Posturing in the wilderness

In the last few days, three friends have expressed their amazement and frustration at the way in which some marketing agency people work (time management and ego seemed to be a common theme).

That's not entirely a revelation, since it's been that way for a long time. It is amazing though that someone hasn't changed the prevailing model to fit better what clients want, and how the world is starting to work (collaborative, peer-to-peer networking, rather than sequential hierarchies). What a huge opportunity for an agency prepared to make the change. Or to build something new.

The idea for a specialist service around data-driven, media-neutral creativity and execution, is starting to look more like an idea for a new kind of marketing agency.
