Client leadership = superconnectors

Debbie Hannes

  • Client leadership serves as a network of "superconnectors," creating meaningful partnerships and bridging expertise to deliver measurable value. 
  • Collaboration across client organizations streamlines efforts, fosters trust and drives business outcomes with aligned strategies. 
  • A tech-agnostic approach empowers RAPP to tailor cost-effective solutions that integrate seamlessly with clients’ existing platforms. 
  • Through the Omnicom network, RAPP delivers cohesive, specialized support that meets unique client needs and builds long-term partnerships. 

 

The foundation of exceptional client leadership is relationships. At RAPP, we see every client as more than just an account. We take the time to understand them as individuals — their preferences, priorities and what truly matters to their business. Understanding clients at this level creates a genuine partnership, one built on trust and mutual respect. 

Because of this connection, we can anticipate their needs, offer thoughtful recommendations and promote open, honest feedback. These relationships allow clients to be real with us, giving us the insight needed to deliver solutions that exceed expectations. Acting as a network of "superconnectors," client leadership turns these partnerships into measurable results by bridging expertise across disciplines, teams and technologies. 

Delivering Expertise Across Disciplines 

Relationships form the foundation, but expertise drives the outcomes. Within RAPP, client leadership connects subject matter experts (SMEs) across disciplines like advanced analytics, paid media and generative AI-powered creative production to create tailored, impactful strategies for every client. 

For example, many clients come to us with working personas, but through a customer experience segmentation approach rooted in marketing sciences, we refine these personas to make them sharper and more actionable. The result is messaging that resonates deeply with customers at every stage of their journey. 

For mid-sized clients, our paid media team is often the go-to resource. These clients receive personalized attention from senior team members while also gaining the advantages of Omnicom’s buying power and tools. Our balanced approach helps clients feel valued, supported and never like “a small fish in a big pond.” 

For those looking to scale further, our advanced analytics team helps identify untapped opportunities through techniques like lookalike modeling, marketing mix modeling (MMM) and funnel analyses. And our smart creative processes produce creative variants for efficient mass personalization across channels, audiences and regions. 

Whether it’s expanding reach or enhancing personalization, connecting with clients on a deeper level allows us to craft solutions tailored to their unique business needs. 

Fostering Cross-Functional Collaboration 

Client collaboration is also about understanding the bigger picture within client organizations. We know that achieving business objectives often involves multiple teams, each with its own goals and priorities. That’s why we serve as the connective tissue across these teams, cultivating collaboration and aligning efforts to deliver results. 

Often, client leadership is the only constant connecting diverse departments. By facilitating open communication, we encourage clients to share honest feedback and insights, which helps us fine-tune strategies and guarantee alignment across every level of the organization. Openness builds trust, strengthens agency-client relationships and makes tackling future challenges together that much easier. 

Tailored, Tech-Agnostic Solutions 

Each client’s challenges and goals are unique, which is why RAPP takes a tech-agnostic approach. We don’t push specific platforms or tools. Instead, client leadership starts by listening to our clients, then collaborates with our Tech and MarSci disciplines to assess what they truly need to achieve their objectives. 

For many clients, this means savings. Our teams work within and enhance existing platforms, reducing the need for expensive overhauls or lengthy retraining periods. By conducting thorough audits, we pinpoint gaps and recommend only the tools and processes to help clients scale efficiently. 

A customized approach makes sure every client gets solutions that work for them today and set them up for long-term success. Whether introducing advanced AI tools or streamlining legacy systems, we focus on delivering seamless integration and real results. 

Extending Value Beyond RAPP’s Core Offerings 

Partnerships are at the heart of everything we do, and when client’s needs extend beyond RAPP’s traditional swim lanes, we tap into the power of the broader Omnicom network. 

For instance, when a global client needed localized guidance on GDPR compliance, we collaborated with our colleagues in Germany to provide in-depth insights. Similarly, our partnership with Omnicom teams in Australia ensured seamless support for a client’s regional operations. 

In each case, we didn’t just connect the dots — we maintained strategic alignment and facilitated open communication so that clients received consistent, high-quality support no matter where or when their needs arose. These efforts strengthen trust, demonstrating that clients can count on us to deliver, even beyond our immediate scope. 

Superconnectors in Action 

At RAPP, client leadership is more than a function — it’s a philosophy. We start with relationships, building trust and understanding that allows us to connect ideas, teams and technologies in ways that truly make an impact. 

Whether we’re personalizing strategies, scaling solutions or advancing collaboration within client organizations, we approach every challenge with empathy and precision. The result is long-term partnerships that drive measurable success.
