The people who generate all the ideas and work are evolving and realising that they themselves could be reaping the rewards rather than the agency.
Agencies on the other hand are happy to keep trying to live in a world which is ceasing to exist. Clinging onto the same ideas, tools, and ways of working with CEOs who are either oblivious to the current mindset or too frightened to instigate change. It’s the perfect storm of increasing entrepreneurialism, decreasing loyalty and an industry reveling in mediocrity.

We're a 20% company. For one day of our working weeks (sometimes more) we work on projects which have mostly non-commercial aims, like digital work for charities, or things which are just good fun.

"Forrester Research believes today’s ad agencies are not well-structured to take on tomorrow’s marketing challenges, needing to move from making messages to establishing community connections." What, really?

The old digital agency model is not helpful today. Instead, the industry can learn a lot from social start-ups (like Vimeo - who I am in love with, or SoundCloud) and work as fast as possible, being entrepreneurial, pragmatic, and nimble [...] People in traditional agencies - ‘old new media’ and our cousins in advertising - say they find all of the above quite challenging - which is weird because these agencies are stuffed with really smart people.

Designers Republic goes under. "I’ve never liked that agency model - it’s not where creativity lies. DR accidentally ended up there in order to service bigger clients. I’m not being ungrateful to the people who ran the business side at DR – it wasn’t their fault. I’m glad we did it - it took getting there to make me realise that it wasn’t where I wanted to be."

"Clients complained that their agencies [...] typically treat social channels like blogs as traditional media. In other cases, their ideas are not backed up by practical skills in the area." Glad it's not just me.

I think there are two ways to start / be a great creative business - 'the group of experts' (which I think of as The Magnificent Seven) and 'the group of friends' (which always makes me think of The Double-Deckers.)
