"Full-service agencies’ value proposition has been that they can execute a client’s message through every conceivable medium." This is not very accurate. "Full-service" usually means that an agency both makes the ads an

Feedback from the client: Thanks for sending this over, it looks great. Could you just add a few tweaks? - Add the seal - We need the "top secret" stamp on each slide - We think the grey is too bland. Could you make it pop more? -

I was looking at her old reports and thinking how she missed many of the real trends (as opposed to fads) at their onset. The October 2007 report only mentions the iPhone as a footnote. The 2005 (iirc) report talks about Joost, but not Face

There were five cookies, not four. The fifth cookie was left untouched, just as the norms dictate. It's the fourth cookie that the "leaders" went for. The study was done in 1998 and the original paper hasn't been published, but the research
