outcome4. Holistic ideas5. Business creativity


1. Consumer Focus

Ad agencies understand the mind of the consumer betterthan any other player

This is the unique strength to leverage


2. Brand Architects

Like a great building, a great brandneeds a skillful architect

This is the position that ad agencies should be moving to fill


3. Coalesce The Outcome

No resource can do it all alone, not even ad agencies.And marketers can’t do it themselves, either

Ad agencies need to develop skills in coalescing diverse talent and resources


4. Holistic Ideas

Great ideas alone are not enough. Today, they must be seamlessly aligned into the entire brand experience

Ad agencies need to create powerful ideas that integrate well with the whole


5. Business Creativity

Today’s business model is dying. A new one must beinvented. This will take an enormous leap by all

Ad agencies that lead in this can survive. Those that don’t will be marginalized


And Finally…

Accept the fact that reliance on 30 second spots and

colorful ads and other stuff as the backbone of the ad

agency business just won’t work anymore


The Good News

The consumer has more money than ever to spend, and is looking for relevant

messages about the brands that will fulfill their lives


Oh, And By The Way…
