Start with the business problem, audience, geography, buying cycle, baseline, budget and required channels. Ask who develops strategy, who does the work, what is subcontracted, which accounts and data you own, how attribution and incrementality are handled, what the reporting cannot prove, and the complete agency, production, media, technology and cancellation costs.
