Probably not, and we would rather say that early than waste a month of your time finding out.
This is not a complaint about procurement. Their job is to compare like with like against criteria set down before any vendor is seen: rate cards, team size, delivery timelines, comparable scope. Done consistently, that is a job well done, and for most categories it is exactly the right way to buy.
The difficulty is that we have never once managed to explain what we do inside that frame. What you are buying from us is judgement about how your company should be understood by the people who decide whether to shortlist you. The value of it shows up later, in whether the right buyer recognises themselves on the page and stays. There is no column on a standard scorecard for that. Line us up against three agencies on day rate and turnaround and we will lose, correctly, because on those two axes we are not the better buy.
So if the hire or no-hire call genuinely sits with procurement, we are the wrong agency for you. Choose one of the others, without guilt.
Where this works is when the person who owns the brand is in the room and can decide. Procurement can still run the contract, the paperwork and the negotiation, and often should. What matters is who makes the call.
