AMI provides education to build and certify professional marketing consultancies. AMI defines a consultancy as a marketing business that provides marketing director level consulting and project management services, but does not execute the marketing campaigns themselves. Therefore, the consultancy is specialized in managing 3rd party marketing providers.
This business model provides complete freedom for the marketer to transparently select and manage marketing service providers while being paid to provide the consulting and management the client so desperately needs.
Every AMI certified consultancy is built around the consulting & management skills taught to students, building out a TRUE consultancy model with the VALUE of the consultancy lying in the capability of the certified consultant.
