Who we are
Vendor-MGT combines two things that rarely live in one house: the decades of pitch, audit and negotiation craft its founder brings, and an in-house engineering team that builds the AI we scan, review & audit with. One reads the deals; the other reads the machines. Your budget flows through both.
The story
Vendor-MGT was founded by a consultant who spent 25 years organising media pitches, audits and vendor-management programs for advertisers large and small - hundreds of pitches, in more than fifty countries, from nearly every EU market to APAC including Japan, China, Korea and Australia, and across MENA. Along the way he shaped how the advertisers he worked with compared agencies on price and conditions - and how they managed their media budgets.
He sold his client portfolio to an international audit firm and stepped out of the market. Years later he returned - and built the AI analysis engine this firm runs on. Not to sell software, but for one reason: media had grown a second black box. Next to the offline world of deals, rebates and conditions came a digital one of programmatic trading, principal media and algorithms that answer to their owner, not to you. Reading the first takes deal-craft. Reading the second takes machine-craft. Vendor-MGT is where the two finally live together - on your side of the table.

A note to agencies
If you run a clean shop, we are the best pitch you will ever be in: a fair brief, a real decision, a yardstick that protects you too - and a consultant who is paid by the client, never off your margin. We are not against agencies. We are against not knowing.
