Finally, there are specialised smaller agencies, one of which I was working for.

The network has only a few deals with smaller agencies left to close.

In the smaller agencies one account man services several accounts.

But they do not apply to smaller agencies.

This means that the smaller agencies retain autonomy and responsibility, but also contribute to a larger objective.

I believe all of the newer and smaller agencies work this way when they're talking to people about jobs.

Instead, a number of smaller agencies, often working independently of one another, handled different aspects of the nation's energy needs.

The big agencies are losing staff all over town, but smaller agencies with fewer overheads seem to be holding their own.

However, Dublin's top earners could well come from a few smaller agencies controlled by one or two individuals with strong clients and lower overheads.
