Short answer
An agency pitch, or agency review, is a competitive process in which an advertiser evaluates several agencies before awarding its account. Stages usually include credentials, chemistry meetings, strategic and creative presentations, and commercial negotiations, sometimes managed by a search consultant. Reviews are costly for agencies, so clear briefs and fair processes matter to both sides.
