Lessons Learned

Category consolidation is the most common reason partners leave — when a competitor wins the category, the incumbent rarely returns.

Mergers and corporate restructuring account for several departures; these are relationship continuations, not losses, under a new brand.

Budget reallocation toward national or digital platforms signals where to reposition the pitch for similar brands.
