Agency Pols

Is it me, or is it the market?

The monthly panel of the Belgian agency market

You know how your month went. Not how everyone else's went.

That's what the Agency Pols is for. Every month agency owners give six figures about their own month. Together those become one figure for the market, and you get it back with your own score beside it. Ninety seconds of work.

The average of six axes, on a scale of 1 to 5. Three is neutral: no better and no worse than usual.

Every panel member gets this figure every month. What you don't see here is the part that's about you.

What you get back

Your six axes against the market

Red is your month, purple is the panel. Where the two diverge, it's you and not the market. That's usually the most interesting axis.

Where you sit among the others

One ruler with the whole panel on it and your dot in it. Not just the average but the spread too: sometimes the market mostly disagrees with itself.

Compared with agencies like yours

Switch to agencies of the same type or the same size. If that group is too small to keep anyone unrecognisable, the comparison falls back to the whole panel and we say so.

What it costs you

Six sliders. No open questions, no figures from your books, nothing to look up. The invitation arrives on the 25th and you can fill it in until the 5th.

The ground rules

Your answer stays inside the panel

We never show an individual answer, and no figure appears below 10 entries. Your comments stay with IKAg too.

It's a trade

Whoever gets the market figure gives one. Skip several months in a row and this screen closes until you take part again.
