As we observe Mental Health Day, The Great Pitch Company reflects on the critical insights from our annual Great Pitch Poll. Our findings underscore the urgent need for change in how agencies approach mental health and work-life balance.
Our Call to Action
As Marcus Brown, our CEO, states: “How long can our industry rely on the goodwill of team members to go above and beyond rather than fund the New Business discipline in the way it deserves?”
This Mental Health Day, we urge agencies to:
1. Prioritize mental health support systems
2. Balance workloads effectively
3. Respect personal time with enforced policies
4. Embrace industry-wide initiatives like the Pitch Positive Pledge
Looking Forward
The Great Pitch Company is committed to monitoring and improving the health of the vital business development function in our industry. We believe that by giving voice to those on the front lines, we can drive meaningful change.
This Mental Health Day, let’s commit to creating healthier, more supportive work environments in the agency world. It’s time to move beyond relying on employee goodwill and instead invest in sustainable, healthy work practices that benefit both individuals and businesses.
And look out for the Great Pitch Poll 2024 coming soon…
