Twenty years ago, the General Agent was the vital orchestrator of market flow and business success. But the digital revolution and market liberalization have relegated these old-school agencies to the periphery, often perceived as outdated. Yet, we've identified a powerful, unmet need in the contemporary market for a strategic partner embodying that core function, demanding a fundamental rethinking of what an agency can be.
