience, would produce a list of agencies that met all three criteria (New York agencies with food and beverage experience and are staffed with 50-100 employees). An "and" search usually results in a short list of agencies.
An "or" search returns agencies that only meet one or more of the criteria. A search for New York agencies, or agencies that have 50-100 employees, or agencies with food and beverage experience might produce a list of
- All New York agencies
- All agencies with 50-100 employees
- All agencies with food and beverage experience
- Agencies located in New York with 50-100 employees
- Agencies located in New York with food and beverage experience
- Agencies located in New York with 50-100 employees and food and beverage experience
- Agencies with 50-100 employees and food and beverage experience
An "or" search generally results in more agencies than an "and" search.
How do I save agencies to my portfolio?
There are two ways to save agencies to a portfolio:
Directly from an agency profile page. Click the "Save to Portfolio" button to save the agency to your portfolio. If you did not log in at the start of the session, you will be prompted to enter your username and password first.
From a search results page. Click the box in the "Save to Portfolio" column for each agency you wish to save. You may save multiple agencies simultaneously. If you have not already entered your username and password, you will be prompted to do so before saving the agencies.
