Finding the right agency partner isn’t easy. The stakes are high: budgets are tight, timelines are short, and your brand’s growth depends on getting it right. Maybe you’ve outgrown your current agency or been burned by promises that didn’t deliver. Or maybe you’re just tired of feeling like a small fish in a holding-company sea.&nbsp;That’s where independent agencies shine.&nbsp;We understand how overwhelming the search process can be, especially when every agency says they’re strategic and agile. But independence isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a different way of working. One that prioritizes people over politics, relationships over red tape, and long-term results over short-term wins.&nbsp;Here are five reasons why working with an independent agency like Brunner could be the smartest decision you make for your brand.&nbsp;<h2>1. Your Brand Is the Priority, Not Shareholders&nbsp;</h2>Perhaps the most obvious difference is that independent agencies aren’t bound by holding‑company hierarchies or shareholder deadlines. That means we can move fast, pivot when campaigns or budgets shift, and still stay focused on your 1‑, 3‑, or 5‑year needs.At Brunner, we answer to one thing only: your success. Our independence allows us to be more proactive, more flexible, and more strategic, meaning better results for you.&nbsp;<h2>2. You’ll Experience True Partnership from Day One&nbsp;</h2>At Brunner, we don’t want to be considered as just another vendor. Our clients are collaborators, and they consistently refer to us as partners and extensions of their in-house marketing teams. As an independent agency, we operate with skin in the game, aligning our success with yours. That leads to focused, dedicated relationships and original ideas born from genuine partnerships.&nbsp;

Discover why partnering with an independent agency like Brunner can give your brand a competitive edge – from personalized service to innovative strategies.
